To the Man
Dear God,
I know that you see
all the trouble that befalls me
I am only just man
Jesus i'm not only so much I can stand
why do I have to follow so many rules
to be happy but I'm like a damn mule
dammit I know you understand
I trying to be the best I can
why must I fall to appreciate
why is always too late
why am I blind but yet see
all the bad things not good for me
I have to go to church on sunday
why, I still gotta see you one day
does that make me unworthy in your eyes
some church people tell truth many more tell lies
i aint the devil so why me
all this bullcrap I gotta see
I wanna do right why can't you help me
look at this temptation right in front of me
if i partake will i be damned
make me feel like sam i am
i pray and pray but its on your time
i want to be happy lord this will you help me find
You gave us free will to make us unique
so many questions to ask your favor we seek
I thank you lord for my life
i aint gonna never find a wife
i know your with me even when I'm alone
pray to you often to make my house a home
I sorry lord for questioning you but thats the kinda mind you gave me
what else am i to do
please forgive my brash undertones
I wanna do right by you lord before my last walk home
You told us to questiion what we dont understand
but one day you will enlighten us to your master plan
I hope I am or i'll be in your graces
I love you lord thank you for the journey called life that we chases
let your will be the plan I'm still not perfect I'm just a man
And when it all has to end
I thank you lord just for being my friend...............
