Prayin For Help

Man, I'm prayin for help

While I'm lookin' at the life I left, it's kinda hard not to hate myself

But quiet is kept, right or wrong it's just the way I felt

I might be better off praying for death, on my knees I knelt

Still tryna find a way to accept

It ain't a way that I can help nobody till I save myself

Technically, I'm still a slave, myself

I gotta climb out the grave myself, man, I played myself

But when I look at all the fans I touch

I ask, how can a man that's done so much be treated so unjust?

'Cause I try and inspire the folks

You wanna condemn 'cause they sell dope?

Well, man, show 'em the ropes, be a father or a football coach

A role model or a symbol of hope, take another approach

Instead of testifying against them in court

Handcuffing 'em and closing the door, so they can be worse than before

Can't you see they only do what they know?

Then you wonder why they don't care no more, life ain't fair, I know

But why I'm hated everywhere I go

Next time you wanna compare my flow, just know

I'm prayin for help

Asking somebody else to give me a hand

I'm tryin' hard, but I'm only a man, man

I'm prayin for help

Hopin' somebody else can see what I see

It's like the hood only matter to me

They got me prayin for help

Hopin' somebody else can carry the torch

I'm all alone with no kind of support

While I was prayin for help

Realized that I don't need nobody else

If God with me, I can do it myself

Tired of just prayin for help

I know it's only one king, one thing, one being

Only something I believe without seeing

And with all my faith, I pray, somehow, someway

Regardless of what anyone say, I believe one day

That I'ma change my life, get right

Start living like Christ till the end of my fight

I'ma be defending my strife till somebody come and shut off my lights

I ain't never gon' quit, no matter how difficult it's gon' get

And you can bet whatever on this, I'm forever gon' spit

Harder than **** hating on Tip

You can take the weight, place it on Tip

I'll double my load, carry as the trouble unfolds

Hold yours, and I bet I don't fold, put that on my soul

If it takes till I'm a hunnid years old

Bet I'm reaching every one of my goals

I'm prayin for help

Asking somebody else to give me a hand

I'm tryin' hard, but I'm only a man, man

I'm prayin for help

Hopin' somebody else can see what I see

It's like the hood only matter to me

They got me prayin for help

Hopin' somebody else can carry the torch

I'm all alone with no kind of support

While I was prayin for help

Realized that I don't need nobody else

If God with me, I can do it myself

Tired of just prayin for help

Hey, it's been so many times I done wished that I could change my mind

Change my life and leave the game behind

And it's been so many days I done prayed that I could find a way

Find the heart and the time to say

Only so many get blessed with so many chances and so many checks

So many fans with so many arrests

And it's been so many deaths, so many prayers for **** in there

And the system keep playing them to the left

Man, it's so many tests, so many haters love seeing you stress

But tribulations come with being the best

Still it's so many who flex, say it by text when they greener than Shreks

Selling dreams, never seen in the jets

That's why I'm seen as a threat

So many stripes, off the streets, I'm a vet

So many rappers get so little respect

Now **** faith on the shelf 'cause of the cards that a **** was dealt

Or the heart that a **** done dealt

So many **** done left outta the hood, made a way for they self

Instead of giving back they stay for they self

So many playing they self instead of reading, educating they self

The ones who won't even pray for they self

Got me prayin for help

Asking somebody else to give me a hand

I'm tryin' hard, but I'm only a man, man

I'm prayin for help

Hopin' somebody else can see what I see

It's like the hood only matter to me

They got me prayin for help

Hopin' somebody else can carry the torch

I'm all alone with no kind of support

While I was prayin for help

Realized that I don't need nobody else

If God with me, I can do it myself

Tired of just prayin for help
