God
Come in, God
God, come in, God
Damn, you're a girl? Wow
I guess the reason I'm talkin'✦ to you tonight is
Because I've been doin' a lot of thinkin' and
And I consider myself✦ a pretty✦ cool guy
And I've never✦ cheated on any✦ of my girlfriends
Well, well, except that one little time in Japan,✦ but
That was just some head, and head don't count, right?
Ah, thanks God, I knew you'd understand
Well, I just feel like
Well, to be honest with you
God, I just need a sweet bitch
You know somebody✦ not too
Not too fast, but not too slow
'Cause I don't have it all my damn self
And life ain't easy✦
You know, you just want somebody✦ by your side
To help smooth that thang out, you know what I'm talkin'✦ 'bout?
And at this point, I mean, I'm not bein' picky✦
She doesn't even✦ have to have a big ol' ass, you know?
Just something well proportioned to her body✦
You know, a nice little tail, you know?
What? You say you, you say you found somebody?✦
Is she cute? So when do I get to met her?
Oh God, you're the greatest
Well, I guess I'll talk to you later✦
Amen✦
Oh, I'm sorry,✦ I'm sorry✦
A-lady✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse functions as a conversational, stream-of-consciousness character study rather than a technical showcase, leveraging André 3000's idiosyncratic vocal cadence to ground a surreal premise in mundane human fallibility.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"head don't count, right?"

① Literal sexual encounter (oral sex).② A cognitive justification/rationalization where the speaker minimizes the severity of infidelity through semantic gymnastics.

Exceptional conversational realism

Strong character voice

Innovative subversion of the 'prayer' trope

Lacks traditional complex wordplay

Minimalist rhyme density

Relies more on theatricality than lyrical density
