Lyrics
Dear God, really hate to bother you
I know that you're really busy, but
Can you take some time to see about me?
Dear God, I know you got things to do
But can I talk to you for a minute or two?
I'm tired of seeing my homies dying
Bullet shells, paramedics, and chalk lines
My friend's mama sell her body to pay the rent
My little cousin doing time, but he's innocent
We sending food and money overseas
To feed the poor, but what about the people next door?
Will you please show mercy on the child that's being abused?
Don't let 'em make the ten o'clock news
My attitude, won't allow me to condone this
What we gon' do about the homeless?
I seek peace, but I'm constantly engaged in conflict
I'm trying hard not to let the gun click
I really wish you find it in your heart to make a change
Hate to bug you, but I'm tired of the pain
Dear God, really hate to bother you
I know that you're really busy, but
Can you take some time to see about me?
(I'm tired of the pain)
People down here are suffering
I know that I'm not an angel, but
Can you take some time to see about me?
(I'm tired of the pain)
Consider about me Father in this wicked land
Man, I'm a believer, so I stick to praying
But when I wanna go outside, mama say don't go
'Cause it ain't safe for the kids to play no mo'
The po-po's put my hands on they hot hood
My relationship with them is not good
Here's the dilemma, Mama's broke, and she need some change
Now should I go to school and slang?
I don't know, help the physician within me, heal myself
For the sake of my family, don't let me kill myself
I know, death is something that we all gotta suffer
But why you had to take my grandmother?
I'm tryna keep my head screwed in a bad mood
If I sound rude, dear God, excuse my attitude
I'm just searching for some answers
Will we ever find a cure for cancer
Dear God, really hate to bother you
I know that you're really busy, but
Can you take some time to see about me?
(I'm tired of the pain)
People down here are suffering
I know that I'm not an angel, but
Can you take some time to see about me?
(I'm tired of the pain)
Can you please take time out to help your boy?
'Cause they down here tryna steal my joy
Was AIDS really a ploy, to destroy the poor?
That's what they sayin', it's hard to fathom, tell me they playin'
'Cause my friend's in the hospital, sick as can be
Fighting for his life against HIV
Now tell me how much longer, can he last with his heart
Beating off life support?
Can I please touch the hem of your garment?
Get on my knees and be cleansed, of the torment
My heart is pure, but I think I'm at the limit
'Cause every time I turn my back I'm getting stabbed in it
Wait a minute, before I end
Dear God, will you tell me why I'm judged by the color of my skin?
If you can, please respond, A-S-A-P
Sincerely, Willie D
Dear God, really hate to bother you
I know that you're really busy, but
Can you take some time to see about me?
(I'm tired of the pain)
People down here are suffering
I know that I'm not an angel, but
Can you take some time to see about me?
(I'm tired of the pain)
Dear God, really hate to bother you (the Lord is my shepherd)
I know that you're really busy, but (I shall not want)
Can you take some time to see about me?
(I'm tired of the pain)
People down here are suffering (the Lord is my shepherd)
I know that I'm not an angel, but (I shall not want)
Can you take some time to see about me?
(I'm tired of the pain)
