Love this! #2018 We Gotta Pray.

I'm hearing this song for the first time just now. Man this is powerful.

Intro]
We gotta pray
We gotta pray

[Verse 1]
We gotta pray, pray for the world tonight
We gotta save, somebody save somebody tonight
Fire in the air, what the Hell goin' on?
Sirens everywhere, singin' that street song
Violence everywhere, barely holdin' on

[Refrain]
What the Hell goin' on? Do you know who you are?
Do you know who we are?

[Chorus]
We, we're extraordinary people
Livin' an ordinary life, one extraordinary question
Are we gonna run or fight?
So we gotta pray

[Verse 2]
Pray for the love tonight
End of the day, pray for another try
Smoke is in the sky, what the Hell goin' on?
Bullets gonna fly, hot right from the gun
Tryin' not to cry, barely holdin' on

Refrain]

[Chorus]
We, we're extraordinary people
Livin' an ordinary life, one extraordinary question
Are we gonna live or die?
So we gotta pray

[Outro]
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray
We gotta pray

The beginning of this sounds exactly like Soul II Soul's "Back to Life"

Back to life, back to reality

Funny how catchy songs that don't really have a good messages have more views than a song with a real message!

After hearing about the Paris attacks yesterday , I needed to listen to this song . You are one of the only few popular artists today who speak of the cruel things that goes on in this world and the need for equality .

We gotta pray... for Paris <3

The same story keep repeating itself with no end in sight.

I believe we are ALL equal. However not every race is portrayed in this video. Is that racism? Anglo Saxons are discriminated against everyday but it doesn't make the local news.

Redemption song - Bob Marley

Song Lyrics

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;

Sold I to the merchant ships,

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pit.

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the Almighty.

We forward in this generation

Triumphantly.

Won`t you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

`Cause all I ever have:

Redemption songs,

Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;

None but ourselves can free our minds.

Have no fear for atomic energy,

`Cause none of them can stop the time.

How long shall they kill our prophets,

While we stand aside and look? Ooh!

Some say it`s just a part of it:

We`ve got to fulfill the Book.

Won`t you help to sing

These songs of freedom?

`Cause all I ever have:

Redemption songs,

Redemption songs,

Redemption songs.

---

/Guitar break/

---

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;

None but ourselves can free our mind.

Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,

`Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.

How long shall they kill our prophets,

While we stand aside and look?

Yes, some say it`s just a part of it:

We`ve got to fulfill the book.

Won`t you have to sing

These songs of freedom? -

`Cause all I ever had:

Redemption songs -

All I ever had:

Redemption songs:

These songs of freedom,

Songs of freedom.  Amen. Shalom.

I love Alicia Keys. This is a lady with tons of talent, beauty (inward & outward), heart & soul, personality, & style! Keep doing your thing, AK!!!

beautiful <3

Look how when a song about humanity, freedom and justice is made, it has very few views because the government is not behind it. If it was about homosexuality or a Justine peeper song,  it would have had millions of viewers. What a fucked up world!  

♥♥♥♥♥

I love this song

I feel like black should have their own police system and lawyers just like the Indians do and they should have their own communities and not be forced to only get good education if it in a white school.
Also no one of any race should be able to open up store's in their neighborhood unless they are black.
And watch the crime rate then.

Representing the passed, present, and future !!!

I thought that in this place of the United States of America we could be free. And speak our minds. I appalled you for standing up for your Brother. And being there for your mother. Please Keep Standing Up for our people. Thank you.

back to life. back to reality.

wonderful song

Hard to find love in a broken place... Yo right We gotta pray !

Be true...thank you Alicia, I love you!

This should of been released on iTunes, cause I would like to hear this song from time to time when I want...

LOVED YOU SINCE I KEEP FALLING!!  PLEASE CONTINUE BEING WHO YOU ARE!!  SUPER FAN OF YOURS!!

I can't stop listening to this

This is a great song with a great message! We need to pray for justice and equality for all human beings. Let's pray for humanity. 

