  • Ey, my momma, my momma, my momma is so tormented
    She been through trauma, more drama, the dawn is gone, it's more tinted
    On this side it gets out of it, how does a prophet who loved God
    As his father slip and then get the bottomless side of it?
    How come an angel gotta be sick in the pancreas like she an atheist?
    Maybe it's the faith that is making this lady
    And crazy has made me this skeptic, next threat is lupus on top of epileptic
    Never rested, psychiatrist forever tested, reverend blessed it
    Brethren, Heaven, Tech is beggin' for effin' X-Mas
    Hopin' momma ain't left an exit
    It better get better quick, how you let her get sick with bread invested?
    In the church every Sunday, I've been searchin' for one way
    Or another, you're gonna have to curse me or burst me with a sunray
    To let me know that you're coming or en route
    I'm 'bout 99, but I need 100% proof!

    [Chorus]
    Show me a God, "Ahh!"
    I'm kinda feelin' that it is a facade!
    Show me a God, "Ahh!"
    And if it is, why ain't he doin' his job?!
    Show me a God, "Ahh!"
    Even if it's a thing, a man, or a broad!
    Show me a God, please!
    Let me know something is listening when I'm down on my knees!

    Where is the passion of Christ? What happened to passin' his life
    For the masses? Bad it ain't happenin' twice
    Cause my mother's stacked in a lab and it's stagnant at nights
    I need your help, and I'm not askin' it nice
    All in life it's been paramedics
    All my life comin' up all I heard "Is there a medic?"
    A youngin', all I could do is stare at it
    Seizure after seizure, if I was you
    Wouldn't never let it be heredit-tary
    If Aar' get it, I swear that it's scary
    Sittin' in a insane asylum
    God or God's ghost, man I aim to find 'em
    To take away all of this angel's pain inside, come rain
    If Momma go, how come I can't deny them?
    And she only 54 in a ward, watchin' her war
    And it's more blood and gore, and she tore cause people are so deceivin'
    And I'm on the floor, cause with nor Lord this war absorbs more poor
    Havin' all the soldiers screamin'

    [Chorus]

    Think of how all the victims of Katrina feelin'
    They need a ceilin', they say that Mother Nature, she the villain
    I plead a million, the bible, I read a billion, still I'm free to see the real
    And my feet are grillin', cause hellish heat is buildin' up
    Think my momma ain't ill enough? It's killin' us
    I will erupt if they're pillin' her false, still ain't no healin' her
    I been searchin' for answers, but I find nothin' but Mansa
    That puts a damper on the current problem at hand, bruh
    Or whatever it is, I will never forgive
    Anybody who take Maudie better get her to live
    She's so sick that it don't matter how much cheddar I give
    To the thing or the lady, here's a letter to his
    Majesty, why ain't you stoppin' these tragedies?
    My mother's glad to be with you, but her life's been a raggedy one
    What's gonna be done? In two thousand and twelve when hell's gonna be
    When the Earth aligns with the sun?

    [Chorus]

    That's why I be lookin' for ghosts
    Somethin' supernatural, only thing I know is supernatural is the rapper
    Maybe if I saw something like that it'd make me change my life or somethin'
    Now let's get into K.O.D Writer/s: AARON YATES, JONAH APPLEBY
