TEMPTATION |
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 |
