Amen (KG)

[Verse 1] Dear God, life, love, the universe Whatever name you like to use We ask that you allow tonight to be another one of our best shows We're grateful for what we get to do Please allow the lights to be perfect, the sound to be perfect And my fingers to hit all the right keys I remember writing all these little songs in my notebook And now these people pay to see me That's just crazy, you must admit Before that first deal, before those hits Tone and I would wrap our arms around each other backstage And Big Sean would say words like this I didn't understand though, mama raised me a atheist Which is fine, but I now think maybe it's More to life than the things you can touch and feel To me, God's just life and love, it's real Not a old white man in the sky That's how I used to think about it, but it didn't feel right It's 9:08, we getting kinda late, so we open up our eyes and say [Chorus] Amen (Amen) For the life, the love, the spirit Amen (Amen) For the things my eyes don't see Amen (Amen) For the ones no longer with us Amen (Amen) Please say a prayer for me [Verse 2] Dear Jesus, Allah, Krishna, Buddha Whatever name you like to say Please grant your heavenly love and sweet peace To the family of Jessica Joe May Six years ago, she wrote me and said she was my biggest fan And she wouldn't go to sleep if I didn't hit her back So I said, "Thanks, boo, go to sleep, you got school" A friendship started, but ended too soon Just a child, she used to tweet me every day Draw me little pictures, say "I hope you feel okay" I bet she never knew that I was going through some shit My family was pissed at me and I almost quit On that November night 'til I saw what she tweeted "Keep making good music," that was just what I needed You know I never even told her "Thank you," and I don't know why 'Cause on August 26th, Jessica died I never thought that some fan on Twitter Would give me a broken heart, but Lord, I miss her When you opening the gates up, don't forget her And save me a spot; soon, I'll be right there with her [Chorus] Amen (Amen, amen) For the life, the love, the spirit Amen (Amen) For the things my eyes don't see Amen (Amen) For the ones no longer with us Amen (Amen) Please say a prayer for me [Verse 3] Dear Ra, Jehova, Dao, Brahma Whichever name that you prefer My big sister is a real light in the world So yes, Lord, this is for her I used to think she was crazy All that hippie shit that she was on Tying yourself to trees, man, I thought it was wrong While I was flying 'round the world tryna get famous You volunteered in New Orleans when the hurricane hit Helping displaced kids And people interview me while she remains nameless Hmm, I didn't always get it You lived in such a bad hood that I was 'fraid to visit Uh, but on the side of your crib You started a garden for all them little kids And you taught 'em to grow fruits and veggies for they families And here I am, worrying about a GRAMMY I'll never forget that February night I was in the studio with J. Cole, they were prepping the mic You hit me with that text saying we needed to speak I thought you were pregnant, I was prepping a speech But it was something different that you had to say Michael, I'm in love with a woman, I'm gay Searching for the words in my head When I found 'em, this is what I said "I just want you to know that I love you That's no matter what, Mom and Dad do too And I got your back until my last day And the universe does too," that's why I say [Chorus] Amen (Amen) For the life, the love, the spirit Amen (Amen) For the things my eyes don't see Amen (Amen) For the ones no longer with us Amen (Amen) Please say a prayer for me
