Hey God

Hey, God, I'm just a little man, I got a wife and family

But I almost lost the house, I bought into the dream

We're barely holdin' on, when I'm in way too deep

We're two paychecks away from living out on the streets

She's a workin' single mom, like a saint, she don't complain

She 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

Hey, God, tell me what the hell is going on

It seems like all the good shit's gone

It keeps on getting harder, hanging on

But, hey, hey, hey, hey, God

There's nights you know I want to scream

These days you're even harder to believe

I know how busy you must be

But, hey, hey, hey, hey, God

Do you ever think about me?

Born into the ghetto, 1991

Just a happy child playing 'neath 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 twenty-one

Hey, God, tell me what the hell is going on

It seems like all the good shit's gone

It keeps on getting harder, hanging on

But, hey, hey, hey, hey, God

There's nights you know I want to scream

These days you're even harder to believe

I know how busy you must be

But, hey, hey, hey, hey, God

Do you ever think about me?

I get down on my knees

I'm gonna try this thing your way

I've 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, I got something to say

Hey, God, tell me what the hell is going on

It seems like all the good shit's gone

It keeps on getting harder, hanging on

But, hey, hey, hey, hey, God

There's nights you know I want to scream

These days you're even harder to believe

I know how busy you must be

But, hey, hey, hey, hey, God

Do you ever think about me?

Do you ever think about me?

Oh, hey, God, hey, God, think about me?

Do you ever think about me?

Hey, God, hey, God, hey, God, think about me?
