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 ****ing 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
Ooh Lord, ooh Lord, ooh Lord
