Dear God
(专辑: Young Sinatra: Undeniable - 2012)
[Monsters of Folk sample:] 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 in [Logic:] Dear God, I
think it's time we had a
conversation These lonely nights is getting to me so my mind is racing I
think about this life I
live and all the
shit I'm facing More secrets in my mind than a
Freemason I
get lonely at times, and then I
write these rhymes I'm only human, I
want to hit the
club and fuck a
dime But I
know that's not the
answer to my problems Lord help me solve them, disintegrate and dissolve 'em Lying in bed with a
girl I'm pretty sure is my next Contemplating the
sex while I
think about my ex Am I
wrong? Yeah Dear God, am I
wrong? Uh (Dear God) Dear God, tell me, am I
wrong? For living the
life of a
king surrounded by these pawns Fans telling me I'm the
greatest but I
never hear 'em 'Cause I
ain't hit the
pinnacle, yeah, I'm still persevering Demons whispering in my ears, but no, I
never fear them People thinking they on his level they ain't even near him I
just want to spread positivity through lyrical ability They call it selling out but I
just call it versatility Yeah, it's my life, my wrongs, and my rights My battle, my songs, and my fights Now everybody want to come around? Tell me where was you last year when a
brother was down? Not a
single one of you motherfuckers believed in the
brand Extended a
hand, and now you wanna be my man? I
think not, you quick to shape shift like ink blots The
real Dilla, we cut classic, no fitters What about the
time I
was nine and my mama almost murdered me? Don't think I
forgot that shit, it still burdens me Her bare hands tight around my throat "I can't breathe" I
screamed, "I can't breathe, Mama Don't you want me, Mama? Don't you love me, Mama?" What the
fuck Where was you then God? Tell me now How's a
brother supposed to stay sane? Tell me how Why you let me live but let another die? Why you dry my tears but let another cry? Gotta know Set to detonate, I
gotta blow, that shit fo' sho I
used to wonder why in the
hell you would make me suffer But now in the
end I
understand that it made me tougher I
get up when I'm down, had enough, almost drowned When shit rough, I
get tough and when I'm beaten to the
ground I
get up, yeah I
get up, yeah, yeah I
get up when I'm down, had enough, almost drowned When shit rough, I
get tough and when I'm beaten to the
ground I
get up, yeah I
get up, I
get up Get up
