A Rapper Named Nati - Thoughts & Prayers (feat. Rubix)

Life is hard, it ain't always fair
Tryin' to fight the odds is the bond we share
Tryin' to find a job, ain't got a lot to spare
The system's flawed and it's broken beyond repair
I used to wonder if my father cared
He would pick me up drunk and leave my mama scared
You didn't wanna be around when he was on a tear
But I left my mama's house and left the drama there
No pillow talkin', watch the gossip. We don't talk to squares
The last thing you wanna do is make the cops aware
They'll throw you in a box without cause or care
I ain't visit my bro when he was locked in there
One of my biggest regrets, but it's my cross to bear
People love a train wreck. They just stop and stare
Often we're not prepared for the awkward glares
And all they have to offer is thoughts and prayers

Thoughts and prayers
Lift me up, carry me
Thoughts and prayers
I don't know what's there for me
Thoughts and prayers
Give me love, share the dream
Thoughts and prayers
Music is my therapy

With my open mind, life no longer feels like a hopeless grind
My soul resides in a place that I've always hoped to find
I slowly ride the roller coaster life has chose to guide me
A lonely climb, my arms are weak but I just hold 'em high
I know that I better enjoy before the whole decline
Every high has a low, so I've learned that low is fine
There's hope in sight. Grab my shoe strings and pull 'em tight
I'm running through this battlefield that is filled with loaded mines
Gold and diamonds I don't require, there's no desire
Only hope for fire and passion for going higher
I've learned when a loved one hurts you, just hold 'em tight
You can lose everything in a minute there's no rewind
There ain't too many like me, I may be the only kind
This world is too dark for my heart so I only shine
We need the love, not the hate, the timing may be in prime
I keep my family in my thoughts and they pray for me all the time

Thoughts and prayers
Lift me up, carry me
Thoughts and prayers
I don't know what's there for me
Thoughts and prayers
Give me love, share the dream
Thoughts and prayers
Music is my therapy

I got a lifetime of scars to hide
I've been searchin' for solace but it's been hard to find
Tried to purchase some knowledge but got my card declined
Tryin' to learn to be honest but I just cross the line
I've been losin' sleep, prayin' for a lucid dream
Try to let the music speak, but no one hears it through the screams
I need this booze to drink, the only thing that's soothing me
'Cuz if I died right now, I don't know who would read my eulogy
They keep tellin' me that god is great
But he don't ever seem to answer when I call his name
I'ma get the help I need, just not today
The truth is I'm afraid of what the doc would say
Life is pain till they lay you in the coffin bare
That's the price we pay. We debate whether the cost is fair
So just keep me in your thoughts and prayers
'Cuz one day you'll wake up and I might not be there

Thoughts and prayers
Lift me up, carry me
Thoughts and prayers
I don't know what's there for me
Thoughts and prayers
Give me love, share the dream
Thoughts and prayers
Music is my therapy
