[00:00.00]The Roots feat. Monsters Of Folk - Dear God 2.0
[00:00.50]
[00:03.72]Dear God, I'm trying hard to reach you
[00:15.49]Dear God, I see your face in all I do
[00:27.26]Sometimes, it's so hard to believe it...
[00:39.11]But God, I know you have your reasons
[00:49.34]
[00:49.89](Uh huh)They said he's busy, hold the line please
[00:53.49]Call me crazy, I thought maybe he could mind read
[00:56.34]Who does the blind lead?
[00:57.71]Show me a sign please
[00:59.28]If everything is made in China, are we Chinese?
[01:02.24]And why do haters separate us like we siamese?
[01:05.06]Technology turning the planet into zombies
[01:07.94]Everybody all in everybody's dirty laundry
[01:10.90]Acid rain, earthquakes, hurricane, tsunamis,
[01:13.79]terrorist, crime sprees, assaults, and robberies
[01:16.80]Cops yelling stop, freeze
[01:18.25]Shoot him before he try to leave
[01:19.66]Air quality so foul, I gotta try to breath
[01:22.85]Endangered species
[01:24.30]And we runnin' out of trees
[01:25.68]
[01:26.18]If I could hold the world in the palm of these
[01:28.59]hands, I would probably do away with these anomalies
[01:31.62]Everybody checking for the new award nominee
[01:34.47]Wars and atrocities
[01:35.92]Look at all the poverty
[01:37.37]Ignoring the prophecies
[01:38.85]More beef than broccoli
[01:40.30]Corporate monopoly
[01:41.78]Weak world economy
[01:43.27]Stock market toppling
[01:44.77]Mad marijuana oxycotton and klonopin
[01:47.60]Everybody out of it?
[01:50.12]
[02:00.06]Well I've been thinking about
[02:03.11]And I've been breaking it down
[02:05.90]Without an answer
[02:11.21]
[02:11.81]I know I'm thinking out loud
[02:14.83]But if you're lost and around
[02:17.73]Why do we suffer?
[02:20.83]Why do we suffer?
[02:24.24]Uh huh,
[02:24.89]Yeah... It's still me, one of your biggest fans
[02:27.87]I get off work
[02:28.93]Right back to work again
[02:30.79]I probably need to go ahead and have my head exam
[02:33.75]Look at how they got me on the Def Jam payment plan
[02:36.82]Well, I'm in the world of entertainment and
[02:39.63]trying to keep a singing man sane for the paying fans
[02:42.61]If I don't make it through the night, slight change of plans
[02:45.65]Harp strings, angel wings, and praying hands
[02:48.70]Lord, forgive me for my shortcomings
[02:51.02]for going on tour and ignoring the court summons
[02:54.28]All I'm trying to do is live life to the fullest
[02:57.04]They sent my daddy to you in a barrage of bullets
[02:59.91]Why is the world ugly when you made it in your image?
[03:02.97]And why is livin' life such a fight to the finish?
[03:05.77]For this high percentage
[03:07.29]When the sky's the limit
[03:08.81]A second is a minute, every hour's infinite
[03:14.61]
[03:15.52]Dear God, I'm trying hard to reach you
[03:27.30]Dear God, I see your face in all I do
[03:39.05]Sometimes, it's so hard to believe it...
[03:49.25]
