Lyrics Help Us - Mistah F.A.B., Dj.Fresh

Help Us

Look I was taught to hold doors for the elderly folks
Take your hat off when entering tattoo home
Never curse around dope did you slip
Then apologize speaking to a person look em dead in they eyes
Don’t throw rocks and hide your hand man just deal with what happened
No more lessons being taught especially in rapping
I guess these rappers all forgot that they was raised in the youth
They started lying in they songs and stop speaking the truth
Remember Babe Ruth from Pop Warner from way back when
Now we only socialize on our way to the pen
They took the conversation out the hood
No conversation means a lack of communication you know that ain’t good
No understanding be the reason why they shooting cannons
Little girl thirteen got killed right where she was standing
Innocent bystander in the ghetto
That happen everyday gotta speak to each other hello
They say they do but they never don’t
They say they will but they never won’t
They say they feel but they never felt
Instead of waiting on the help
We gotta help us help us help us
Help us help us
Born in the darkness searching for a better day
One bad move in the hood could throw your life away
So many brothers I grew up with doing life okay
Sues and bills San Quentin Jamestown Pelican Bay
Four years in the shoe turn a young boy gray
No women in the pen turned a young boy gay
Cold reality but normality not just in Cali B it’s all around the U it’s like
this Cali weed
I take a moment just to handle a lot of literature
Fans on instagram they analyze pictures bruh
Telling on yourself then crying like a victim huh
Sharing wisdom with you I’m just hoping you will listen cuz
I’m tired of seeing youngsters in the cemetery and the prison
We need to open up the vision and see where we headed
I done been to more funerals than weddings
They say they do but they never don’t
They say they will but they never won’t
They say they feel but they never felt
Instead of waiting on the help
We gotta help us help us help us
Help us help us
You said you couldn’t be a doctor or a lawyer
A criminologist a scientist a zionist and moving for brain surgeon or
chiropractor
A movie director or play writer or big time actor
Not just a rapper or a model posing with a bottle
Only seeing life as far as today what about tomorrow
Man I used to wake up hecka broke
Paraphernalia in my crib
Meaning as a kid I slept next to dope
Instead of a poem they should’ve put a stethoscope in my hands
Cause man playing spokes was next to coke
Only a couple make it
Get a scholarship tell your ATL goodness back to I need a dollar tip
Get sent home from the campus don’t hear from colleges
See your coats off in the streets won’t even acknowledge him
Look man this course is streets street corners or the street corner
Which one you choose
They say they do but they never don’t
They say they will but they never won’t
They say they feel but they never felt
Instead of waiting on the help
We gotta help us help us help us
