Say Your Prayers - GangStarr

So many things will happen that one can't explain 
You find yourself saying "who me"  time and again 
They say what goes around  comes around 
ahun  so think about it while you're messing up clown 
A mother's love and a father's concern 
Here is the reason you should listen and learn 
'Cause quick schemes and fast living can kill ya 
I know how the excitement and danger can thrill ya 
But take it from somebody who knows 
'Cause after all the highs, you're gonna feel all the lows 
This is why knowledge of self is essential 
'Cause if you don't have it, you may simply go mental 
See, life is not a thing to be toyed wit 
'Cause every second, another dream is destroyed wit 
The systematic plan devised to erase us 
And straight to hell is where they're trying to take us 
But never fold and hold back your fears 
Have a strong mind and try to say your prayers
