Dax - Dear God lyrics

I just want to make this clear (Listen)
I am a believer
But sometimes it gets hard (Listen)
My name is Dax (Dear God)

Dear God there's a lot of questions that
I have about the past (Can you hear me?)
And I don't want hear it from a human
You made it so you're the last person that
I'm ever gonna ask
Tell me what's real, tell me what's fake
Why is everything about you a debate? (Why?)
What's the point of love?
Every time I've showed it I was broken and
It's forced me just to only wanna hate
Why's there only one you
But multiple religions? (Why?)
Why does every conversation end
In a division? (Why?)
Why does everybody want to tell
Us how to live
But they won't listen to the same
Damn message that they givin'? (Fuck them)
Tell me how to feel, tell me what's wrong
I tried to call, pick up the phone (Pick up)
I'm on my own
Everybody said you comin' back
Then man why the hell's it takin' so long?

Why do I hurt? (Why?) Why is there pain?
Why does everything good always
Have to change? (Why)
Why does everybody try to profit
Off another man's work
Then destroy it just for monetary gain?
Tell me are you black or are you white?
I don't even really care I just
Really want to know what's right
(I don't care)
They been sayin' one thing but I've
Been lookin' in the book
And it seems like they've been lyin'
For my whole damn life
Tell me where I'm goin'
(Where?) Is it heaven or hell?
I just hope this message greets you well
Had a dream that I was
Walkin' with the devil
Don't remember how it feels
But I swear that I remember the smell
Looked me right into my eye and told
Me everything I wanted could be mine
If I gave up and decided to sell
But I said I'd rather die then get mine
Now I'm here
No fear, one man with a story to tell

Dear God
Where were you when I needed it? When
I fucked up and repeated it?
When they set the bar and I exceeded it?
(Where were you?)
My life is like a book that
They've been judgin' by a cover
But have never took the time
To fuckin' read the shit (Fuck)
I remember tellin' you my goals and my dreams
But you didn't even answer
So I guess you didn't believe in it
I remember sittin' with a gun to my
Head tryna ask you for some help
But I guess you didn't believe in it
I don't want religion
I need that spirituality
I don't want a church
I need people to call a family
I don't wanna tell my sins to another sinner
Just because he's got a robe and
He went to some academy
I don't wanna read it in a book
I wanna hear it from you
Don't wanna learn it in my school
Because they hidin' the truth (Swear)
Don't wanna talk about it to
Another fuckin' human being
And that's only reason that I
Even stepped in this booth

Dear God how do I take this darkness
And turn it into light? (Talk to me)
How do believe in a concept where
I speak to a man
I've never seen with my own two eyes? (How?)
How do I know that religion wasn't made
Just to separate the world and
Create a whole disguise
Just to keep us in these chains
While the rich get richer
And the poor pray to you
And perpetuate a lie?
How do I know this ain't some big joke?
(How?)
How can I have faith when there is no hope?
(How?) how the hell does one man
Have 100 billion dollars
And we still have people on
The street that are broke?
There's a lot of things I wanna talk
About and get off my chest
I can't sleep 'cause the devil
Won't let me rest
I used to know a fuckin' pastor in a church
And I can still hear the screams of
The kids he would fuckin' molest

Dear God do you hear me? (Do you hear me?)
I'm supposed to fear you but
You ain't said shit
So maybe it's you who actually fears me?
I don't know the answer
I just want to see it clearly
So many lies there's a
1000 different theories
All I want to know is
Who really made religion
'Cause I know it wasn't you
But don't nobody believe me
No more lies, no more death
Bring back King, bring back X
Please dear God let their souls rest
Protect who's left and watch their steps
Dear God (Dear God)
I don't want to have to ask you again
I just hope that you know
That I'm still a believer
So I'll end this all by sayin' amen
(It's Dax)
