In a world where people covet thy neighbor, my auntie said, lock your door, say your prayers

Hold on

So many thoughts in my mind, I don't know if I can

My mama broke down while I was holding her hand

I told Twan to keep faith, doing is part of the plan

But deep down, I don't know if I believe what I'm saying

Hold on

Somebody got to say it, the life of the party

She was everybody's favorite, looking Tonya in the eyes

I could see she couldn't take it

So much pain, all these feelings is strange

All the times the phone rang, and we probably complained

But before she hung up, she repeated her saying, like, lock your doors, say your prayers

You know I had to light it off the stove

Not in the group chat, I just write it from the soul

There's no soup for this cold in my heart

Family get torn apart when the dearly depart

Memories in the dark

OK, where should I start

Hold on

In a world where people covet thy neighbor, my auntie said, lock your door, say your prayers

Hold on

Ameen

What are we going to remind each other

Lock your door, say your prayers, and God bless you
