Dear God 2.0 |
Dear God I’m trying hard to reach you |
Dear God I see your face in all I do Sometimes it’s so hard to believe it… |
But God I know you have your reasons |
(Uh huh) |
They said he’s busy hold the line please |
Call me crazy I thought maybe he could mind read |
Who does the blind lead? |
Show me a sign please |
If everything is made in China are we Chinese? |
And why do haters separate us like we siamese? |
Technology turning the planet into zombies |
Everybody all in everybody’s dirty laundry |
Acid rain earthquakes hurricane tsunamis |
Terrorist crime sprees assaults and robberies |
Cops yellin' stop freeze |
Shoot him before he try to leave |
Air quality so foul I gotta try to breath |
Endangered species |
And we runnin' out of trees |
If I could hold the world in the palm of these |
Hands I would probably do away with these anomalies |
Everybody checkin' for the new award nominee |
Wars and atrocities |
Look at all the poverty |
Ignoring the prophecies |
More beef than broccoli |
Corporate monopoly |
Weak world economy |
Stock market topplin' |
Mad marijuana oxycotton and klonopin |
Everybody out of it? |
Well I’ve been thinkin' about |
And I’ve been breakin' it down |
Without an answer |
I know I’m thinking out loud |
But if you’re lost and around |
Why do we suffer? |
Why do we suffer? |
(Uh huh) |
Yeah… It’s still me one of your biggest fans |
I get off work |
Right back to work again |
I probably need to go ahead and have my head exam |
Look at how they got me on the Def Jam payment plan |
Well I’m in the world of entertainment and |
Trying to keep a singing man sane for the paying fans |
If I don’t make it through the night |
slight change of plans |
Harp strings angel wings and praying hands |
Lord forgive me for my shortcomings |
For going on tour and ignoring the court summons |
All I’m trying to do is live life to the fullest |
They sent my daddy to you in a barrage of bullets |
Why is the world ugly when you made it in your image? |
And why is livin' life such a fight to the finish? |
For this high percentage |
When the sky’s the limit |
A second is a minute every hour’s infinite |
Dear God I’m trying hard to reach you |
Dear God I see your face in all I do Sometimes it’s so hard to believe it. |
