Pray For Me Lyrics

Artist: The Weeknd

"Pray For Me," a collaboration between The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar, is featuured on the soundtrack of the Marvel Studios superhero film, "Black Panther." Released in February 2018, the song represents a plea for support and salvation amidst life's battles, both external and internal. It embodies the film's themes of heroism, sacrifice, and the burdens of leadership, while also speaking to the universal human condition. The song delves into the complexities of confronting one's challenges, highliughting the need for heroes and the quest for self-reliance. The Weeknd's verses express a readiness for conflict, symbolizing a perpetual state of struggle, and a longing for someone to save him from himself, emphasizing the internal conflicts that often pose the greatest challenges. Kendrick Lamar's verse amplifies the narrative, addressing societal issues like violence and corruption, and advocating for self-empowerment as a means of overcoming adversity. "Pray For Me" asks poignant questions about who will provide support when one is alone, facing the reality that, in the end, individuals may have to rely on their own strength and convictions. The song concludes on a note of autonomy, suggesting that one must live by their own law when faith wavers. This track is not only a reflection on personal and societal struggles but also a call to action for personal heroism in the face of hardship. It resonates with listeners far beyond its cinematic origins, touching on the innate human search for connection and understanding in a chaotic world.

Pray For Me Lyrics

Pray For Me by The Weeknd

[Intro: The Weeknd]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 1: The Weeknd]
I'm always ready for a war again (A war again)
Go down that road again (That road again)
It's all the same (It's all the same)
I'm always ready to take a life again (That life again)
You know I'll ride again (I'll ride again)
It's all the same (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tell me who's gon' save me from myself
When this life is all I know
Tell me who's gon' save me from this hell
Without you, I'm all alone

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
Who gon' pray for me? (Who gon' pray for me?)
Take my pain for me? (Take my pain for me?)
Save my soul for me? (Save my soul for me?)
'Cause I'm alone, you see ('Cause I'm alone, you see)
If I'm gon' die for you (If I'm gon' die for you)
If I'm gon' kill for you (If I'm gon' kill for you)
Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
I fight the world, I fight you, I fight myself
I fight God, just tell me how many burdens left
I fight pain and hurricanes, today, I wept
I'm tryna fight back tears, flood on my doorsteps
Life a livin' hell, puddles of blood in the streets
Shooters on top of the building, government aid ain't relief
Earthquake, the body dropped, the ground breaks
The poor run with smoke lungs and Scarface
Who need a hero? (Hero)
You need a hero, look in the mirror, there go your hero
Who on the front lines at ground zero? (Hero)
My heart don't skip a beat, even when hard times bumps the needle
Mass destruction and mass corruption, the souls of sufferin' men
Clutchin' on deaf ears again, rapture is comin'
It's all prophecy and if I gotta be
Sacrificed for the greater good, then that's what it gotta be

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
Who gon' pray for me? (Who gon' pray for me?)
Take my pain for me? (Take my pain for me?)
Save my soul for me? (Save my soul for me?)
'Cause I'm alone, you see ('Cause I'm alone, you see)
If I'm gon' die for you (If I'm gon' die for you)
If I'm gon' kill for you (If I'm gon' kill for you)
Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey

[Bridge: The Weeknd]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

[Chorus: The Weeknd]
Who gon' pray for me? (Who gon' pray for me?)
Take my pain for me? (Take my pain for me?)
Save my soul for me? (Save my soul for me?)
'Cause I'm alone, you see ('Cause I'm alone, you see)
If I'm gon' die for you (If I'm gon' die for you)
If I'm gon' kill for you (If I'm gon' kill for you)
Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey

[Outro: Kendrick Lamar & The Weeknd]
Just in case my faith go, I'll live by my own law
I'll live by my own law, I'll live by my own
Just in case my faith go, I'll live by my own law
I'll live by my own law, I'll live by my own
