**[Chorus]**
When you pray, the devil get mad
When you shine, demons react
Your light got them uncomfortable
Now they moving real tactical
Hey, 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]**
Yeah, yeah, yeah
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 names
See, it ain't the person, it's the one inside
Humans get irritated when the light collide
I walk in the room and the atmosphere shifts
Now they uncomfortable, can't deal with the gift
Yeah, I 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, demons react
Your light got them uncomfortable
Now they moving real tactical
Hey, 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
**[Post-Chorus]**
Better ask them who sent you
Better ask them who sent you
If it ain't Jesus, there ain't no love there
If it ain't God, I'm gonna abort it
**[Verse 2]**
I don't wrestle flesh, I see spirits clear
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
No, 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 expose what they tried to hide
That conviction hit, now they full of pride
Now they gossip, now they throwing shade
But I stay prayed up, I ain't never afraid
**[Spoken Outro / Bridge]**
You gotta start asking people
Who sent you?
Who sent you?
Because if it ain't Jesus...
Who sent you?
They sent to destroy
**[Chorus]**
When you pray, the devil get mad
When you shine, demons react
Your light got them uncomfortable
Now they moving real tactical
Hey, 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
**[Outro]**
I rebuke you
I stay prayed up
I stay prayed up
I stay prayed up
Stay prayed up
Oh, oh...
Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray
Stay prayed up, up, up, up...
Your light, don't dim it
Don't dim it, don't dim it, don't dim it
Let it shine
Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray

Sheena Taylor's song is a bold declaration of spiritual warfare and the power of prayer. The lyrics describe how praying and living in God's light provoke opposition from the devil and demonic forces, causing discomfort and tactical attacks. The artist speaks of being covered in the Spirit, having holy oil, and discerning spirits rather than wrestling with people. She encourages believers to stay prayed up, not dim their light, and rebuke anything not sent by Jesus. The song emphasizes that opposition is evidence of being chosen and that prayer brings victory.
