—INTRO—|

Verse 1:
Hey God I'm just a little man,
got a wife and family,
I almost lost the house I bought into the dream,
We're barely holdin' on,
'n' I'm in way too deep,
We're two paychecks away from livin'out on the streets

Verse 2:
She's a workin' single mom,
like a saint she don't complain,
Never says a word but she thinks that she's to blame,
Her son just got convicted,
he blew some cop away,
She did her best to raise him but the world got in the way
Chorus:
Hey God,
tell me what the hell is goin' on,
seems like all the good ****'s gone,
Keeps on gettin harder hangin' on,
But Hey hey hey hey God,
these nights you know I wanna scream,
these days your even harder to belive,
I know how busy you must be,
But Hey hey hey hey God,
Do you ever think about me?
Verse 3:
Born into the ghetto in 1991,
Just a happy child playin'
Beneath the summer sun,
A vacant lot's his playground,
by 12 he's got a gun,
The odds are bet against him, Junior don't make 21
Chorus:
Hey God,
tell me what the hell is goin' on,
seems like all the good ****'s gone,
Keeps on gettin harder hangin' on,
But Hey hey hey hey God,
these nights you know I wanna scream,
these days your even harder to belive,
I know how busy you must be,
But Hey hey hey hey God,
Do you ever think about me?

Bridge:
I'd get down on my knees,
I'm gonna try this thing your way,
Seen a dying man too proud to beg, spit on his own grave,
Was he too gone to save?
Did you even know his name?
Are you the one to blame?
I got something to say,
Chorus:
Hey God,
tell me what the hell is goin' on,
seems like all the good ****'s gone,
Keeps on gettin harder hangin' on,
But Hey hey hey hey God,
these nights you know I wanna scream,
these days your even harder to belive,
I know how busy you must be,
But Hey hey hey hey God,
Do you ever think about me?
