Show Me A God
Tech N9ne Lyrics

Ey, my momma, my momma, my momma is so tormented
My mother is in extreme mental anguish.

She been through trauma, more drama, the dawn is gone, it's more tinted
She has experienced multiple traumatic events and lost hope for a brighter future.

On this side it gets out of it, how does a prophet who loved God As his father slip and then get the bottomless side of it?
How can someone who believed and spread the word of God suffer and face despair?

How come an angel gotta be sick in the pancreas like she an atheist?
Why would a supposedly divine creature like an angel be afflicted with illness?

Maybe it's the faith that is making this lady And crazy has made me this skeptic, next threat is lupus on top of epileptic
Perhaps her faith in God has brought her more suffering, while my own struggles have made me doubt the existence of a higher power.

Never rested, psychiatrist forever tested, reverend blessed it Brethren, Heaven, Tech is beggin' for effin' X-Mas Hopin' momma ain't left an exit
I have sought help from medical professionals and spiritual leaders, but still crave a miraculous solution to my mother's condition.

It better get better quick, how you let her get sick with bread invested? In the church every Sunday, I've been searchin' for one way
I have invested in faith and prayed fervently at church, but wonder how my mother could still suffer despite these efforts.

Or another, you're gonna have to curse me or burst me with a sunray To let me know that you're coming or en route I'm 'bout 99, but I need 100% proof!
I am reaching a breaking point and need a sign or proof that a deity or divine force exists.

Where is the passion of Christ? What happened to passin' his life For the masses? Bad it ain't happenin' twice Cause my mother's stacked in a lab and it's stagnant at nights
I question the whole concept of Christian sacrifice and wonder why it doesn't seem to be helping my mother's health issues.

I need your help, and I'm not askin' it nice All in life it's been paramedics All my life comin' up all I heard "Is there a medic?"
I am desperate for divine intervention and resent the fact that medical assistance has been the main solution offered in my life so far.

Sittin' in a insane asylum God or God's ghost, man I aim to find 'em To take away all of this angel's pain inside, come rain If Momma go, how come I can't deny them?
I am willing to go to great lengths to find a higher power that can end my mother's suffering, even if it means going to an asylum.

And she only 54 in a ward, watchin' her war And it's more blood and gore, and she tore cause people are so deceivin'
My mother is stuck in a hospital at a relatively young age, witnessing the horrors and deceit of the medical system firsthand.

Think of how all the victims of Katrina feelin' They need a ceilin', they say that Mother Nature, she the villain I plead a million, the bible, I read a billion, still I'm free to see the real And my feet are grillin', cause hellish heat is buildin' up
I am reminded of other instances of natural disaster and wonder why a higher power would allow such suffering to occur. Despite reading religious texts, I am left with more questions than answers.

Think my momma ain't ill enough? It's killin' us I will erupt if they're pillin' her false, still ain't no healin' her I been searchin' for answers, but I find nothin' but Mansa That puts a damper on the current problem at hand, bruh
I am frustrated with the treatment my mother is receiving and feel helpless in the face of her illness. I have searched for solutions but only found more problems.

Or whatever it is, I will never forgive Anybody who take Maudie better get her to live She's so sick that it don't matter how much cheddar I give To the thing or the lady, here's a letter to his
I refuse to forgive anyone who does not do everything in their power to save my mother's life, as she is suffering greatly and money cannot fix the situation.

Majesty, why ain't you stoppin' these tragedies? My mother's glad to be with you, but her life's been a raggedy one What's gonna be done? In two thousand and twelve when hell's gonna be When the Earth aligns with the sun?
I address a higher power and question why they would allow such tragedies to occur, especially given my mother's poor quality of life. I allude to a prophecy about the end of the world and wonder if this is when justice will finally be served.

That's why I be lookin' for ghosts Somethin' supernatural, only thing I know is supernatural is the rapper Maybe if I saw something like that it'd make me change my life or somethin' Now let's get into K.O.D
I am desperate for any evidence of the supernatural to give me hope and faith in something greater. Even a musical artist like Tech N9ne, who has supernatural elements to his persona, might inspire me.

[Chorus] Show me a God, "Ahh!" I'm kinda feelin' that it is a facade! Show me a God, "Ahh!" And if it is, why ain't he doin' his job?! Show me a God, "Ahh!" Even if it's a thing, a man, or a broad! Show me a God, please! Let me know something is listening when I'm down on my knees!
The chorus reiterates the main message of the song: the singer is desperate for some proof of the existence of a higher power that can alleviate the suffering of the singer and his/her mother.
