D'Angelo - Prayer Lyrics

I love the Lords Prayer. 👼🌸👼🌸👼

Prince got Chaka Khan pregnant and they had a son-Michael D'Angelo Archer
I LOVE this song!!!

Classic...😎

H1961 Haya Haya Most high my creator my savior Isaiah 43:11

Just a great musician. Also one of the beat producers of music ever low key.

Try listening this track sped up to 1.25, especially the end with the guitar solo😎

Who's still listening in 2020,

This grows on you like a mf

If "genre was a person". This man is a breathing genre 🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥. I haven't bumped/ played album for straight four year. it's always gives me chills and sounds new everytime. Thank you D'Angelo , love from 🇿🇦🇿🇦

what an incredible song and album. the guitar solo at the end is so powerful.

very few records from this decade that i still replay

this song brings me to tears

ITS A VIRGINIA THING YOU WOULDNT UNDERSTAND UNLESS YOU FROM VIRGINIA ESPECIALLY IF YOU GREW UP ON THE JAMES RIVER BUT I FEEL YOU BRO

That Church bell. Those claps..💜✨💜😒🎼🎼🎼🎼 2019

The brilliance of Black Messiah is that D'angelo made it for 2019. If you look around, a lot of Black people are Waking up to the fact that we are the true children of Israel. D'Angelo knew the Awakening was just around the corner, listen to 1000 deaths. In that song he says "the moment of truth is near" . The moment of truth he is referring to is the Awakening of the true children of Israel(The Negros).

Israell is a fabrication. Is for Isis(Aset). Ra is for God, the Sun and el is the creator force. Abraham did not exist, just like Jesus who actually Aset's son, HRU, who was born through immaculate conception. The European took this from the Nile Valley.

The Nicene Council, the Nicene Creed, created the Jesus character in 325 by the command of Emperor Constantine. It became the official state God of the Roman Greco world. Before the Nicene Creed the character was known as Serapis.

Now this is human history, not belief.

@j Pat The word "Israel" represents a nation of people who Historically can be identified as the so called Negroes. They gave us religion but never taught us the Bible. The Bible is a compilation of Ancient Text written by the ancestors of the Negroes.

This mans music brings all my emotions out. I dunno wtf it is.. I don't listen to D angelo often because of this..

The "BELL"? omg. Who's idea was that? 😢😢😢

This one's got some stank on it

this is fucking art

how did i just discover this ish? so dope!

That high note he hit so smoothly at 1:45 with the offbeat drumming by the GOAT Questlove and then that almost alien soundeffect in the back with that guitar ughhhh D’ Angelo is the GOAT man HANDZ DOWN

"But you gotta pray all the way 'til you get on.." ❤ YES & even then, you gotta stay prayed up. Sang that D'angelo 🔥🙌

KILLA. WE ALL KNOW THAT. KEEP BUSTING OUT. OWNIT

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i can hear Sam Elliot's song "Everything means nothing to me" in parts of this. Am i trippin ?

This has been the best R&B album of the year EVERY year since it's release. I have yet to hear anything this year that'll top it. But that's just what D'Angelo does....whenever he decides to do it...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you ain't lying I listened to this almost everyday

D'angelo never once lost his soul. He came back even though they tried to make him one thing, and said no, there's a deeper meaning... This prayer I feel it, I know God hears it

This would be D'Angelo's version of Prince's song God.

who is the killer on the guitar???

Marvin d produced the whole album

Wow! I did not know that. It is really an incredible Album.

do the vocals cut out at the beginning or is supposed to be like that?

Gypsyblood777 d did it

Love this!

Dirtiest funk beat I ever heard. I got serious chills down my spine through out the whole song when I saw him live two years ago @ the second coming tour.

His 3 for 3 😌😌

bilal sounds like d'angelo not the other way around. with that being said I am a fan of bilal lol

I have no words for this track right here, my face is scrunched up and I can't stop shaking my head from side to side. Jesus in Heaven.
I can't stop playing it.

It's bothering me that I can't remember where I've heard that sampled loop before. I know I've heard it on a hip hop track, not played by a live band, but still...

my fav song on the album

The best soul truly has no tempo

it's s Virginia thing you wouldn't understand James River niggaz #757 #804

Lol I miss home

I do too but not the Commonwealth laws LOL

+nolva 757 that's why I left. Lol

Me too lol

DOESN'T THAT SYNTH THAT STARTS IT OUT SOUND LIKE THE SYNTH FROM "TUNDRA" BY SQUAREPUSHER?

everyone calls this the weakest track on the album.... i fucking love this one. i havent prayed since i was like 6, but this one touches my soul or something

one of my favs!

How could anyone say this is a weak song? It's so full of emotion and attitude. Damn

@TheVoidIsShining You're buggin.

Lol you lying no one called this the weakest track... This is one of the best.

Yes, quite the opposite. I think it's one the strongest.

Love how he let the beat ride at the end

Gambino

Let's all say a prayer shall we? Let's thank Christ that fabulous music will always be made by leaders like D'Angelo

Finally!! Real creative MUSIC!! One of my favorite ARTIST of all time!

say I if this reminds u of prince

I thought I was only one

He loves Prince, his obsession with writing producing and playing all the instruments on his albums stems from Prince

tania jones I

so glad we still got this man after losing Prince. This gives me a Prince type of vibe. I can't stop playing it lately.

