Dear God and Heavenly Father.
00:03
I want to thank you for all the things you do for me.
00:05
I want to ask for guidance and protection.
00:08
In me going in,
00:12
and me coming out.
00:13
Take care of mommy
00:15
and daddy wherever he is.
00:17
Please, God, help me get out of ghetto.
00:20
She's praying to a god who won't talk back
00:33
Her faith is dying to tears aside, she's going off track
00:37
She's praying to a god who won't talk back, won't talk back
00:42
Down on her knees said praying to a god who won't talk back
00:46
Her momma believed that the devil had her dress on
00:58
So she's out on the town tonight, she got her best on
01:05
Her daddy believed that the needle was a highway
01:13
So she powders her nose, she's just looking for direction
01:21
It gets hard to feel the friction under water
01:29
As she's breaking down, she's tearing out the borders
01:34
And too deep to save herself, she takes a pill that seems to help
01:39
Close her eyes, forget she standing at the alter
01:43
She's praying to a god who won't talk back
01:48
Her faith is dying to tears aside, she's going off track
01:52
She's praying to a god who won't talk back, won't talk back
01:57
Down on her knees said praying to a god who won't talk back
02:01
Her momma believed that the devil had her dress on
02:10
So she's out on the town tonight with even less on
02:18
Her daddy believed that the needle was a highway
02:26
So she powders her nose, cause the fire numbs the night pains
02:35
It gets hard to feel the friction under water
02:43
As she's breaking down, she's tearing out the borders
02:49
And too deep to save herself, she takes a pill that seems to help
02:53
Close her eyes, forget she standing at the alter
02:58
She's praying to a god who won't talk back
03:02
Her faith is dying to tears aside, she's going off track
03:07
She's praying to a god who won't talk back, won't talk back
03:12
Down on her knees said praying to a god who won't talk back
03:16
She's praying to a god who won't talk back
03:20
Her faith is dying to tears aside, she's going off track
03:24
She's praying to a god who won't talk back, won't talk back
03:29
Down on her knees said praying to a god who won't talk back
03:33

[English]
Dear God and Heavenly Father.
I want to thank you for all the things you do for me.
I want to ask for guidance and protection.
In me going in,
and me coming out.
Take care of mommy
and daddy wherever he is.
Please, God, help me get out of ghetto.
She's praying to a god who won't talk back
Her faith is dying to tears aside, she's going off track
She's praying to a god who won't talk back, won't talk back
Down on her knees said praying to a god who won't talk back
Her momma believed that the devil had her dress on
So she's out on the town tonight, she got her best on
Her daddy believed that the needle was a highway
So she powders her nose, she's just looking for direction
It gets hard to feel the friction under water
As she's breaking down, she's tearing out the borders
And too deep to save herself, she takes a pill that seems to help
Close her eyes, forget she standing at the alter
She's praying to a god who won't talk back
Her faith is dying to tears aside, she's going off track
She's praying to a god who won't talk back, won't talk back
Down on her knees said praying to a god who won't talk back
Her momma believed that the devil had her dress on
So she's out on the town tonight with even less on
Her daddy believed that the needle was a highway
So she powders her nose, cause the fire numbs the night pains
It gets hard to feel the friction under water
As she's breaking down, she's tearing out the borders
And too deep to save herself, she takes a pill that seems to help
Close her eyes, forget she standing at the alter
She's praying to a god who won't talk back
Her faith is dying to tears aside, she's going off track
She's praying to a god who won't talk back, won't talk back
Down on her knees said praying to a god who won't talk back
She's praying to a god who won't talk back
Her faith is dying to tears aside, she's going off track
She's praying to a god who won't talk back, won't talk back
Down on her knees said praying to a god who won't talk back
