The Roots – Dear God 20 Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:2 Minute, 2 Second

Dear God, Im trying hard to reach you
Dear God, I see your face in all I do
Sometimes, its so hard to believe it…
But God, I know you have your reasons
Uh huh

They said hes busy hold the line please
Call me crazy, I thought maybe he could mind read
Who does the blind lead?
Show me a sign please
If everything is made in China, are we chinese?

And why do haters separate us like we siamese?
Technology turning the planet into zombies
Everybody all in everybodys dirty laundry
Acid rain, earthquakes, hurricane, tsunamis

Terrorist, crime sprees, assaults, and robberies
Cops yellin stop, freeze
Shoot him before he try to leave
Air quality so foul, I gotta try to breath
Endangered species
And we runnin out of trees

If I could hold the world in the palm of these
Hands, I would probably do away with these anomalies
Everybody checkin for the new award nominee
Wars and atrocities
Look at all the poverty

Ignoring the prophecies
More beef than broccoli
Corporate monopoly
Weak world economy
Stock market topplin
Mad marijuana, oxycotton and klonopin
Everybody out of it?

Well Ive been thinkin about
And Ive been breakin it down
Without an answer

I know Im thinking out loud
But if youre lost and around
Why do we suffer?
Why do we suffer?
Uh huh

Yeah… Its still me, one of your biggest fans
I get off work
Right back to work again
I probably need to go ahead and have my head exam
Look at how they got me on the Def Jam payment plan

Well, Im in the world of entertainment and
Trying to keep a singing man sane for the paying fans
If I dont make it through the night, slight change of plans
Harp strings, angel wings, and praying hands

Lord, forgive me for my shortcomings
For going on tour and ignoring the court summons
All Im trying to do is live life to the fullest
They sent my daddy to you in a barrage of bullets

Why is the world ugly when you made it in your image?
And why is livin life such a fight to the finish?
For this high percentage
When the skys the limit
A second is a minute, every hours infinite

Dear God, Im trying hard to reach you
Dear God, I see your face in all I do
Sometimes, its so hard to believe it.
