The Andy Mineo and Tree Giants-assisted “The One Where I Talk To God” is a feel-good anthem about Marty’s necessity to talk to God in tough times. The track is the lead single on Marty’s 2020 EP Marty For President 2 and also marks Marty’s first release since 2015 EP Marty For President.
[Refrain: Tree Giants]
Living for me, talking for you
Too much for me, nothing for you (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Foolin' myself but not foolin' you (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Never gonna make it if I push you away
Rising up from deep inside of me
Seeing there's a better side of me
Calling out for You is all I need
[Verse 1: Marty]
Unqualified and a hypocrite
Full of scars I ain't dealin' with (Uh)
I'm writing songs for the world to sing
But I'm still the one who's not listening
And there's something 'bout this love, ayy
Didn't know when I said to God
To send me, He really would, ha
'Cause I'm really not that good
But I heard everybody rather pretend
If anybody really happy let me see them
Only wanna talk to God on the weekend
When you get a little older, then you'll need Him
But you know that you feel like something's missing (Uh)
And things don't make a difference
We need a Savior, not religion
So God sent His Son to get us, it's crazy
[Pre-Chorus: Marty]
This the life that I miss, yeah
How did I get too busy for You? Uh
Sometimes I make it too complex
[Chorus: Marty & Andy Mineo]
Yeah, sometimes I need to talk to God
Uh-huh, right now (Right now)
Right now (Right now)
Sometimes I need to talk to God
Right now (Right now)
Right now, right now (Right now)
Sometimes I need to talk to—
[Verse 2: Andy Mineo]
Yeah, woke up this morning, (Woke up) uh
Did a little self-help, looking into therapy
Hit a podcast then I watched me some Gary Vee
Yeah, I work hard I don't need me no charity
Naw, tryna stay on track
Thought life on Mortal Kombat
Woosah, deep breath, calm app
Either that or what's on tap
Got a whole lot on my shoulders, yeah
Tryna find someone to hold it, yeah
Whiteboard gotta stay focused, uh
Namaste with the yoga, uh
After all my hard work, all my planning, all my thoughts
How I still feel lost? Well
[Chorus: Marty & Andy Mineo]
Sometimes I need to talk to God
Uh-huh, right now (Right now)
Right now (Right now)
Sometimes I need to talk to God
Right now (Right now)
Right now, right now (Right now)
Sometimes I need to talk to God
[Refrain: Tree Giants]
Living for me, talking for you
Too much for me, nothing for you
Foolin' myself but not foolin' you
Never gonna make it if I push you away
Rising up from deep inside of me
Seeing there's a better side of me
Calling out for you, it's all of me
[Chorus: Marty & Andy Mineo]
Yeah, sometimes I need to talk to God
Uh-huh, right now (Right now)
Right now (Right now)
Sometimes I need to talk to God-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Right now (Right now)
Right now, right now
Sometimes I need to talk to God-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
[Outro: Marty]
Right now, right now
Sometimes I need to talk to God-yeah-yeah-oh-oh-oh-oh, uh
Right now, right now
Sometimes I need to talk to, yeah
