Writing a gospel play Writing a gospel play Writing a gospel play 'Cause that's what the people want Okay Show title "Show Me How to Pray" A spiritual Urban drama Jesus Never fails As long as you keep prayin' Jesus Never fails You think my ass is playin'? Shaneatha! Michelle! I done made some tater salad Come on now, I done put my foot in this Uh-oh, Aunt Patty! I love me some tater salad now And I'm hungry as hiz-ell! Your fast behind ain't hungry for nothin' But a crack rock and a stripper pole, girl Go wash your hands Aunt Patty, only God can judge me And he seems quite impressed So don't come for me! Hahahaha Unless I twirl for you! Chelle, what wrong, baby? You ain't eatin' up your tater salad! Oh, Aunt Patty, how can I eat tater salad When there's no ring on my finger? Michelle, girl, you needa forget about that ring And learn how to drop it like it's hot, hahaha Fix it, Jesus I did everything I was supposed to I stayed in school I kept my legs closed I was faithful And paid my tithes and offering Because Mark 12 and 17 says "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's And to God the things that are God's" God said, Bitch, better have my money right here Girl, if you don't sit down, I'ma pop you in the face With one of my world-famous Patty pies Did somebody say Patty pies? 'Cause I'm hungry as hiz-ell I wore flesh-colored stockings I got a perm Then a wig that I put on top of that perm as a protective style I became a high-powered vice president of a bank But I'm still so, so lonely Oh, baby Rest your head on Aunt Patty bosom When is it my turn to walk into a room and say "I's married now, Miss Celie"? Well Have you prayed? I get down on my Black knees every night! I know what I do down on my Black knees, girl, mm-krr! Well, if you getting down on your knees And the Lord isn't blessing you the way you think He ought to Then Maybe you don't know how to pray (maybe you don't know) Maybe you don't know how to pray (Maybe you don't know how to pray) In times like these (ay, ay, ay) You gotta (do, ooh-hoo-hoo) get down on your knees And ask Him for the words you should say (Ask Him for the words, yeah) And I know you feel like your cousin Shaneatha doin' better than you 'Cause she be out there prostituting herself To all these men who be touching her on the vagina And I know you feel like your cousin Sherae doin' better than you 'Cause she got the money to build herself a chateau in Atlanta But remember Proverbs 31 and 10 says "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her, Christ is far above rubies" So you just keep your knees bent in prayer And the Lord thy God will send you a light-skinned man With no education Who will put you in the split-level mansion of your dreams, Chelle Aunt Patty, all I really want is a ring (ring) Maybe the devil got your ass in a sling (sling, sling) On days like these (days like these) It's like you're trapped on a trapeze And you don't know what these grown man paper-doll characters should sing Slam that piano one mo' goddamn time You know what? Jesus Never fails
