Conversations with God - Charles Hamilton

Miss. Can I call you, Miss?

I got your number so like, can I call you, miss?

She said, «You don’t need a phone to reach me

Cause vocal thoughts lead to arguments.»

I’m sure you won’t believe me

If I said I was talkin' to God and shit

But it’s all legit, all of it

So just listen to the way we talk and lift off with this

She said, «I was eyeing you from afar

From a star, I watched you from someone’s car»

The glare of light in that person’s rear view

When the wind blows, that means that I’m near you

I said, «I hear you, miss.

Wait, what’s your last name?»

She said, «Dess.»

I said, «God, You’re a mess.»

Lets, talk and reflect.

Walk with me

Tell me how hard I’ve been blessed

Show me who you are and I will do the same

I will never do you wrong

I know better than to hurt you

I can’t make mistakes

I swear I love you more

Than anyone can

I think you understand me, baby

I said, «Do you get mad when I talk about

The bitches I done fucked in the past?»

She said, «Nah, but there are ladies who do, so

Don’t get stuck in the past»

I said, «God you taught me a lot, an awful lot

But I feel awful, a lot.»

I sold my soul to myself, I’m so alone

Over domes I go, with every poem thrown

From my point of view, everything points to you

But you point to me, humanity is annoying me

She said, «You are far from a boy to me

Your noise is sweet, no way you’re annoying me

Join the beat, become your own instrument

I love you, and I’m watching.

Listening

Your negative thoughts are just me hugging you tighter

Pressure makes you write hard, so fuck it, it’s fire.»

Show me who you are and I will do the same

I will never do you wrong

I know better than to hurt you

I can’t make mistakes

I swear I love you more

Than anyone can

I think you understand me, baby

«Don't leave me miss,» I said

As she walked from the bar

She was off to the stars

I was drunk from her potent presence

No liquor involved but I was copacetic

She beamed down and said

«Your bars are my lullabies

So hard, but calm and I love it, why?

You’re Charles Hamilton, but act like you’re just another guy

As if you don’t reside up in the sky

And you worry bout' goin' over nigga’s heads

And bitches fed, cause you said, they was givin' head

I won’t lie, you are brash with delivery

But you’re not one to dash from your inner beast

Besides, I ask you for chivalry

You have what you’ve given me

It’s mad elementary

This kinda love can last for a century

But you’re Charles and your passion is history

Forever.»

Show me who you are and I will do the same

I will never do you wrong

I know better than to hurt you

I can’t make mistakes

I swear I love you more

Than anyone can

I think you understand me, baby
