lyrics

"Dear Lord"

(Chorus)
I'm tryna see a better day
They tell me God'll lead the way
I tell 'em that I don't pray
He don't wanna hear what I'll say
I'm tryna see a better day
They tell me God'll lead the way
I tell 'em that I don't pray
'Cause he don't wanna hear what I'll say

(Verse 1)
Dear Lord so many suffer no bread or butter
No roof or cover no mothers for comfort
Funerals for brothers olders and youngers
Sisters get smothered by quote unquote lovers
Bullets riddle houses where babies slumber
Slept on the couches now they're 6 under
Why we don't believe in you do you need to wonder?
These killers are seeds of you yet they live longer
The innocent on deathrow, sick kids, with strep throat
The hungry no home abandoned no phone
The sad and alone ones you should care for
You ain't there for 'em it ain't fair for 'em
You're above and show no love
They that plead that you'll come and to them you're numb
The screams from slums fall on deaf eardrums
That's why we doubt you're real where I'm from

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)
Dear Lord so many hungry so many need money
So many waiting on your son's promised re-coming
So many churches costing millions constructing
So many people in pews of them with nothing
So many wars so many gun stores
So many poor folk chalked on floors
So many whores and pimps galore
Each days there's more girls selling it, Lord
Do you even care do you see that we're there
Do you prepare the bombs bursting in air
Why you let them devils give Troy Davis the chair
Why you give cops medals for shooting the scared
Why demand that we do it but don't answer our prayers
Why live by a book full of secrets and layers
That's why so many niggas even doubt that you're here
And I haven't believed in your ass in years

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
Dear Lord you're nonexistent nothing you're mythic
You're really just a remnant from when we were ignorant
The pain that we live with shows so specific
We're alone here and no savior'll visit
So many young niggas I know atheistic
We see what the preachers preach unrealistic
My rounds too smart for that shit it's simplistic
It's only us here anything else forget it
It's up to us to get it in this hole where we're pigeoned
Only man alone can change his conditions
Goals that I know is stack cake to the ceiling
And stay in control and outta them devils prisons
I'm tryna see a better day
They tell me God'll lead the way
I tell 'em that I don't pray
He don't wanna hear what I'll say

(Chorus)
