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
