Dear God, life, love, the universe whatever name you like to use
We ask that you allow tonight to be another one of our best show's
We're grateful for what we get to do
Please allow the lights to be perfect
The sound of be perfect
And my fingers to hit all the right keys

I remember writing all these little song's in my notebook
And now this people pay to see me
That shits crazy, you must admit
Before that first deal, before those hits
Tone and I would wrap our arms around each other backstage
And Big Sean would say words like this
I didn't understand 'em
Mama raised me an Atheist
Which is fine but I now think maybe it's
More to life than the things you can touch and feel
To meet God is just life and love it's real
Not a old white man in the sky
Is how I used to think about it but it didn't feel right
It's 9:08, we gettin' kinda late, so we open up our eyes and say

Amen (amen)
For the life, the love, the spirit
Amen (amen)
For the things my eyes don't see
Amen (amen)
For the ones no longer with us
Amen (amen)
Please say a prayer for me

Dear Jesus, Allah, Krishna, Buddha, whatever name you like to say
Please grant your heavenly love and sweet peace to the family of Jessica Jomay
Six years ago she wrote me and said she was my biggest fan
And she wouldn't go to sleep if I didn't hit her back
So I said "thanks boo, go to sleep, you got school"
A friendship started but ended too soon, just a child
She used to Tweet me every day
Draw me little pictures, say "I hope you feel okay"
I bet she never knew that I was goin' through some shit
My family was pissed at me and I almost quit on that November night
'Til I saw what she Tweeted
"Keep making good music," that was just what I needed
You know I never even told her "thank you" and I don't know why
'Cause on August 26, Jessica died
I never thought that some fan on Twitter
Would give me a broken heart, but Lord I miss her
When you opening the gates up, don't forget her
And save me spot, soon I'll be right there with her

Amen (amen)
For the life, the love, the spirit
Amen (amen)
For the things my eyes don't see
Amen (amen)
For the ones no longer with us
Amen (amen)
Please say a prayer for me

Dear Ra, Jehovah, Dao, Bhoma, whichever name that you prefer
My big sister is a real light in the world
So yes, Lord this is for her
I used to think she was crazy
All that hippie shit that she was on
Tying yourself to trees, man I thought it was wrong
While I was flying 'round the world tryna get famous
You volunteered in New Orleans when the hurricane hit
Helping displaced kids, and people interview me while she remains nameless, hmm
I didn't always get it
You lived in such a bad hood that I was 'fraid to visit
Uh, but on the side of your crib
You started a garden for all them little kids 
And you taught them to grow fruits and veggies for they families
And here I am worrying about a Grammy
I'll never forget that February night
I was in the studio with J. Cole, they were prepping the mic
You hit me with the text saying we needed to speak
I thought you were pregnant, I was preppin' a speech
But it was something different that you had to say
"Michael, I'm in love with a woman, I'm gay"
Searching for the words in my head, when I found 'em
This is what I said
"I just want you to know, that I love you
That's no matter what, mom and dad do to
And I got your back until my last day
And the universe does too"
That's why I say

Amen (amen)
For the life, the love, the spirit
Amen (amen)
For the things my eyes don't see
Amen (amen)
For the ones no longer with us
Amen (amen)
Please say a prayer for me
