[Intro: Monsters of Folk]

Dear God, I'm tryin' hard to reach you

Dear God, I see your face in all I do

Sometimes it's so hard to believe in


[Verse: Logic]

Dear God, I think it's time we had a conversation

These lonely nights is getting to me so my mind is racin'

I think about this life I live and all the shit I'm facin'

More secrets in my mind than a Freemason

I get lonely at times, and then I write these rhymes

I'm only human, I want to hit the club and fuck a dime

But I know that's not the answer to my problems

Lord help me solve them, disintegrate and dissolve 'em

Layin' in bed with a girl I'm pretty sure is my next

Contemplating the sex while I think about my ex

Am I wrong? Yeah

Dear God, am I wrong? Uh (Dear God)

Dear God, tell me, am I wrong?

For livin' the life of a king surrounded by these pawns

Fans telling me I'm the greatest but I never hear 'em

'Cause I ain't hit the pinnacle, yeah, I'm still persevering

Demons whispering in my ears, but no, I never fear 'em

People thinking they on his level they ain't even near 'em

I just want to spread positivity through lyrical ability

They call it selling out but I just call it versatility, yeah

It's my life, my wrongs, and my rights

My battle, my songs, and my fights

Now everybody wanna come around?

Tell me where was you last year when a brother was down?

Not a single one of you motherfuckers believed in the brand

Extended a hand, and now you wanna be my man?

I think not, you quick to shape shift like ink blots

The real Dilla, we cut classic, no fitters

What about the time I was nine and my mama almost murdered me?

Don't think I forgot that shit, it still burdens me

Her bare hands tight around my throat

"I can't breathe" I screamed, "I can't breathe, Mama

Don't you want me, Mama? Don't you love me, Mama?" What the fuck

Where was you then, God? Tell me now

How's a brother supposed to stay sane? Tell me how

Why you let me live but let another die?

Why you dry my tears but let another cry? Gotta know

Set to detonate, I gotta blow, that shit fo' sho

I used to wonder why in the hell you would make me suffer

But now in the end I understand that it made me tougher


[Outro: Logic]

I get up when I'm down, had enough, almost drowned

When shit rough, I get tough and when I'm beaten to the ground

I get up, yeah

I get up, yeah, yeah

I get up when I'm down, had enough, almost drowned

When shit rough, I get tough and when I'm beaten to the ground

I get up, yeah

I get up, I get up

Get up
