[00:00.00]Praying Man (Album Version|Explicit) - Big K.R.I.T./B.B. King
[00:25.38]Guess I was on road
[00:28.42]Didn't know which way to go
[00:30.84]I think I hear a praying man coming
[00:34.63]A praying man coming
[00:37.64]Sometimes I couldn't read the signs
[00:41.09]My people done left me behind
[00:43.66]I think I hear a praying man coming
[00:49.96]I think I hear a praying man coming
[00:52.40]Stumble along the path,
[00:54.10]He emerged from the grass
[00:55.80]Stopped at me and asked why so sad
[00:58.15]Perhaps because they had taken what I had
[01:00.51]I'm sure it wasn't much to
[01:01.68]Them but it was all that I could grab
[01:03.65]I was on my way to church,
[01:05.24]I was running late at first
[01:06.89]But after all this riff raff here,
[01:08.45]I missed service and it hurts
[01:10.05]But what's worse I'm not sure how long
[01:11.72]I've been swaying in the breeze
[01:13.33]Tired of talking to the trees and
[01:14.53]You the first praying man that I've seen
[01:16.60]I feed you lending hand,
[01:18.12]But I see if you got some time
[01:19.87]I'm glad you looked up
[01:21.03]Because most people pay no mind
[01:23.08]He smiled and said"Son well,
[01:24.30]I can do you one better"
[01:26.19]You removed a pocket knife and
[01:27.44]Cut me down from my oppressor, forever
[01:29.81]Guess I was on road
[01:32.81]Didn't know which way to go
[01:35.14]I think I hear a praying man coming
[01:39.09]A praying man coming
[01:42.12]Sometimes I couldn't read the signs
[01:45.57]My people done left me behind
[01:48.12]I think I hear a praying man coming
[01:54.38]I think I hear a praying man coming
[01:57.05]Boating along the sea,
[01:58.40]He emerged from the mist
[02:00.23]Asked me how I got far from the beach
[02:02.51]Cause they stripped me of my pride
[02:03.79]And put these shackles on my feet
[02:05.69]I was stacked on top of my folk
[02:07.13]And it was really hard to breathe
[02:08.64]It was a little hard to believe that
[02:10.41]I had been caught up in this mess
[02:12.26]And some of my own
[02:13.15]People would sell me to my death
[02:14.89]It was a lot of us on the ride and
[02:16.91]It was a lot of us that was lost
[02:18.45]But some of us couldn't take
[02:19.55]It so some of us jumped off
[02:22.15]And I'm really glad you found me on your course
[02:24.27]I been out here for a while and
[02:25.83]There's no sign of the shore
[02:27.50]He smiled and said
[02:28.42]"Son well I can do you one better"
[02:30.64]He lended me his hand and
[02:32.04]Picked me up from my oppressor, forever
[02:34.24]Guess I was on road
[02:37.22]Didn't know which way to go
[02:39.62]I think I hear a praying man coming
[02:43.50]A praying man coming
[02:46.49]Sometimes I couldn't read the signs
[02:49.95]My people done left me behind
[02:52.42]I think I hear a praying man coming
[02:58.86]I think I hear a praying man coming
[03:01.36]Driving along the road
[03:02.88]He asked me what I was running from and
[03:04.70]Where I was trying to go
[03:06.05]"Well I was working in the field
[03:07.24]And one of my kinfolk just got killed
[03:08.74]And I knew they'd come for me and
[03:11.09]Lord knows I wanna live
[03:11.86]See I heard there's people free,
[03:13.98]Not that far but far from me
[03:15.62]To be running from these dogs
[03:16.91]With no shoes up on my feet
[03:18.92]I heard of this railroad that ventures underground
[03:21.87]And takes my kind of people
[03:22.88]To a place that we can't be found
[03:24.89]And I been wounded for some miles,
[03:26.99]So I decided to rest my head
[03:28.77]I guess they let me go cause
[03:30.11]They assumed that I was dead"
[03:31.96]Smiled and said
[03:32.74]"Son hop in this wagon and get settled"
[03:35.19]He offered me a ride and drove me
[03:36.81]Far away from my oppressor, forever
[03:38.76]Guess I was on road
[03:41.65]Didn't know which way to go
[03:44.03]I think I hear a praying man coming
[03:47.91]A praying man coming
[03:50.91]Sometimes I couldn't read the signs
[03:54.40]My people done left me behind
[03:56.91]I think I hear a praying man coming
[04:03.32]I think I hear a praying man coming
