All my life

Whatever you want

Forget my people
Or my town
Or my race
And on my knees

And time and time
And time again

But these people
Wouldn't let me in
I tried and tried
And tried and tried
To make a way
But nothing
Happened
Till that day
That I prayed
That's why I pray
Ah yeah we pray
We got to pray just
To make it today