This question is on disqus.com/home/user/georgegehlbach ( Are they communicating castration , molestation , homosexuality and threatening a child's life ? ) Please read the details ! Thank You . HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Some of these statements and questions are on disqus.com/home/user/georgegehlbach . 12/19/2014 OPEN PUBLIC LETTER TO ALL AMERICANS , SPECIAL ATTENTION TO ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT PEOPLE . Who : Gunther . What : Does the word Grunt mean Gunther in the movie Platoon with Charlie Sheen ? Are they communicating that Gunther ( Shakespearean code ) is trying to frame somebody by leaving , planting evidence and that he will not succeed because the evidence will have DNA ? Is the word Gunther communicated directly and or Shakespearean style in the song Blank space and is Taylor Swift singing , communicating that Gunther was there ( At a crime Scene ) ? Is a YouTube.com/watch?v=w465MHsvYpg approx. 17.04 minutes video from a New York City Police Helicopter taking video of the World Trade Center Attack on 9/11/2001 recording a Police Pilot saying ( They did it ) and then showing the Police Pilot's shoes ? Does Police and Pilot mean Purple and if so , then shoes probably mean ( - - - - ) ? Are they communicating a Government Signature in the Shakespearean code ? Engel , Shummer , Aurora ,Colorado Police Chief are all from New York , is that correct ? Does Base mean Bush in code and is Gunther related to Jeb , Niel , George W Bush and in Gunther possibly friends with a present Manager at Paners Bread Bakery in New Port Richey , Florida by the name of Michelle ? Do you believe if some people want to communicate in an appropriate and legal way ( as in PEACEFUL ) to some or all Government leaders to go back to the drawing ( figure of speech ) and figure out how to defend this country without attacking American Property , 6 and 7 years oid school students ( Newtown , Conn. ) and innocent movie goers ( Colorado ) ? Please communicate to your politicians ! Thank you Disqus , Gretawire and EVERYBODY ! If you and everybody made a copy of these comments along with your own questions and mailed the letter to your Local , State and Federal Politicians , do you believe if you would that you would prevent a crime similar to Newtown , Conn . in Florida and or anywhere else and decrease the sense less domestic enemy behavior because of the greed from money from illegal drugs , The lack of controlling their hate , forcing their illegal drugs into babies , children and women and selling them as prostitutes , and forcing their illegal drugs into Military People so they will make suicidal charges as oppose to retreating to defend and win another time ? If you could have prevented the Sandy Hook Elementry tragedy , I believe you would have . I believe you can stop a similar ( No sense ) tragedy in the future by identifying the problem and asking Politicians what they can do to confrot these domestic enimies before they divide and destroy America ? Please share this information with everybody you know , don't you believe if every American knew the problem . ( Is the problem the Generation of the Purple Gang , Their illegal drugs , their hate , Their sadistic pedifile tendicies and their greed of making the big bucks off of children's - body parts - cadivas ) , that Americans would be able and willing to stop this self ( America ) destructive behavior before its to late ? Are you morally and or legally obligated to communicate these questions to your Politicians ? Do you believe if America is being threaten from a nuclear attack according to the movies The Blue Brothers , Broken Arrow , Breaking Up and Michael ? I believe YOU can stop this possible attack ! Please read the possible location on disqus.com/home/user/georgegehlbach . Thank you Disqus , Gretawire and Everybody . Love , George      HAPPY HOLIDAYS !   georgegehlbachletters.com           gandybridge.com/GeorgeGehlbach    PRAISE BE TO THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY !

I can't seem to get over the ignorance of some of these comments I'm seeing. The main message of this song is that we ... WE as ONE nation need to come together to make a change. Yes , it seems as if she's focus on the black and Palestinians but ultimately they're the ones who are suffering now. You don't hear on the news about any other ethnical background being threatened. I believe the big problem we have here is just acceptance. Whether it's one's religious background, sexual preference, colour of skin or even point of view, it seems that we can't accept it. We believe that one way is greater than the rest and shut down the other possibilities that they could be the same. If this world was more accepting and less ignorant than there would not be so much corruption. So Alicia Keys singing a song like this should not be bringing up so much issues because she is black and white and at the end of the day has a strong Christian faith. As someone who is not that religious , I accept that Alicia Keys is and I will also accept the fact at this point that we need prays not violence and hopefully those prayers will be heard.

A change needs to come over everyone no matter the race. But that change has to be made within ourselves.

how yall going to listen to this song but u fighting online be smart we all need to pray 

Prayer changes things...and people.

I wish I can say that there is no abuse, no hate, no injustice, & no war, but I can't. No matter how safe we are or how protected we are by our own government. The people and government don't always cooperate. Everyone's at fault, the world is messed up and forever will be messed up.

Yes if we all pray and stop training madasses and givng them a hot weopo with which to fully intimidate horass or destroy his neighbors(his brothers and kinsmen) then prayer will work!!! It is not homocide it is fratracide!! Which is the killing of your own brother!!!Stop this disease which is really what it is! The centers for disease control should find a way to stop this most pervasive of all human ills!!!

Jesus is love.

Are Charlie Crist's 2014 campaign TV commercials and You Tube ads in the Shakespearean translation communicating for the driver of a Colorado pick-up truck (R51-3FV ) to commit a similar crime as Sandy Hook Newtown, Conn in Florida ? Are you morally and or legally obligated to read the details on disqus.com/home/user/georgegehlbach HAPPPY HOLIDAYS !

