Lyrics
Spoken Intro
You ever notice?
Every time you start praying
Things start shifting...
Yeah.
There's no coincidence.
There's warfare, cool.
Because prayer...
Don't just reach heaven.
It disturbs hell.
And when hell gets disturbed, the enemy gets mad.
People start moving funny, energy starts switching...
But don't get it twisted.
That ain't them.
That's what's in them.
So next time it happen
Don't panic.
Just ask Him...
Who sent you?
Chorus
When you pray, the devil get mad
When you shine, the demons reacting
Your light got ‘em uncomfortable
Now they moving real tactical
Yeah, when you pray, the devil get mad
When you rise, they don't know how to act
Better ask them who sent you
If it ain't Jesus, I rebuke you
Verse 1
I’ve been covered in the spirit, I don't move the same
Holy oil on me, I don't play them games
Every time I level up, they start acting strange
But I peep the spirit, I don't call it names
See, it ain't the person, it's the ones I handle
Demons get irritated when I like a lot
I walk in the room and the atmosphere shift
Now they uncomfortable, can't deal with the gift
Yeah, I done seen this before
Smiles in my face, but they spirit at war
Trying to figure out why they don't like me no more
But the anointing expose what they hid at the core
Chorus
When you pray, the devil get mad
When you shine, the demons reacting
Your light, you're looking like, irritate they soul
Now they can't fake it, now it's out of control
Better ask them who sent you
Better ask them who sent you
If it ain't Jesus, ain't no love there
If it ain't God, I'mma board it
Verse 2
I don't wrestle flesh, I see spirits clear
That fake love energy, I don't keep it near
You was cool when I was down full of doubt and fear
Now I walk in power, now you disappear
Nah, that ain't coincidence, that's warfare, that's evidence
When you chosen, it get heavy quick
They don't like what your presence did
See your light exposed what they tried to hide
That conviction hitting, now they full of pride
Now they gossiping, now they throwing shade
But I stay prayed up, I ain't never afraid
You gotta start asking people...
Who sent you?
Who sent you?
‘Cause if it ain't Jesus
Who sent you?
They sent to destroy
Chorus
When you pray, the devil get mad
When you shine, the demons reacting
Your light, you're like ‘em, uncomfortable
Now they moving real tactical
When you pray, the devil get mad
When you rise, they don't know how to act
Better ask them who sent you
If it ain't Jesus, I rebuke you
Stay prayer
Stay prayer
Stay prayer
Stay prayer
Stay prayer
Outro
Who sent you?
‘Cause if it ain't Jesus, ain't no love there
If it ain't God, I'mma board it
Stay prayer
Don't den it
Let it shine
Stay prayer

Meaning & Inspiration
On “When You Pray,” Sheena Taylor frames prayer as a confident response to spiritual opposition. A spoken opening gives way to a recurring sung hook, while later verses and the closing refrain keep returning to persistence in prayer. That repeated structure gives the recording an exhortational, testimony-like feel.
