I swear the Lord works in mysterious ways (I swear the Lord)
I swear to God it could've went both ways
Oh the lord, works in mysterious ways
I'm just glad this shit turned out this way, hey
Mama said that prayer will work
And papa said that prayer will work, oh, oh
But how long must I pray 'til it works?
How long must I pray 'til it works?
Because my mind and heart and soul
Is getting so, so, so, tired
Busy searching for the gold
But I know it could be inside me
So many problems I face
Hoping I find my, find my way
Oh, you see the pain in my face
I've been through the worst, through the darkest of days
Oh, I'm at the top, I feel amazin'
Oh, I've been dodging being invaded, ye
I let it calm, inside they hate us
It gets so hard to deny favours
I just saw your call I'll hit you back later, I've been busy
They say that I got the flavour, I'm the business
Really lookin' for the paper, where it is?
I swear the Lord works in mysterious ways (I swear the Lord)
I swear to God it could've went both ways
Oh the Lord, works in mysterious ways
I'm just glad this shit turned out this way, hey
Mama said that prayer will work
And papa said that prayer will work, oh, oh
But how long must I pray 'til it works?
How long must I pray 'til it works?
Because my mind and heart and soul
Is getting so, so, so, tired
Busy searching for the gold
But I know it could be inside me
Yeah, uh
Mama told me 'bout all these things I would face, ah
Run away from people that lie to my face, oh yeah
I stand up tall, don't accept no defeat
'Til this day I know that you're so proud of me
I could never let go of, all that you said to me
I'm good 'cause you was on the floor
Praying every morning that I succeed
I, I'll never let it go (yeah)
Let go of a whole lotta niggas, I'll never sell my soul
Young boy gotta put in that work, got no time for no bullshit
I'd rather know my worth, put it all in the music
I saw your call, I just been busy
I'll hit you back, yeah, please bear with me
Mad that I prayed to be, now it's me
Smile on your face if I'm on your TV, my nigga
Mama said that prayer will work (prayer will work, prayer will work)
But how long must I pray 'til it works? (How long must I? How long must I?)
Because my mind and heart and soul
Is getting so, so, so, tired
Busy searching for the gold
But I know it could be inside me
(Prayer will work, prayer will work)
(How long must I? How long must I?)
I swear the Lord works in mysterious ways (prayer will work, prayer will work)
I know that God works in mysterious ways (how long must I? How long must I)
I know that God works in mysterious ways (prayer will work, prayer will work)
I know that God works in mysterious ways (how long must I? How long must I)
I know that God works in mysterious ways
God works in mysterious ways
Prayer will work
My heart, my mind, my soul
