It don't matter where you stay at
All it matter's where you been
I don't care about your enemies
It's just take hope for a friend
They say that life is just a harsh trip
And then it ends
Then the die last winter
The new you was born
And that's where I began
What the funk is living one time
I live twenty lifetimes
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
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 dialtone
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
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
I hope you listen
I wanna talk to you, talk to you
If you can hear me
Please 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
