THE MAN UPSTAIRS

[INTRO]
*Radio Interference*
Oh, Oh...
I just keep on searching for...
I just keep on searching for...

[VERSE 1]
As I search for the answers the universe doesn’t give us by default
I’m slightly confused, as to how a higher power could exist without further proof in front of our eyes
If God is in every man then so is the devil sometimes
You see the tension that is getting higher lately galvanized me into making these thoughts that I’d rather see made by another man
Telеvision set, talking heads, politicking the nеw religion, men discuss up on they couches, with they spouses
Family lunch, dirty looks from my uncles and aunties
My cousins where kids, but not anymore, I love them undoubtedly
See, we had a couple turbulent times, that we got over
Unfortunately, for some of us, we ain't really do that shit sober

[VERSE 2]
My darkest days
The light comes through the window in different angles and different shades
A million hours in turbulent flights
It’s always calmer above the clouds, the bluest of skies, they hide
In front of the most precise eyes
You keep on scanning and searching and you will not find
Greener pastures 
(you'll never find that shit)
They come right after acceptance of your surroundings, asked the pastor
“Mr. preacher man, help me find what I am missing out on?" (please, can somebody help me?)
He told me “Son, the lord is the answer to everything that you’ve been looking for”
I told him “Huh, I don’t know bout that, I believe in a higher power but I don’t think that you’ve got the answers” (not really wit that shit)
I don’t think anybody does
Religion is not a topic I’ve dived too deep inside of for fear of judgement at the hands of others, lately your beliefs are not your own
They say that mind is a computer in that case church is code (church is code)
That everybody follows (everybody follows)
I believe in God and in tomorrow
Don’t believe that we need a church to control it all tho (everybody follows)
Our relationship with God should always be our own (everybody follows)
No matter what religion your in
I believe that we are all our brothers, man we all are our kin (believe)
Se we should, always treat each other like this (everybody follows)
No matter our skin or our beliefs
If heaven is real place, hell is also true, believe

[HOOK]
I must find the truth
Without it I’m nothing, I’m nothing without you
And when my scarecrows are all falling down will you be there for me?
For me?

[NARRATION: Brad Cresswell]
Everybody needs time, it’s what we all looking for
It’s peaceful up in the clouds
When the man upstairs is with you thru it all
Need to calm down your thoughts, calm down your mind
Relax, because everything is going to be alright
I know it may not seem that way sometimes, most of the time
But eventually you will look back and realize
That when the crows are gone and you’re only left with your empty garden
Is when you can finally start picking and planting new seeds
And start over again
Lesson learned, pages turned
And happiness you have earned

[BRIDGE]
And when my scarecrows are all falling down will you be there for me?
For me?

[VERSE 3: Lil Tame]
The other day I felt the dark and heavy presence of the devil
But if devils roam the earth then that’s evidence of a heaven
And I testify the lessons of a land of three levels
Each better than earth, I don’t believe in things like hell
Just a few kingdoms and a veil to keep it ringing no bells
And a prize for living life like Christ
And man I’m trying
Even though the adversary tempting me
Mind like a steel trap
Fiery darts relentlessly
Sent to me
Guardian angels around me, but satan want them to leave
Anything to get the spirit numb like ketamine
Entities creeping in my window with they energies
God is my sword, armor, boots, buckler and the shield
I believe the father, Son and Holy Ghost are separate beings
Everybody’s got their way to worship so just let them be
‘Drive I appreciate your questions and your set of beliefs
As for me, just my life alone is evidence to me
Ever since the day that I was born he’s been protecting me
Activities with my stake and ward twelve to seventeen
Never seen
As much love and kindness as with them I’ve seen
The optimism, life gives us citrus, we make lemons sing
Every time we serve someone the Lord up in heaven sees
Serving rappers on a platter that must why God is blessing me
We don’t pay our ministers we ain’t in chapels selling things
10% goes to god but I owe him everything

[OUTRO]
I must find the truth
Without it I’m nothing, I’m nothing without you
And when my scarecrows are all falling down will you be there for me?
For me?
