[Verse 1]
Golden child, silver spoon in your mouth
You lost your way, downtown in L.A
Care more about clothes, than what you put up your nose
You're never safe, when you do it your way
Aren't you tired, of trying to run?
I know it's easier said than done

[Chorus]
Oh but I can't watch you waste away
All I can do is pray you better
No, oh I can't wish your pain away
All I can do is pray you better
Oh pray, oh pray
Oh pray, just gon' pray you better
Oh pray, oh pray
Oh pray, I'm just gon' pray you better
Yeah, uh

[Verse 2]
You smoke your cigarettes, in a chain
I see the cry for help, that marks your veins
All that talk, and still no change
Got me on my knees, so what is gonna take
I know it ain't like you're having fun
Cause I know it's easier said than done
[Chorus]
Oh but I can't watch you waste away
All I can do is pray you better
No, oh I can't wish your pain away
All I can do is pray you better
Oh pray, oh pray
Oh pray, just gon' pray you better
Oh pray, oh pray
Oh pray, I'm just gon' pray you better
