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?"
