On “Pray,” Kendrick Lamar reflects over “the voices of art” and personifies a song by Michael Jackson and a speech by Martin Luther King, Jr., respectively. In each of the first two verses, Lamar mentions two dates that relate to the lives of each man—The Jackson 5’s “ABC” released on February 24, 1970, and MLK delivered his “I Have A Dream” speech on August 28, 1963.

The piano sample comes from a 1979 song called “Say A Prayer” by T-Fire.

Kendrick uses every verse to explore how the media is quick to dismiss an artist’s contributions to society due to their personal shortcomings—he specifically delves into Jackson’s pedophilia accusations and King’s marital infidelity. In the final verse, Kendrick establishes that artists bring meaning to the world regardless of their individual imperfections.

The song was recorded sometime in 2019. Leaked on August 18th, 2020, under the name “Prayer”, however it was only ever titled “Pray” and “Mr. Morale”. Ultimately scrapped due to being leaked along with “Gotta Love Me” and “Somebody.”. Also mistakenly thought to be an original version of “The Heart Part 5”.

Lyrics for the song were present on Tidal for “Mr. Morale” when the song first released before being changed. Zaytop claimed that this was meant to show up on the album as the title track but it was replaced with the version produced by Pharrell.

Show out 
We go out and we ball out hey
And When we ball out 
We go all out and we ball out 
And when we ball out 
We go out and we show out hey
And When we ball out 
We go out and we show out 

Trust me I’m a rockstar
I do shows now 
We go all Out 
When I ball out 
This time next year 
Imma blast off

I go crazy with the bars and the flow now 

But I ain’t indicted 
Do you a flykick 
If you ever sneak around like a side chick


I be in the stu 
making hot food 
And im with Lu

Yk I like to keep hot 
I be in 
all the spots
And I make your panty drop

Now they saying she a hustler she do it all now 
She strut no she don’t walk up in the stores now 
I swear i saw her last week in a tesla 
I can’t believe she getting book in us and awards now 
Oh but then I kinda been knew that she was making moves 
I remember she sang em tunes back in high school
she blew up like fuse 
she in the news,I heard
shes still with Lu

Bad dreams in the night 
But the good ones realize

ALL OUT
