Lyrics

This just the way I feel
 Mind's been racing so long, yeah
 It's just no way to deal
 With these problems alone
 And I really can't take it no more
 I've been fighting temptations, my Lord
 I'm young and I'm restless
 And I really can't help it
 And 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 wouldn't know what way to solve 'em
 I really came up from the bottom
 Struggling, my momma on her last dollar
 Hustling and I've been putting in these hours
 Government been tryna take away what's ours
 Really all about the money and the power
 I just wanna see my people empowered
 Tell me how we gon' shape this vision
 Complaining all day but in the same condition
 Wanna make change, it's gon' take commitment
 People enslaved by their religion
 Can't emancipate them from the mental prisons
 Seen through optics transform to wisdom
 Watch me use my prophets, get 'em all to listen
 I've been on a mission, ah
 I really can't take it no more
 I've been fighting temptations, my Lord
 I'm making 'em restless
 And I really can't help it
 And 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 vices, yeah
 But wouldn't know what good advice is
 Until they leave 'em lifeless
 Another mama crying, it's another crisis
 Lord knows we just tryna live righteous
 Are you willing just to make the sacrifices?
 No, we can't continue living like this
 And I'll never sell my soul 'cause that's priceless
 Tell me how we gon' make a living
 Hustle on the block, who gon' save the children?
 Man, it's all a plot and I'm just revealing
 The media just tryna make a villain
 I just take the pain and paint a picture
 Voices in my head, I hear the whispers
 When I feel this way, inhale the swisher
 Or I sip the liquor
 I really can't take it no more
 I've been fighting temptations, my Lord
 I'm making 'em restless
 And I really can't help it
 And 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, yeah
 It's just no way to deal
 With these problems alone
 And I really can't take it no more
 I've been fighting temptations, my Lord
 I'm young and I'm restless
 And I really can't help it
 And 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?"