U ask if "would you be mad if police kill your girlfriend" - I would ask anybody..... If u would be mad if ANYBODY was hurting your girlfriend/family member by physically beating her and the police can't get him/them off her by all means and your girl looked like she might be seriously getting hurt, at what point should the cop just walk away? Know the law, NOT your opinion..... Each state is different- People don't understand or know that a human can be killed from a beating.... So if the police use their gun, maybe, just maybe they might be trying to save a life... Your girls or their own... Nobody gives a shit til it hits home... I love when people state "They will handle it their own way" - Oh so now it's good to use deadly force...... But if the Police do, it's different.... Some people can never wake up from ignorance.... It amazes me that the guy laying on the floor ALWAYS has some sort of record of harassing our own people, but yet when he is stopped, we jump on the wrong wagon... Lets keep on voting for the people bringing us down... It's been working great so far...... LOL ROTFF... Black on black crime still is # 1 but yet we don't do anything about it...... Blame everybody else but us... Nobody is protesting in Chicago or Newark.... Why? Oh cuz it's not a white man killing 39 males in a wknd....

We shouldn't pray, we should vote all these crooks out of office; find out who the congressional rep from Ferguson county is and vote his ass out of office; start from the local level and vote all of them out until the highest level official is no longer in power; matter of fact, we need to have fresh blood run for office, maybe a new mayor to appoint a new police chief. Vote or run for office if you want to make change. Praying, protesting and rioting is a waste of time. Unfortunately, this will never happen since minorities are too dumb and disorganized to reform the system through politics. The white majority will always be in power since they vote and run for office and appoint racist police chiefs.

It's too bad that Adam and Eve were abducted by Gray aliens, and seeded this planet through incest. Our Genes are sooo messed up. We have like over 4,000 defects in our genes that baffle scientists. We are aliens and so was the person pretending to be our God, he did NOT create us, as proven in our over 200,000 year old Mitochondrial DNA findings. It took me five years to get to the bottom of this and figure out who did this to us. The results were nothing shocking. According to a 1991 poll, it's possible that up to as many as 3.7 million AMERICANS (alone) may have been abducted. According to statistics, nearly half of those are from the gray almond eye species we refer to as "The Grays."

Of course being abducted means we TOO are aliens. All aliens have primary abilities, like Telepathy, to talk to their own race and other races, and they all have secondary abilities, which would be proprietary per species. God removed our ability of Telepathy in the Tower of babel, and our ability to Remote view in Isaiah 6:8> which included the ability to be privy to any Telepathic message within any vision. We also lost the ability to send visions to others as well.

Gray aliens have the ability to read minds, just how God did all through out the bible.
Gray aliens have the ability to be invisible, just how God did all through out the bible.
Gray aliens have the ability to cause sleep paralysis, just like God did to Adam in Genesis.

And to think that over $10 billion dollars was spent on the Large Hadron Colider, to allegedly get us closer to the beginning of the theory of Evolution. Wow, and I just gave you the answers for free.

So praying is BAD. However you can't prevent Gray aliens from reading your mind, if they are close enough. It's an invasive power unlike Telepathy. God only removed our ability to transmit which is why you hear claims from people that when they get abducted the aliens talk to them through Telepathy. If it's a gray alien, you don't need to transmit Telepathy, he can read your mind before you think about sending it to him.

no paro de verlo es muy bueno y la musica es excelente

When Alicia Keys can't even put out a good track, you know music is down the toilet these days.  What the fuck is this shit?

@*****
Are you a girl?  You sound like one lol.  Who talks like this in 2014?

Oh god, please this a great track , melody and all

U say it samples so many songs, only sing I can think of is " back to life", can u name the other many songs it samples?

@kelvin ehigie
Well it just doesn't sound original overall and I'm not a musical genius.  I'm pretty sure she sampled many tracks because this sounds like a very lazy song she made with no planning or thought.  I'm talking compared to her other songs btw.

@Sarah Epps
uhhhh....

We GOTTA ACT OR DO SOMETHING WTF is Wrong with this world leaving all their fate in the hand of fake God (my opinion).

the world is just full of violence period. good song tho :)

so tired of that bull crap that it was a racial shooting. It wasn't, the officer was charged at by a huge teenager. Maybe i'm alone here but if i was charged at i'd shoot to. Kids of all color get shot all the time a cop killed a little white kid that was waiving around an air soft gun got shot the other day i don't see all sorts of shit about that every day. It's just dumb to think that every black kid that's shot by a white person is racially motivated.

so sick, i tried *instaphamous* and it worked!

" Ferguson with love from Palestine."

Long Live Philistin!

I pray that the people like Alicia Keys who keep pushing this Bullshit message on the behalf of the oppressors, all go out and Kill themselves tonight.  Prayer, is suppose to help you settle your nerves about the following ACTION that needs to be taking be the person doing the praying.  Rich mother fuckers hidding in mansions, telling poor people to pray.  "Ohhhh, that's why the world is fucked up, no one is praying.  This whold time I thought it was because we stand by, afraid to die, letting assholes get away with shit."  Kill you. 

Too bad Alicia Keys didn't speak up for Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente in 2008. What good are these rare gems if we don't stand together?
