[Intro:"Daniel" and Brandon/Rep]

(Dialing)

"Let me see what this dude is doing right here

Come on dude, Pick up, please pick up"

Hello?

"Yeah, uh is Brandon, The Rep there?"

Yeah, you got him what's up?

"Hey, it's Daniel homie, whats going on man, how you been?"

Ah, Daniel whats going on man, its been a minute bro, aye where you at?

"I'm just driving to work bro, I got some stuff I wanna talk to you about"

Ok man

"Man I don't even know how to say this"

Go ahead, just say it

Daniel:

If I say something please don't take me the wrong way

The Rep:

Alright

Daniel:

But my stomach hurts, I can't eat, and I lost weight

The Rep:

Yeah

Daniel:

I got drunk at church, took 5 deacons to walk straight

Never showed up to work and she thinks I'm leaving my job late

The Rep:

Aw man

Daniel:

Okay, shoot, I won't lie, I keep abusing my wife

By the way man, dang, she thinks you music is tight

The Rep:

Thanks man

Daniel:

I'm trying to stay alive, I think I'm losing this fight

My son's watching, feels like I'm reproducing this twice

The other day, he asked me why momma is always crying

And why she keep hitting me, and screaming she caught me lying

The Rep:

Dang

Daniel:

All I keep thinking man, is what kind of father I am

And damn, couldn't straighten this out if I bought a iron

I know you said you got problems just like me "I do"

I don't see you trying to sip on these bottles and light weed

The Rep

*sigh*

Daniel:

The Bible's a light read from the way that you make it sound

But I read it and fall asleep, when I wake up it's on the ground

The Rep

I feel you, I said Imma pray, and I will too

I admit its hard not to lust when she's real cute

Daniel:

Oh so you must be saying you know what it's like to cheat

Emptying all your pockets so no one can find receipts

The Rep:

I've been married for nine years

Carried and cried tears

Buried in blind fear

Stared in the side mirror

Like I should just die here

My life ain't a storybook

Fairies don't fly here

I barely could climb stairs

Was so afraid of the height

Too embarrassed to try fear

Didn't care if it got weird

If there was a God, Where?

Apparently, he just like my parents, he's not here

So where is he? Like chasing a carrot that disappeared

Now where were we? Oh yeah, I never had an affair

But a pair of leaves couldn't cover what all of my thoughts could bare

Daniel:

Dang, I just figured you had it all figured out?

The Rep:

Shoot, I wish I did, my castle is just a house

Daniel:

So tell me how you made it this far?

The Rep:

I waited on God, and when all of my patience was gone

I waited some more

I used to hide my face in the dark cause I hate what I saw

But still had all God's promises taped to my door

And then I'd look up to Heaven and say to the Lord

With tears on my cheek

You said to praise you so I'm raising my arms

But inside I feel like I hate you. What's taking so long?

And you just left me surrounded by these angels with horns

Daniel:

Wow that's exactly how I feel right now

They pull me over when I'm driving with my tail lights out

But what hurts worse is

They got me coming out of church service

It's like I swear man, every time it works perfect

But you say he's the author and the artist

Walking in the garden

Well, it's the rocks that where my heart is

A monster in the closet

I'm lost in my apartment

A martian In a starship

Nauseous feeling carsick

No oxygen, lethargic

Boxing till my arms quit

Possibly retarded

Like the dude who keeps talking to the cartoons

Walking with a shopping cart a block away from Target

The Rep:

Ok, alright

Daniel:

Don't stop me cause I ain't even stuck yet

The Rep:

Aren't you driving man? Slow down!

Daniel:

Honestly, I don't give a, I don't care if I go now

I'm so sick of living I ain't scared to die

It's like look at 9/11 man, but where was God?

His eye on a sparrow? I can barely fly!

The Rep

Homie God is real whether you feel em or don't

Remember how He walked on water while they still in the boat

He told the waves to calm down, be still and they broke

He told a man with no voice be healed and he spoke

He put mud in the eyes and gave sight to the blind

Who put the dove in the sky and gave light when it shines

But we responded with a no thank you

Hung em to a cross and drove a 6 inch nail through both ankles

But God is patient and he's slow to anger

He chose a crown of thorns around his dome

Replaced it for his golden halo

He coulda prayed that God would save Him with 10,000 angels

Daniel:

So why He didn't then?

The Rep:

Because He chose to save you

He took away our punishment

See you and I deserved to die but God loved us

So He punished Him

And now we have been forgiven

If we call upon His name and believe that he is risen

Daniel:

That's real but I don't wanna be a hypocrite

Say I live for God then turn around like skip it

Cause you know I'm gon' sin again

Yeah I used to go church, but things were different then

I ain't smell like hard liquor and some cigarettes

Look, my destination's just a block away

I gotta go

I'll call you later if it's not too late

And say what up to Jesus for me when you stop to pray

Tell him I'll be ready real soon, just not today...

(Car tires Screech)


[Outro: The Rep]
