Mike Posner - Amen (KG) lyrics

Dear God, life, love, the universe
Whatever name you like to use
We ask that you allow tonight to be
Another one of our best shows
We're grateful for what we get to do
Please allow the lights to be perfect
The sound to be perfect
And my fingers to hit all the right keys
I remember writing all these little
Songs in my notebook
And now these people pay to see me
That's just crazy, you must admit
Before that first deal, before those hit's
Tone and I would wrap our
Arms around each other backstage
And Big Sean would say words like this
I didn't understand though
Mama raised me a atheist
Which is fine, but I now think maybe it's
More to life than the things
You can touch and feel


To me, God's just life and love, it's real
Not a old white man in the sky
That's how I used to think about it
But it didn't feel right
It's 9: 08, we getting kinda late
So we open up our eyes and say amen (Amen)
For the life, the love, the spirit
Amen (Amen) for the things my eyes don't see
Amen (Amen) for the ones no longer with us
Amen (Amen) please say a prayer for me

Dear Jesus, Allah, Krishna, Buddha
Whatever name you like to say
Please grant your heavenly love
And sweet peace
To the family of Jessica Joe May
Six years ago
She wrote me and said she was my biggest fan
And she wouldn't go to sleep if
I didn't hit her back
So I said, "Thanks, boo, go to sleep
You got school"
A friendship started, but ended too soon
Just a child, she used to tweet me every day
Draw me little pictures
Say "I hope you feel okay"
I bet she never knew that I
Was going through some shit
My family was pissed at me and I almost quit
On that November night 'til I
Saw what she tweeted
"Keep making good music
" that was just what I needed
You know I never even told her "Thank you
" and I don't know why
'Cause on August 26th, Jessica died
I never thought that some fan on Twitter
Would give me a broken heart, but Lord
I miss her when you opening the gates up
Don't forget her and save me a spot soon
I'll be right there with her
Amen (Amen, amen)
For the life, the love, the spirit
Amen (Amen) for the things my eyes don't see
Amen (Amen) for the ones no longer with us
Amen (Amen) please say a prayer for me

Dear Ra, Jehova, Dao, Brahma
Whichever name that you prefer
My big sister is a real light in the world
So yes, Lord, this is for her
I used to think she was crazy
All that hippie shit that she was on
Tying yourself to trees, man
I thought it was wrong
While I was flying 'round the
World tryna get famous
You volunteered in New Orleans
When the hurricane hit
Helping displaced kids
And people interview me while
She remains nameless
Hmm, I didn't always get it
You lived in such a bad hood
That I was 'fraid to visit
Uh, but on the side of your crib
You started a garden for all them little kids
And you taught 'em to grow fruit's
And veggies for they families
And here I am, worrying about a GRAMMY
I'll never forget that February night
I was in the studio with J cole
They were prepping the mic
You hit me with that text
Saying we needed to speak
I thought you were pregnant
I was prepping a speech
But it was something different that
You had to say
Michael, I'm in love with a woman, I'm gay
Searching for the words in my head
When I found 'em, this is what I said
"I just want you to know that I love you
That's no matter what, Mom and Dad do too
And I got your back until my last day
And the universe does too, " that's why I say
Amen (Amen)
For the life, the love, the spirit
Amen (Amen) for the things my eyes don't see
Amen (Amen) for the ones no longer with us
Amen (Amen) please say a prayer for me
