| I come here today to talk about how I feel
|
| And I feel like that we are treated differently than other people
|
| And I don’t like how we’re treated
|
| Just because of our color doesn’t mean anything to me
|
| This just the way I feel
|
| Minds been racing so long
|
| It’s just no way to deal
|
| With these problems alone
|
| And I really can’t take it no more
|
| I be fighting temptations, my Lord
|
| I’m making them restless (And I really can’t help it)
|
| I never felt selfish before
|
| I’ve been living so reckless, I know
|
| Tell me Lord can you help me?
|
| (I said Lord can you help me?)
|
| Now everybody got problems, yeah
|
| But ain’t no way to solve em
|
| I really came up from the bottom
|
| Strugglin', my momma on her last dollar
|
| Hustling man I’ve been putting in these hours
|
| The government been trying to take away what’s ours
|
| It’s really all about the money and the power
|
| I just wanna see my people in power
|
| Uh, uh, tell me how we gon' shape this vision
|
| Complainin' all day, but in the same conditions
|
| If you wanna make change, it’s gonna take commitment
|
| Some people enslaved by they religion
|
| Can’t emancipate the fundamental prisons
|
| When I see through optics, transform the wisdom
|
| Watch me use my powers, get em all to listen
|
| I’ve been on a mission, ah!
|
| And I really can’t take it no more
|
| I be fighting temptations, my Lord
|
| I’m making them restless (And I really can’t help it)
|
| I never felt selfish before
|
| I’ve been living so reckless, I know
|
| Tell me Lord can you help me?
|
| (I said Lord can you help me?)
|
| Now everybody got vice, yeah
|
| But wouldn’t know what good advice was
|
| Until they leave him lifeless
|
| Another momma crying, it’s another crisis
|
| Lord knows we just trying to live righteous
|
| Are you willing just to make the sacrifices?
|
| I know we can’t continue living like this
|
| And I never sell my soul because that’s priceless, uh, uh
|
| Tell me how we gon' make a living
|
| Hustle on the block who gon' save the children?
|
| Menace on the block and I’m just revealing
|
| The media just trying to make a villain
|
| I just take the pain and a paint a picture
|
| Voices in my head, I hear the whispers
|
| When I feel this way inhale the swisher
|
| Or I sip the liquor, ah!
|
| And I really can’t take it no more
|
| I be fighting temptations, my Lord
|
| I’m making them restless (And I really can’t help it)
|
| I never felt selfish before
|
| I’ve been living so reckless I know
|
| Tell me Lord can you help me?
|
| (I said Lord can you help me?)
|
| This just the way I feel
|
| Mind’s been racing so long
|
| It’s just no way to deal
|
| With these problems alone
|
| And I really can’t take it no more
|
| I be fighting temptations, my Lord
|
| I’m making them restless (I said Lord, can you help me?)
|
| I never felt selfish before
|
| I’ve been living so reckless, I know
|
| Tell me Lord can you help me?
|
| (I said Lord can you help me?)
|
| Do not stop
|
| We are black people and we shouldn’t have to feel like this
|
| We shouldn’t have to protest because you are treating us wrong
|
| We do this because we need to and we have rights |
