Lil Wayne’s “Pray to the Lord” Gets Mastered CDQ Treatment

Over the past few months, Streetrunner has been steadily blessing old Lil Wayne cuts with the CDQ treatment. Today (June 30), the Miami producer drops the mastered version of "Pray to the Lord," a track that originally landed on Weezy F. Baby's 2007 mixtape, The Drought Is Over 3.

The "Pray to the Lord" CDQ should be an exciting release for diehard Wayne fans. When the record initially dropped, Weezy's self-proclaimed "best rapper alive" status was hard to  argue.

Over the lush, piano-laced production, Wayne spits, "I wrote my will just the other week/It was funny, it was only one sheet/And I know there's only one me/But I hope I am everything my son be/I'm trying to live right, stay on the drum beat/But I'm in the fast lane, in the front seat/I wonder will I lose control of the Maserati?/And hit some tree, just being young me/Is there a heaven for G's and soldiers?/I can't go to hell, cause I'd take over/I feel it approaching but I ain't scared/I made that bed and I should rest in peace."

On verse three, he raps, "Bury me a gangsta cause that's what I live/Don't cry for me I gave the best I could give/I can only do me, so that's what I did/And I cherish every breath of my kid/And I don't wanna go before she grow, that ain't cool/But in this game of life, I don't make the rules/Shit, so that's why I get twisted/So I can't feel it when it hits me/And my moms don't need that on her/But I see death around the corner/And if he, so happens to make his way around the block/You gotta answer the door when he knock, believe that."

You can listen to the CDQ version of "Pray to the Lord" above via Streetrunner's SoundCloud. Keep it locked to XXL for more Throwback Thursday releases from Streetrunner.
