First We Pray - Nate Dogg

featuring Kurupt 

Black people dont have no  no where to go 
you know  all we got to do is kick it 
we gonna kick it in our hood  you know 
what we gonna do  we might 
we might go kill a couple of niggaz mane 
you know  go in they hood and do a drive by 
then come back in the hood and laugh about that stuff 
you know  its just a thing 
only how you really gonna get deep into it 
is when one of your homeys die 
just like when my partnaz died 
(we got some problems) 

(Chorus) 
First we pray, then we ride 
First we pray, then we ride 

He was my brother 
loved him like no other 
to top it off 
I introduced him to this game 
I knew his mother 
loved her like my mother 
part of me is gone 
bout take my brother home 

[Bridge] 
(what're ya gonna do) 
when the trials come 
(are ya gonna run?) 
are you gonna run? 
(what're ya gonna do) 
first I'm gonna pray 
(are ya gonna run?) 
you muthafuckin right 

(Chorus) 
First we pray, then we ride 
First we pray, then we ride 

[Kurupt] 
I aint got nuthin but love for you loccs and hogs 
and I ain't got nuthin but love for my muthafuckin dogs 
in the mist of the war zone, its on on site 
daylight tonight the heat held close and tight 
beware here I come with the DPG on my chest 
heat gonna spit like Elliot Ness 
in the darkest zone you feel alone and on your own 
and after I bust, niggaz call me Kurupt Coleone 
all I'm about is money, loot and cash 
homeys in the DPG Nate, Snoop and Daz 
now with these emotions how you approach yourself 
knowin you
