TALKING2GOD

Lyrics

[Intro] Yeah Aye The other day, I was having a conversation with my dawg And we was talking about religion, we was talking about God and I told him I... I don't conform to religion, I'd just rather have a relationship with God and... You know, sometimes, I have real honest conversations with Him because I have to And I have questions Aye [Verse 1] I don't understand religion (Nah) I believe in You but I feel like religion is solely the aid of division Separation, mask and shame, and I think it's the same vein of an addiction Which is hard for me to admit to the masses, 'cause I grew up as a Christian Holy Ghost, anointing [?] but something never sat right with my spirit So I question the origins of what I was taught See, my mama got deep in the Bible By the time, she had filed for divorce Every Sunday, we going to church And that shit wasn't choice, it was forced Any mistake condemned by the Lord Walking with faith wasn't led, it was coursed I was highly confused in the sermons Every prophecy Pastor put over us end with the action is given by earnest Know the Bible say we should give freely, but how could we give when my pockets is hurting? (How) Single mothers just dig in they purses? Lemme question if this shit was working Especially when we go home to a fridge that is empty and stomaches is turning Which just lead to a child like me yearning (Yearning) For attention, love and affection The success with perfection of writing these verses Now I'm talking to God in confession These questions I'm asking, it's 'cause I'm still learning So when I lay myself down to rest I pulled up a prayer and hope that you heard it Amen [Hook] To the man up in the sky (Sky) Hear me clear and loud (Loud) Swallowing my pride (Pride) Tryna follow You but it's harder to survive All I ask is when (When) All I ask is why Oh, my God To the man up in the sky (Sky) Hear me clear and loud (Loud) Swallowing my pride (Pride) Tryna follow You but it's harder to survive ('Vive) All I ask is when (Aye) All I ask is why Oh, my... [Verse 2] I had some voids that I wanted to fill From attention that I didn't get Putting my mind into things that aren't real Which is hardest for me to admit Spent my whole life constantly seeking acceptance From my family, strangers and friends That's the reason you hearing these records With that pain, I confide in my pen Kendrick Lamar in my eyes, was a savior And Cole, I looked at just like Jesus Everyday was praising Jay Hova And I put all my faith into Yeezus No surprise, they becoming a God in my eyes On a high horse, I'm a believer I'm convicted by words they have written I studied they actions, they mind and they teachings Became obsessed with the path To the point it's oppressing me bad Pressed about write-ups in press, adding pressure to me to the point I'm impressing the mass Whenever I receive less, I'm becoming depressed, maybe anxious and stressed 'bout the bag All cause I wanted the praise that I gave to the saviors I used to project in the past But every dog has its day (Day) And today, I had been humbled Sound of thunder from up in the sky It must've been God, I felt I had fumbled (Damn) He told me "The problem's you searching for God, all this time deep inside and you failed to see That God isn't nothing outside of you Reuben, the God that you'll find's in me" Amen [Hook] To the man up in the sky (Sky) Hear me clear and loud (Loud) Swallowing my pride (Pride) Tryna follow You but it's harder to survive All I ask is when (When) All I ask is why Oh, my God To the man up in the sky (Sky) Hear me clear and loud (Loud) Swallowing my pride (Pride) Tryna follow You but it's harder to survive ('Vive) All I ask is when (Aye) All I ask is why Oh, my...
