Lyrics:
[Intro] 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 [Pre-Chorus] This just the way I feel Mind's been racing so long, yeah It’s just no way to deal With these problems alone [Chorus] 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) 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?) [Verse 1] Now everybody got problems, yeah But wouldn't know what way to solve ’em I really came up from the bottom Strugglin’, my momma on her last dollar Hustlin' and I’ve been puttin' in these hours The government been tryna take away what's ours It's really all about the money and the power I just wanna see my people empowered Uh, uh, tell me how we gon’ shape this vision Complainin' all day, but in the same condition If you wanna make change, it's gon' take commitment Some people enslaved by they religion Can't emancipate them from the mental prisons What I seen through optics transform to wisdom Watch me use my prophets, get 'em all to listen I've been on a mission, ah [Chorus] And I really can't take it no more I've been 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?) [Verse 2] Now everybody got vices, yeah But wouldn't know what good advice is Until they leave 'em lifeless Another mama cryin', it's another crisis Lord knows we just tryna live righteous Are you willin' just to make the sacrifices? I know we can't continue livin' like this And I'll never sell my soul 'cause that's priceless, uh, uh Tell me how we gon' make a livin' Hustle on the block, who gon' save the children? Man it's all a plot and I'm just revealin' The media just tryna 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 [Chorus] And I really can't take it no more I've been 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?) [Pre-Chorus] This just the way I feel Mind's been racing so long, yeah It's just no way to deal With these problems alone [Chorus] And I really can't take it no more I've been 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?) [Outro] 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
