pray for me
i want to know with them good (yeah)

[verse 1]
first, give an honor to god
to ms. carol who had first brought me and my moms
to the church, where i know i ain’t been in so long
i just pray that when i call, they still pick up the phone, yeah
with judgement comin’ from all angles
i never defend myself for approval from strangers
when they ‘on’t give a d-mn about my kids
since you ain’t gotta pray for me, just pray for them
and pray for my mom, and pray for my sis
who miss my granny, we need her at times like this
to think i prayed for the world to be back open
just to lose both of my grandparents to covid
and pray for every onе of my lil’ cousins

’cause growin’ up, he was really all that i had

[verse 2]
you know, growin’ up at a young age, my pops got deported to jamaica
and my uncle stepped up and was the father that i never had, so when i say, like
gotta thank my lil’ cousins for sharin’ their dad, they really shared they dad with me
he was the father figure i never had
and he really part of the reason why i am the way i am today
and why i’m as successful as i am in this, in this very moment
[verse 3]
instead of arguin’ on live, i should’ve prayed with tee flii
i could’ve got straight to the point, instead of lettin’ jokes fly
i should’ve called ty, ’cause he don’t struggle with his pride
if it was up to him to push us, still i’d be alive
so pray for me
pray for yg
pray for pc
pray for tc
pray for [?], h-jade and clean
[?] and ty, forever be the squad
gotta pray for teddy, gotta pray for lays
big s and lil’ s, i love ’em both the same
they a big part of the reason why i didn’t bang
and that’s a big part of the reason i’m still here today
so pray for migo and pray for ella mai
everything we done together kept our family straight
pray for anybody rockin’ the 10 summers chain
and any other homies that i didn’t name

[verse 4]
know it’s a lot of homies i ain’t name and sh-t, man
pray for b-wade, a real childhood friend
pray for norah, my assistant, man
pray for [?] the handicap [?]
pray for my engineer, david, who been in this motherf-cker day in, day out, blood, sweat and tears, for five years
pray for my n-ggas dae-dae and glove, man, them n-ggas kept us safe so many motherf-ckin’ nights
pray for my n-gga uno too, man, y’know

pray for auntie diane, roddy and keefa too
and last but definitely not least, you gotta pray for all my kids, kylan, kauner, and kody
most definitely gotta pray for the apple of my eye and the love of my life, brittney
and bebe mcfarlane the newest addition to the family
and even if i ain’t say your name, you know what’s up with me
[verse 5]
i pray to god to rake my steps on this path i’m going
gimme peace of mind, so that i stay focused
gimme discipline, so that i keep going
to the gym even when results ain’t showin’
lord, gimme the faith i need to move mountains
gimme financial freedom, know that there’s no accountant that’s more able than you
there’s no problems on this earth greater than you
and if you shall will, then
let me do everything on this earth that i was created to do
help me change lives, like you changed minds
like you changed mines, how could i forget?
how you made a millionaire out of 15 cent
when a dollar and a dream wasn’t always what it seem
sometime i couldn’t see, but i still believed
and then you made it real, you gave me everything i need
and all i had to have was a faith of a mustard seed

[verse 6]
so the point of this album is to have faith
no matter what field of work you in
no matter what you doin’ in life
have faith in it, and believe in it, at all times
and especially having god in your life first
because in a world full of the devil doing god knows what
as long as you keep god first, you’ll be alright
i’ve always had the ultimate confidence
i’ve always believed in myself
and i always try to be the best i can be
it was instilled in me as a kid
[verse 7]

[verse 8: dj mustard, dj mustard’s mom]
you know when i was young, you know, when i say: “first giving honor to god”
to ms. carol who had first brought me and my mom’s
you know that was like, that’s a real thing
you know how i moved from the jungles, to west la
and i met this lady named carol, her son was a drummer at the church
and i remember one day i seen her going to church, she was like
“you wanna go to church with me?” and i’m like “yeah”, and i went
you know i really went because i really wanted to be the drummer
but jermaine was always the drummer, so i never became the drummer, or whatever
but i, uhm, i went, and i became a member of believers community baptist church
and after i went a few times, and i became a real member of the church
i got baptized
and i think after that i told my mom
where i-, guess, my mom was at the baptize ceremony
but i asked my mom, “mom, you wanna go to church?”
and she was like “yeah i’d go”
you know my mom never stopped going to church, even when i stopped
you know so
i guess that was like a sign from god
and it also brought me and my mom closer
you know she lived by
[?] you know i’m prayin’ for you (you know i’m praying for you always)
and i don’t know, you know, my mom probably gonna be mad at me
but she used to be real bad at like cussin’ us out, me and my sisters would hear her start cussin’ like “get yo’ ass in the house” (get yo’ ass in the house)
you know that type of thing
but uh, you know, once she, once sh- she went to church, it kinda like changed her for the better
you know and it, uhh, softened her up a lil’ bit
and i never told her that but uh
i think that was the best thing that ever happened to me and her
you know cause it was me and her, my sister moved to atlanta with her husband and stuff
and had her own family
recently just moved em’ back here to be closer to us, but
you know, uhm, not to make it about that but
for the most part, man i just wanted everybody out there, you know
you been watchin’ me this whole time
studying my career, and you watched my whole journey
you’ve seen me grow, you’ve seen who i am, you’ve seen who i’d become
you’ve seen how i mean to my kids, cause i ain’t have a father
i had my uncle, but he taught me how to be a father
and uhh, i always admired that about him, that he took me in like i was his son that he never had cause he only got daughters
but uhm, it made me be the best father that i could be, and know that, you know
not to never take that for granted, cause all you got is time
and you can’t get time back
uhm, but to the fans, you know, the little kids, the little producers in the hood
that look at me and, look at it like it’s too far
it’s really not, i came exactly from where you come from
and anything is possible when you’re with the faith
and hard work gonna always be talent, everytime
so i want you to understand, you know
you can put anything you put your mind to
“faith of a mustard seed” is a testimony of me, just, you know, growing and bein’
who i knew i always could be, and who i was always gonna try to be
no matter what, n0body could’ve gotten in the way of me being who i am
and to show you that n0body can get in the way of you
until next time

[outro]
and oh yeah, if you ever in doubt of when i’m thinking about you
just know i’m praying for you
so you should pray for me too

[instrumental outro]
