Wave At God

[Vocal Sample - Pitched Up] "God... Oh God... God..." [Verse - Male singing] Mama said when all else fails just pray When nothing seemed to go my way And every attempt ends up as a fail Down on my luck and out of faith... Eyes closed as I question my fate [Chorus] I'm only just a man, I fail and fall My arms too short, I can't wave at God Tears dried up, I can't wail no more My arms too short, I can't wave at God. I can't wave at God (yeah uh) I can't wave at God... [Verse 2 - Rap] Uh... Going down the checklist, tryna see what I missed Eyes blurry with mist and every turn there's a twist Always something new they never teach, (uh) A drawback, keeping everythin' within arms reach So close yet so far, that girlfriend you'll never kiss Tables keep turnin', you never get to take a seat, Sleepless nights and cold mornings, what fruits did they yield? I'm just another slave picking cotton in the field. Thorns scratchin' my feet, seconds away from defeat. Thought Monday was tough huh—wait til we end the week. Ain't shit sweet, all that dreaming ain't got me zero, zip... Zilch, nada. Just a head that's a mess with stress. Depressed and out of moves, clueless on what's next. When I got my bachelor's I thanked God for the grace, Was he just looking down on me with a grin on his face? Like "oh don't thank me yet". Knowing I'll never win the race... (yeah uh) What you do when everyone says pray for relief But deep down you know you have lost all belief Black community, we thank God even in times of grief. And to question God is to make your blessings brief. Ain't got a God complex just saying God's complex Cause if he's real why give a preacher a gold Rolex Or give that man Creflo Dollar a big ol' jet While a young kid gets cancer on his frontal cortex Oh well, I'm only just a man I guess I'm not worthy My thinking is too worldly, my faith too shakey. So even though I dotted all I's and crossed all the T's Fate is still going to do as it please... [Break] [Vocal Sample - Pitched Up] "God... Oh God... God..." [Talking - Spoken] I guess it's true... man makes plans and God laughs. (damn). Not much of a choice though, we're still here so we have to keep pushing. (yeah) [Bridge ] All these plans I have, they just jokes to him My vision for the future's just a joke to him I could sing, I could cry and scream It don't matter, I'm just a joke to him [Chorus] I'm only just a man, I fail and fall My arms too short, I can't wave at God Tears dried up, I can't wail no more My arms too short, I can't wave at God. I can't wave at God (uh yeah) I can't wave at God Oh I can't wave at God... [Vocal Sample - Pitched Up] "God... Oh God... God..."
