God?
• Written by ZLA
Back packin' over tracks - I'm headed to school,
Headed to edit a piece I just wrote,
Black hood - thick coat,
I note - my surroundings - I'm a fine observer,
Wine and dine with all my rhymes - I'm at the head of table -
Eatin' with fervor,
I'm gettin' closer,
Your bullshit - just pushin' me farther,
I'm known as wise and grown and no - I never had me a father,
I was cold - violent - lookin' for guidance,
I looked at God for answers - every call responded with silence,
I looked at God for answers - every call responded with silence. x4
I hear you breathin' on the other end just let me in to your world,
Let me into your world,
Just let me in,
Let me love,
Let me hate,
Let me fuckin' sin,
Let me - let me - let me into your world. x2
I watch the man unlock the gate - I'm headed to hell,
I'm headed to dead end's in life,
I'm wishin' in red well's,
I'm - lookin' for Sammy,
Hand me your hand with your palms up,
My palms down,
Squeeze tight 'till I bleed life and we compound,
I'm off-sound,
Off-tune,
Off-balance,
My talents like dark rooms - I'm lost in it,
This art's womb - I'm caught in it,
I'm authentic -
Self-made,
Fuck all that compliance,
God looks at me for answers - every call responded with silence.
God looks at me for answers - every call responded with silence. x4
I hear you breathin' on the other end just let me in to your world,
Let me into your world,
Just let me in,
Let me love,
Let me hate,
Let me fuckin' sin,
Let me - let me - let me into your world. x2
I was knockin' loudly - cold outside -
With rain inside my eyes,
Devised a plan to be the man,
I had to focus on my pride,
Alive today cause I was brave,
A slave - I had to fight my way to light,
Music saved my fuckin' life,
I was right - in the wrong,
I was searchin' - for a purpose,
I was drownin' - in the water,
Now I'm treadin' - on the surface,
I was worthless,
Down and out - I'm tyin' my shoe,
Heart was racin' - lost my soul when I was dyin' for you,
I knew -
I was somethin' more than - than everybody labeled me to be,
It seemed to be that I was nothin' more than what I perceived to be -
I bleed to see - my true colours,
All my sisters,
All my brothers,
We all need someone to love us.
