[Verse 1] Right dap in the middle of August No cold, no fever I'm still coughing The weatherman, I predict the rain Things will get better man I predict the pain Cocaine, breathe deep Fighting sleep, couldn't get a wink I need this, I breathe this Trying to dodge and weave this And I cry when you look at me This ain't the way it's supposed to be And god damn it I'm lost How much it's just going to cost For me to get some help
[Bridge] I can't do this by myself I'm crying in the booth Arms tied, ain't nothing I can do I'm through... Pray for me
[Hook 2x] Every little symbol Every little sign (Pray for me) Tells me something different Every single time I won't tell the secret, hard for me to know Give me what I need and I will let it go
[Verse 2] Can you keep a secret? Don't tell nobody I'm back to using, don't tell nobody And God knows, man I need to stop I'm around pills all day it's hard not to pop The feeling, the feeling is slow motion I feel like the ocean, I got the magic potion Man, I got an addiction, man, I'm on a mission Trying to fill this prescription, listen And man I'm in no position, man, I'm a Christian It feels like I went fishing, listen Why I've tried to explain, why I snort this 'caine And fly like a plane Listen
[Bridge] I'm crying in the booth My hands tied ain't nothing I can do Man, I'm through Pray for me
[Hook [2x]
[Verse 3] Marshall quit, why can't I? It's been two weeks, I'ma give it a try Stay out the clubs, stay out the bar It's calling my name (Bizarre, Bizarre) But, I ain't Marshall, I guess I'm just a fean I can't stay clean off them pills and the lean Going through withdrawals, my back's aching Cold sweat, my body shaking What about my girlfriend? What about my daughter? Fuck that, I need two 7-50's and some water Pain pills and a whole lot of liquor I'm fucking up my kidney, I'm killing all my liver
[Bridge] I'm crying in the booth My hands tied ain't nothing I can do Man, I'm through Pray for me Pray for me...
