[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Db] _
Dear God, life, [Ab] love, the universe, whatever name you like to [Fm] use.
We ask that you [Ab] allow tonight to be another one of our best shows.
[Db] We're grateful for what we get to do.
Please allow the lights to be perfect, [Ab] the sound to be perfect, and my fingers to hit
all the [Fm] right keys.
I [Db] remember [Ab] writing all these little songs in my notebook, [Db] and now these people hate
to see me.
That's just crazy.
You must [Ab] admit, before that first deal, before those [Fm] hits, Tony and I [Ab] would wrap our arms
around each other backstage, [Fm] and Big Sean would say words [Db] like this.
I didn't understand them.
Mama [Ab] raised me an atheist, which is fine, but [Fm] I now think maybe [Ab] it's more to life than
the things you can [Fm] touch and feel.
To [Db] me, God's just life, and love, it's real.
I'm not an old [Ab] white man in the sky, that's how I used to think about it, but [Fm] it didn't feel right.
[Ab] It's 908, we get incandescent, so [Bbm] we open up our eyes and [Fm] say, [Db] _
amen.
[Ab] For the life, the love, the [Fm] spirit, for _ _ the things my eyes don't see, [Db] _
for [Ab] _ the ones no
longer [Fm] with us, [Db] amen.
_ [Fm] _ Please say [Db] it for me.
Dear Jesus, Allah, [Ab] Krishna, Buddha, whatever name you like to [Fm] say, [Ab] please grant your heavenly
love and sweet peace to [Db] the family of Jessica Jo May.
Six years ago, she wrote me and said [Ab] she was my biggest fan, and she wouldn't go to sleep
if [Fm] I didn't hit her back, so [Ab] I said, thanks, boo.
Go to sleep, you guys fool.
[Bbm] Our friendship started, [Db] but ended too soon, just a child.
She used [Ab] to tweet me every day, draw me little pictures, say [Fm] I hope you feel okay.
I bet she never knew that I was going through some shit.
My family [Bbm] was pissed at me, [Db] and I almost quit on that November night, till [Fm] I saw what she [Ab] tweeted.
Keep making good music, that [Fm] was just what I needed.
You know [Ab] I never even told her thank you, and I don't know [Db] why, cause on August 26th, Jessica died.
I never thought that [Ab] some fan on Twitter would give me a broken heart, [Fm] but Lord, I miss her.
When [Db] you opening the gates up, [Ab] don't forget her.
[Db] You saved me a spot, soon I'll be right there with her.
Amen.
[Ab] Amen.
For the life, the love, the [Fm] spirit.
[Db] Amen.
_ [Fm] For the things my eyes don't [Db] see.
Amen.
[Ab] Amen.
For the ones no longer [Fm] with us.
[Db] Amen.
[Fm] Amen.
Please [Bbm] say a prayer for [Db] me.
Dear Ra, [Ab] Jehovah, [Db] Dow, Rama, [Fm] whichever name that you prefer.
[Bbm] My big sister is a [Db] real light in the world, [Fm] so yes Lord, this is for her.
I used to think she was crazy, [Bbm] all [Db] that hippie shit that she was [Ab] on.
Tying yourself to trees, man I thought it was wrong.
While [Db] I was flying around the world, trying to get [Fm] famous, you volunteered in New Orleans
when the hurricane hit.
[Db] Helping displaced kids, and [Ab] people interview me [Fm] while she remains nameless.
[Db] I didn't always get it, [Ab] you lived in such a bad [Fm] hood that I was afraid to visit.
[Db] But on the side of your crib, [Ab] you started a garden [Fm] for all them little kids, and you
taught them [Db] to grow fruits and veggies for their [Ab] families.
And [Fm] here I am worrying about a Grammy.
I'll [Db] never forget that February night, [Ab] I was in the studio with J.
Cole, they were prepping
the [Db] mic, you hit me with that text saying we needed to [Ab] speak.
I thought you were [Fm] pregnant, I was prepping the speech.
But [Db] it was something different that you had to say.
[Fm] Michael, I'm in love with a woman, I'm gay.
[Db] Searching for the words in my head, [Fm] when I found them, this is what I said.
I just want you [Db] to know, that I [Ab] love you, that's no matter what, mom and dad do too.
And I got your back, this is my last day, and the universe does too.
That's why I say, _
[Db] _ [Ab] Amen.
For the life, the love, [Fm] the spirit, [Db] Amen.
[Fm] Amen.
For the things my eyes [Db] don't see, Amen.
[Ab] Amen.
For the ones no [Fm] longer with us, Amen.
Amen.
Please say a prayer [Db] for me. _
