Heavenly Father
Isaiah Rashad Lyrics

Now everybody tellin' me a lie
People around me are not honest with me.

Lordie, give me something for my soul
Asking for spiritual guidance and support from God.

See I don't wanna think of suicide
Suicidal thoughts are troubling.

So please don't take the [?] out my [?]
Asking for protection and guidance against something harmful or unknown.

See I been tired of fucking all these girls
Tired of engaging in meaningless sexual relationships.

And I been tired of spending all my dough
Tired of spending money excessively on temporary, superficial things.

And if I get my story to the world
Contemplating sharing personal struggles and experiences with the world.

I wonder if they'd book me for a show
Curious if others would be interested in hearing his story.

See you can't handle pressure on your own
Individuals need support in challenging situations.

So why you carry boulders by yourself
Questioning why one would try to handle their problems alone.

They stole the story they tell it wrong
Others may misinterpret or misunderstand one's experiences.

And glorify the horror and the rough
Experiences of pain and struggle should not be glamorized.

And mama call me tell me coming home
Mother's concern for her child's well-being.

And I just need some guidance in my steps
Asking for guidance and direction in life.

I know I'm not the only one alone
Acknowledging that others may also feel lonely and isolated.

I know I'm not the only one who felt
Recognizing that others have experienced similar struggles.

Heavenly father why are you so far away
Questioning the distance between himself and God.

I'm praying that I make it 25
Hoping to live past the age of 25.

They be calling [?] for my health
Others may be concerned about his well-being.

I know it's kinda hard to say the drugs
Acknowledging the struggles of addiction.

Because I been having problems with myself
Using drugs to cope with personal struggles.

I been asking questions where the lord?
Questioning the presence and involvement of God in his life.

And they don't give me answers just a check
Finding temporary relief through material possessions.

And they don't know my issues as a child
Others may not understand or be aware of the struggles he faced as a child.

Because I was busy cutting on myself
Engaging in self-harm as a way to cope with emotional pain.

We're hanging from the playground when in rome
Recounting past experiences of reckless behavior.

Until you got a rope up on your neck
Realizing that these actions can lead to dangerous consequences.

And I been losing more than just my mind
Struggling with mental health issues, among other things.

[?]
Unable to determine meaning due to poor audio quality.

And daddy why you call me while you drunk?
Father's alcoholism affects their relationship.

And why you never love me when I need it
Feeling neglected and unloved by family members.

And I don't wanna be like you no more
Striving for a better life and to break the cycle of negative behavior.

And I been tryna cope I'm getting weak
Struggling to cope with life's challenges.

I smoke too much the problems of a 20 something
Smoking as a way to cope with stress and personal struggles.

I drink too often there's liquor pouring from the faucet
Drinking as a way to cope with stress and personal struggles.

You would assume by following the tunes
Assumptions made about him based on his music.

And I'm doomed to die young addicted to dry plum
Feeling that his addiction will lead to an early death.

These bitches ain't shit and pussy is my greatest vice
Engaging in dysfunctional relationships and behaviors.

I love smoking weed, I hate advice
Preferring to cope with his problems on his own, through drug use.

I know some niggas that talk good
Knowing people who appear successful but may not be genuine.

The wise men from a long line of bitch made and bridesmen
Questioning the authenticity of those who seem wise and accomplished.

You never had nothing but fucking dreams
Realizing that aspirations and dreams don't necessarily lead to success or fulfillment.

You just caught up in the hype
Being swept up in trends and popular culture.

The fashion and so it seems the limelight
Acknowledging the superficial aspects of fame and success.

No need for your 2 cents and burning your blueprints
Rejecting others' opinions and ideas for his own life.

These people think I really give a fuck about the shit they give a fuck about
Not caring about superficial or meaningless things that others may care about.

Just need a moment of silence, just close your fucking mouth
Preferring solitude and quiet to noise and conversation.

Infactuated with violence gun in my fucking mouth
Struggling with thoughts of self-harm and violence.

So you don't even know that I'm serious know what im talking 'bout
Feeling misunderstood and alone in his struggles.

So like you got punchlines for days
Commenting on the abundance of superficial and meaningless lyrics in popular music.

So generic your flow
Criticizing the lack of originality in some artists' styles.

Your too cold you're aged
Dismissing others' criticism or opinions as irrelevant and outdated.

And I punch lines for days
Having plenty of lyrics and ideas to convey in his music.

So generic your flow
Criticizing the lack of originality in some artists' styles.

Your too cold you're aged
Dismissing others' criticism or opinions as irrelevant and outdated.

And I'm so misrepresented by niggas that claim trill
Feeling that others misrepresent him and his life experiences for their own gain.

And they souls was never in it
Questioning the authenticity and motives of others.
