| It don’t matter where you stay at
|
| All it matter’s where you been
|
| I don’t care about your enemies
|
| Just stay open for a friend
|
| They say that life is just a harsh trip
|
| And then it ends
|
| Then I died last winter
|
| The new year was born
|
| And that’s where I begin
|
| What the funk is living one time
|
| I live twenty life times
|
| Falling deep in the abyss
|
| I hit the «God» switch
|
| Hit him on the life line
|
| Sometimes I think that he don’t hear me
|
| Or it Could be bad service
|
| Or I didn’t go to that church service
|
| Listen to that church sermon
|
| Damn
|
| Sometimes I say, «lord, lord, lord
|
| Is anyone there
|
| Please talk to me, talk to me
|
| If you care»
|
| I said, «lord, lord, lord
|
| Is anyone there
|
| Pick up your phone
|
| I feel all alone
|
| Out here»
|
| I said, «lord, lord, lord
|
| Is anyone there
|
| Please talk to me, talk to me
|
| If you care»
|
| I said, «lord, lord, lord
|
| Is anyone there
|
| Pick up your phone
|
| I feel all alone
|
| Out here»
|
| I called on God today
|
| And he said, «call again tomorrow»
|
| It’s not like he was busy
|
| He’s invested in my sorrow
|
| Sometimes I get the answer
|
| And sometimes I get the dial tone
|
| I hit him with the urgent text
|
| But all I see is dots so
|
| I waited and I waited
|
| I been waiting since the age of seventeen
|
| But I decided I wouldn’t be stuck on average
|
| Nothing basic 'bout the boy
|
| Unless you talkin' 'bout my habits
|
| I’m a cigarette smoking lung choking, asthmatic
|
| I been feigning for the booty
|
| All I think about is coochie
|
| What a fucking deadly sin
|
| I know that lusting is a habit
|
| That’s probably why you don’t pick up the phone just when I call you
|
| I needed you today because what the funk is tomorrow
|
| That’s when my momma slapped me
|
| She said, «I know you ain’t happy
|
| But as sure as you is black
|
| And as sure as your hair is nappy
|
| What you think?
|
| He gon' answer all your problems?
|
| And despite these worldly trappings
|
| You was sent down from heaven
|
| So don’t forget your calling»
|
| Yeah I’m calling
|
| — yeah I’m calling
|
| I hope you listen
|
| — I hope you listening
|
| I wanna talk to you, talk to you
|
| If you can hear me
|
| If you can hear me
|
| You can hear me
|
| Show me some signs, signs, signs, signs, signs
|
| Show me some signs, signs, signs, signs, signs
|
| Show me some signs, signs, signs, signs, signs
|
| If you can hear me
|
| Oooh Lord, oooh Lord, Oooh Lord |
