0:04Dear God
0:06I'm trying hard to reach you
0:15Dear God
0:18I see your face in all I do
0:27Sometimes
0:30It's so hard to believe it
0:39But God
0:42I know you have your reasons
0:46(Uh huh)
0:51They said he's
0:52Busy hold the line please
0:53Call me crazy
0:54I thought maybe he could mind read
0:56Who does the blind lead
0:57Show me a sign please
0:59If everything is made in China
1:01Are we Chinese
1:02And why do
1:03Haters separate us like we siamese
1:05Technology turning the planet into zombies
1:08Everybody all in everybody's dirty laundry
1:11Acid rain earthquakes
1:12Hurricane tsunamis
1:13Terrorist crime sprees assaults
1:15And robberies
1:17Cops yellin' stop freeze
1:18Shoot him before he try to leave
1:20Air quality so foul
1:21I gotta try to breath
1:23Endangered species
1:24And we runnin' out of trees
1:26If I could hold the world in the palm of these
1:29Hands I would probably
1:30Do away with these anomalies
1:32Everybody checkin'
1:33For the new award nominee
1:35Wars and atrocities
1:36Look at all the poverty
1:37Ignoring the prophecies
1:38More beef than broccoli
1:40Corporate monopoly
1:41Weak world economy
1:43Stock market topplin'
1:45Mad m*******a oxycotton
1:46And klonopin
1:47Everybody out of it
2:00Well I've been thinkin' about
2:03And I've been breakin' it down
2:06Without an answer
2:12I know I'm thinking out loud
2:14But if you're lost and around
2:18Why do we suffer
2:20Why do we suffer
2:23(Uh huh)
2:24Yeah It's still me one of your biggest fans
2:28I get off work
2:29Right back to work again
2:31I probably need to go
2:32Ahead and have my head exam
2:34Look at how they got me
2:35On the Def Jam payment plan
2:37Well
2:38I'm in the world of entertainment and
2:39Trying to keep a singing man sane
2:41For the paying fans
2:43If I don't make it through the night
2:46Slight change of plans
2:47Harp strings angel wings
2:48And praying hands
2:48Lord forgive me for my shortcomings
2:51For going on tour and ignoring
2:53The court summons
2:54All I'm trying to do is live life to the fullest
2:57They sent my daddy to
2:58You in a barrage of bullets
2:59Why is the world ugly
3:01When you made it in your image
3:03And why is livin'
3:04Life such a fight to the finish
3:06For this high percentage
3:07When the sky's the limit
3:09A second is a minute
3:10Every hour's infinite
3:15Dear God
3:18I'm trying hard to reach you
3:27Dear God
3:29I see your face in all I do
3:39Sometimes
3:42It's so hard to believe it
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 it But God I know you have your reasons (Uh huh) They said he's 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 everybody's 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 m*******a oxycotton And klonopin Everybody out of it Well I've been thinkin' about And I've been breakin' it down Without an answer I know I'm thinking out loud But if you're lost and around Why do we suffer Why do we suffer (Uh huh) Yeah It's 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 I'm in the world of entertainment and Trying to keep a singing man sane For the paying fans If I don't 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 I'm 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 sky's the limit A second is a minute Every hour's infinite 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 it
