1. Hey, God, I‘m just a little man, I got a wife and a family,

we‘re two paychecks away from living out on the streets.

2. She‘s a workin‘ single mom, like a saint she don‘t complain,

C

she never says a word but she thinks that she‘s to blame,

G

her son just got convicted, he blew some cop away,

Bb

she did her best to raise him, but the world got in the way.

D C

Hey, God, tell me. what the hell is goin‘ on,

G

it seems like all the good shit‘s gone,

D

it keeps on gettin‘ harder hangin‘ on.

D C

But hey, hey, hey, hey, God, there‘s nights you know I want to scream,

G

these days you‘re even harder to believe.

Bb

I know how busy you must be,

G D - C

but hey, hey, hey, hey, God, do you ever think about me ?

D

3. Born into the ghetto in 1991,

a vacant lot‘s his playground, by twelve he‘s got a gun,

Bb

the odds are bet against him, junior don‘t make twenty-one.

Hey, God, tell me. what the hell is goin‘ on,
