[Verse 1] Late night Tears on the phone screen Scrolling through pain like a broke dream You say, "God, you sure you still know me?" 'Cause the rent due And the past still haunt you Court dates circled in red ink Whole block sayin' you gon' sink But every time you look up, eyes wet You ain't talkin' to the stars, that's a real text He read every word you don't speak He been in that project stairwell all week [Chorus] God knows your pain God seen your struggle God hears your cry Right there in the trouble Most important thing When you look up to the sky Every whisper in the dark God hears your prayer, your prayer, your cry (yeah) [Verse 2] Mom work doubles, you raise your brother Pop locked up, letters to each other You feel cursed, like the block got a hold Tryna turn dirty dollars into gold You say, "If you real, why I'm stuck here?" He say, "I'm the reason that you still here" Car swerved last week, you ain't die That wasn't luck, that was My reply He seen you Knuckles on the table Heard you Beggin' to be stable Every "help me" mumbled on the walk home He was right there when you felt alone (felt alone) [Chorus] God knows your pain God seen your struggle God hears your cry Right there in the trouble Most important thing When you look up to the sky Every whisper in the dark God hears your prayer, your prayer, your cry (oh) [Bridge] From the gutter to the glory He been writin' you a story All those nights you almost died He was standin' by your side So when you think that He silent In the sirens and the violence Close your eyes, breathe, don't lie Say, "You hear me?" feel that reply [Chorus] God knows your pain God seen your struggle God hears your cry Right there in the trouble Most important thing When you look up to the sky Every whisper in the dark God hears your prayer, your prayer, your cry (yeah) Every whisper in the dark God hears your prayer, your prayer, your cry
