Dahlia - Amen

Dear Lord
Do you hear me
I’m desperate
I’m in need
I Got some things that’s on my chest
And I’m having trouble tryna breathe
I really think I need some answers
And You’re the only one who got em
You made the world we live in
It’s only right to think you got us
I wanna tell you that I’m thankful
For the ways that you provide
But I wanna know why give us life
If we only livin it to die?
Why you takin away our friends?
Why you takin away our Moms?
Why you takin away our fathers
when they gotta raise our sons?
It’s Confusion everyday
My People dying left and right
We down here fearing for our children
It’s so hard to sleep at night
Can’t find no moments of peace
And The law just takes away our rights
So we’re just in these streets
Doing what we have to to survive
Nobody sticks together
It’s like all we know is to divide
And when we feel this pressure
We just pray up towards the sky
Hoping things will change
I just wanna wipe my mommaz eyes
Thinking if I get to fame
Than it could probably change our lives
Lord I’m really losing faith
I’ll do whatever for a sign
I need to know you’re really with us
Not just a thought that’s in my mind
I wanna feel your presence
I wanna feel you through the grind
I wanna know you really got me
When you decide that it’s my time
I know they say don’t question you
Just trust the way you move
But I’m losing everyone I love
So that’s a hard thing to do
If it’s written how we go
I wanna know how you choose
How children dying before they parents
This ain’t right
I’m confused
Only death is promised to us
So I f we win we still lose
Unless there really is a heaven
That we can look forward to
So if this is hell right here on Earth
Than tell me what did we do?
They gonna judge me for this prayer
But I’m just speaking my truth
Amen