Kelle Carry amen to that

Kelle Carry they were friends who respected each others work.
That's a great thought. :)

Kellie can we say reincarnation of Prince....

i play his songs ever day..cuz it completes me spirtually

Beautiful

Soundtrack to the movement.

This kinda off-beat delayed drum pattern reminds me a little of J Dilla.

ALLCAPSARCHER09 Chris Dave on drums..

Are you certain this track is Daddy and not ?uest? I can't find a song-by-song personnel list anywhere.

They lied potna plz believe it blood diz him at hiz bzt haha 🎃🎃🎃😎😎😎happy Halloween

Quest always said the same thing....he compares them a lot. Not in a competitive way, but the similarities in their respective genius.

i thought it was questo

love this beat

No doubt!

Y es and that guitar strum got a prince feel to it

This here, lets you know what real artist are about! This stuff resonates with your sole and actually moves you to just vibe with the music

he's simply blacktastic!!!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME, DIS NINJA RIGHT HERE IS SICK WIT IT. DAMN!!!!

Happy one year #BlackMessiah anniversary

this album requires/needs many many listens !
keep listening folks

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Super D'Angelo.

a legend ,a massiah, a masterpiece.

I bought this on vinyl as well as CD--had to rock it old school--THIS MAN...... oh my..GOODNESS.

yes, I think I'll have to buy them both too

No, questlove did not play drums on this track. Chris Dave did. Syncopation (the off-beat drumming) is his forte. Source: Black Messiah wikipedia page.

mane... dis sh!t bump'n

Chris Dave is just a beast. He plays so much with so little, grooves like no one else, but can play complex jazz too-with Robert Glasper,

only these bells can bring me to church.

him and kendrick lamar making a song would be magic

FR THO!

Oh hh yea

OldSlyEyes Yass

It would be the purest form...

LOL the drag and lag is real on dis joint!!! Good song!! Gotta learn it on drums!!!

Wow. This record is so good. Listening with open-back reference headphones, (the gentleman's headphone choice), and it's as if i'm hearing music for the first time...

that outro solo is so bad ass

Funky prayer

I thought it was just me love this project by D' it has or sounds like Q'uest Love's hands are in this

halleluYAH!

But you got to pray....all the way....till you get on!

& all this confusion around me. ..give me peace...

Discovering this album has made me so happy, fucking brilliant! I will be buying the vinyl tomorrow =)

Bruh....those claps send shockwaves through my soul!

kingskid1985 You aren't kidding.
I'm about to give myself whiplash.

Why does this remind me of Outkast's Sorry Miss Jackson?

I love it.

Chris Daddy Dave on Drums, classic Questlove post Dilla Influence.

This album is a breath of fresh air

beautiful

This album literally oozes out of the speakers and right into my soul…...

it's crazy how they put a fader on his voice like a DJ is cutting it up.

Vam son

One of my favorites from Black Messiah. This is a gospel song really. I don't know if I am hearing this correctly but I can hear church bell type of sound in the background. 0:35 0:47 1:00 .. 

I feel like the rhythm of the beat and the music is in sync with me breathing... inhaling, exhaling. And his music makes me feel like he's saying- Go love somebody

Love yourself first

I know huh, Axion?  I love it. :)

I lOve it too. It's unique music . I like all the voices

I think this is one of the very few songs on the album where the drums are actually programmed.

Pay close attention to the patterns and you'll notice that they repeat throughout the whole song.

@Bizzy B Nah that's Chris Dave, he's trained himself to think and create parts as if his drums were programmed. He's like the Bruce Lee of drums.

This song is so real

Heavy !

This track is officially endorsed by the Black Atheist of Charleston. Fire from beginning to end!!!

Skips church puts this track on lol

Digging this music all nite !! The beat is so nice!!! Got my vote, album of the year!!!! Powerful!!!!!!!

We have a classic album on our hands..a term used far too freely..

lovin this wholeheartedly...the Most High...One and none other...

Wow I just listen to the blue eye soul girl Morgan jones on here (YouTube) cover the whole Black Messiah album ....I still cant believe the acoustics...

The vocals are so meandering and brilliant. 

my my ... the BELLS!

When I first skimmed through Black Messiah I wasn't sure what to think. But after giving it a full listen through a few minutes ago, I've come to a conclusion: D'Angelo is 3 for 3 with a trio of CLASSICS!

And I can already tell that this is going to be one of those very rare albums, like Voodoo, which just becomes better and more appreciated with the passing of time.

Love this nigga.

This album and To Pimp a Butterfly I will forever cherish.

aaaaaaaaaaaaamen

The Voodoo comparison is spot on my G, i too didnt know how to feel about this album until i gave it couple more listens. just like Voodoo it grew on me

You saw into the future my guy

It sounds even better with headphones...

Phenomenal as usual! 🔥🔥🔥

Good to see people showing this album love. I got tired of seeing people whine on FB posts about how they wanted the "old" D'angelo sound.

Who needs old D'Angelo when you've got this, artists transform be it for the good or bad, D'Angelo for the good

THC anyone?
