Lyrics:

You had a fight with your mom and dad last night
You made reservations with no hesitations
To catch the midnight flight
You said I'm through, I'm quitting school
And I'm leaving this place behind
I'm old enough to be on my own
So I've made up in my mind
I'm leaving tonight
The child is leaving tonight

You left home, now you're out here on your own
You play it cool with an ou roam
A man approaches you in a attitude
In the streets all night three piece suit
And says how do you do
His rap was strong and it didn't take long
For him get
Next to you
You should

Pray, if you don't believe, just
Pray, you will receive, you oughta
Pray, God will answer you, you just
Pray, pray, pray, no matter what you do
He will never, never turn you down
He won't turn you down, He won't turn you down

Your heart and mind says he's not the kind
Of person you'd want to know
He has a front and he's on the hunt
For girls who run away from home
He's a devil in disguise with an evil eye
Of a serpent about to strike
You stand hypnotized as you realize
Mother and daddy were right
In a twinkle of an eye, life could pass you by
Tomorrow's not promised to you
So get on your knees and cry Lordy help me please
Show me what to do
You should

Pray, if you don't believe, you just
Pray, you will receive, you oughta
Pray, God will answer you, you just
Pray, pray, pray, no matter what you do
He will never, never turn you down
He won't turn you down, He won't turn you down

You will
Pray, if you don't believe, just
Pray, you will receive
Pray, God will answer you, you just
Pray, pray, pray, what you do
He will never, never turn you down
He won't turn you down, he won't turn you down
