[Verse 1] I seen sweet talk, got sharp teeth Seen a smile hide a snake on the street Seen a friend switch sides real quick Seen a blessing come wrapped in a trick Mama said, “Baby, keep your eyes open” Keep your heart soft, keep your mind chosen 'Cause not every hand that reach out Got your peace when the lights go out [Pre-Chorus] So I watch, then I wait I don't move off bait If it don't line up, I step back If it feel off, I don't chase that [Chorus] That’s why I pray for discernment Pray for discernment Tell me what’s real, Lord Tell me what ain’t for me That’s why I pray for discernment Pray for discernment Keep my feet on truth And my heart still clean [Verse 2] I done learned how a grin can lie How a dark cloud wear a blue sky How a wrong door look real fine Till you walk in and lose your time So I ask for a steady hand Not to miss what I can't understand Give me sight for the hidden plan Give me grace when I can't [Pre-Chorus] So I watch, then I wait I don't move off bait If it don't line up, I step back If it feel off, I don't chase that [Chorus] That’s why I pray for discernment Pray for discernment Tell me what’s real, Lord Tell me what ain’t for me That’s why I pray for discernment Pray for discernment Keep my feet on truth And my heart still clean [Bridge] When the room get loud And my flesh get weak When the good looks close But it don’t speak peace I need wisdom now I need mercy deep I need heaven’s eye On the path for me [Final Chorus] That’s why I pray for discernment Pray for discernment Tell me what’s real, Lord Tell me what ain’t for me That’s why I pray for discernment Pray for discernment Keep my feet on truth And my heart still clean
