HELLO GOD

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
