[Verse 1: Phaze Jackson]
Dear lord
Now I won’t say I don’t believe in you
I’ll just be honest I’ma tell you what I see in you
I swear sometimes it’s like your word is so misleading you
Tell us not to be jealous, but you’re a jealous God
It says that in your teachings too
Now I’m so confused
It’s like what you tell us is wrong you just go and do
I’m tryna show and prove I’m worthy of your love
But your actions have me wondering if you’re worthy of us
You took my great grandma and grandpa they ain't have to die
But thou shall not kill so now I’m asking why
If you don’t follow your word it don’t amount to nothing
But all of our lies upon earth amount to repercussions
We might be denied entry up to heavens gates
Just bare with us lord, for heavens sake
It looks like you’re not perfect either
But you’re not burned by this perfect either
It’s like I feel like I’m in hail
You knows what gonna happen feeling like I'm set up to fail
Just when I starting thinking everything is going well
Everything starts crashing down like the foundation on it’s frail
I’m just asking to help me
Sometimes I feel like you resent me
Like everything I do is wrong please don’t exempt me
From feelings of your grace my insides are feeling empty
Just a lost soul looking for an answer
Why you have to give me other grandma cancer
Why’d you take my homies life she could have been a dancer
Why’d that baby die like she took that morning after
Why are other people born retarded
Why can't father act like fathers
Why don’t people stick around
Why are my emotions guarded
I can’t let nobody in see what you started
Why’d my mother have to leave me
Do I not deserve her honor Lord
I guess that I’ll just never know
I got emotions that I try my best to never show
Dreaming of a heaven a place I might never get to go
But as long as you're listening I thought I’d let you know
That this is exactly how I feel you
I hope that you don’t punish me for thing and being real
