Sway - Pray 4 Kaya Lyrics






As far as girls go she was my best friend, I go to pick her up but she ain't dressed yet.
I told her that I've cancelled so she ain't prepped yet.
Just so I could surprise you,
Never forget get.
Three days before it happened, we're in the West End.
We're bout to catch a movie, after we just eat.
See we would talk for hours, it's like we just met.
We had a thing before, but now we're just friends.
I told her everything,
She showed me everything,
She told me anything,
I would give anything.
Just to see her smile at me, or just to see her smile at least,
Wake up from her sleep and I expect to see her whine at me.
Because I wasn't there, to tell her not to go into that car that day,
And end up on the road, where that car would crash, but she never lost her soul.
She's in a coma hanging on but she don't wanna go, cause she's a star out here, and yeah she's on a role.
Everybody's praying for her, she ain't on her own.
I just wish that I coulda called her on the phone that day and caused her not to go that day,
And I just wanna know why god would make them, when he knew that he would take 'em young.
Four girls, one died on the scene, her name was patience.
And the rest of them were patient, had everybody pacing up and down the hospital hallways, praying and saying god don't you take them please.

I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay.
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away.
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away.
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray.
I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay.
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away.
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away.
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray.

The next day, a second girl passes away and her face is pasted all over the myspaces to make it worse.
I didn't know her, but I know her name was D-Crystal.
I know your family miss you, and I can't say the words
To describe this whole scenario, how to say it hurts, is an understatement.
Yeah I'm trying to pray but will the prayers work.
Because we prayed for puff, but god still took him.
But I'm a keep on praying, cause gods still looking.

And Kaya's still sleeping, I wanna wake her up.
But gods still peeping he wants to take her up.
One of the few girls I know that really ain't corrupt,
She called her self the queen of clubs, I call her the queen of hearts.
Tryna reassure her friends, but deep inside my heart would brace.
Don't wanna ask her sister questions or look into her fathers face.
Because I knew there could be news that would be hard to take.
After days of hanging on, sadly Kaya past away.

I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay.
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away.
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away.
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray.
I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay.
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away.
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away.
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray.

If you got a bit of fire in you, listen.
That means you've got a bit of Kaya in you.
You need to use it to search for something for something higher in you.
And you need to realise there's something higher then you.
If you aim for the stars, they'll start admiring you.
And life's to short to live without the fighter in you.
Prayer moves mountains, so hold up your hands.
Prayer can change your life, but not gods plans.

So I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay.
I wish I had the powers, to take the pain away.
Wipe away the tears, and take the rain away.
Wanna be together forever so I get down and pray.

Cause I don't wanna leave, but they won't let me stay.
I really wanna breath but any day could be the day.
When it's your time to go, it's your time to go.
So live your life like you know,
Get on your knees and pray.

  30. T.... B....

    Sway is a grime artist and a main part of the grime scene, but i agree with you though.

  31. T.... B....

    OMG! WTF?!

  32. b.... w....

    this is the sort of song to make many people think about how lucky you are to live and have the people you have, Sway is an inspirational artist who should be known unlike some of the main rappers in the world being able to transport a message to you through lyrics

  40. L.... �....

    Arguably one of the best lyricists out there. Not just this song but all of his tracks are incredibly well written. And I don't know how big he is in the UK but in the US pretty much no one knows him

  42. M.... ....

    Decent artist out there now and still underrated..smh. Respect, my favorite tune from you

  43. L.... ....

  50. n.... ....

    this song makes me wanna strip naked, burst out of my window, free fall 28 floors, faceplant in the snow, make a snow angel mixed with my own blood, shiver from the cold, get hyperthermia, DIE, go to the pearly gates, say wuzzup to Jesus, do our secret hand shake, look for buddha, find him, have him reincarnate me into a frog with shades, meet a princess, kiss her, turn into a prince, order my subject to bring me a computer, listen to this song again, and cry myself to sleep

  51. m.... ....

    very nice song but is there an instrumental for this?

  52. c.... ....

    lil wayne is rich n famous..... n sway isnt?

  56. L.... ....

    "I don't wanna leave, but they don't let me stay"
