Help Me Please

Help me, please

I'm blinded by my tears and I just can't see

So many devils tryin' to recycle my soul

'Cause in the ghetto where I'm from there ain't no positive roles

Just **** and hoes

Send me a sign

Just to let a **** know that he been on ya mind

Mmmm

Hmm, shit just be so fucked up out here in these streets, mane

You feel me? Straight up

This is the sea of life and I'm drownin'

I know I can swim, but feel like I keep sinkin' down in

These waters and I can't breathe, I feel like I'm gon' blow it

I can see people holding a life jacket but they won't throw it

Entertained by my struggle and they'd love to see me die

Why not love to see me live instead of helping my family cry?

Like a homeless person with a sign, I would work for food

Ain't no shame in bein' helpless, it's a part of payin' dues

On an every day mission tryin' to collect fives and tens

So many worries I promise my bones show right through my skin

Fancy cars and a mansion, that ain't ever been my goal

A hooptie would be fine, plus somewhere warm when it's cold

I know what it feel like, not to be able to call the shots

Have a pen, but no time to connect all the dots

Therefore I do what I can do and get down on my knees

Cause I can't make it by my lonely, Jesus, help a ****, please

Help me, please

I'm blinded by my tears and I just can't see

So many devils tryin' to recycle my soul

'Cause in the ghetto where I'm from there ain't no positive roles

Just **** and hoes

Send me a sign

Just to let a **** know that he been on ya mind

Mmmm

Yeah, much love to everybody doin' time

Up in Panmista state jail, ya dig

Seem like soon as I'm findin'

Happiness the joy's gone

Kickin' it with Steve Francis, Mike Tyson, and Roy Jones

I waited my whole life to be somebody

But now I've gotta get a visit just to see somebody

I'm in this all white, reminiscin' all night, but my cousin trans

Wreakin' havoc in this rap game, so it's alright

Grandmother and my auntie gettin' everything they need

Trae's an angel in my eyesight, a true friend indeed

While I'm waitin' for heaven, I see hell and smell the flames

Lord send Abraham to quickly snatch me from this pain

I don't really wanna die, just need a change of scenery

I done seen too many killings just like my vision is mean to me

And my eyes don't like me, and my soul wanna leave me

I'm persecuted daily by my friends, it ain't easy

I do what I can do and then get down on my knees

I have so many enemies, Lord, would you help me please

Help me please

I'm blinded by my tears and I just can't see

So many devils tryin' to recycle my soul

'Cause in the ghetto where I'm from there ain't no positive roles

Just **** and hoes

Send me a sign

Just to let a **** know that he been on ya mind

Mmmm

**** fuck Precinct Five, **** and fuck Officer Thornton Berry

Punk ass bitches, uh

Tryin' to survive for me is like chasing the wind

You know you ain't ever gonna catch it

So why bother letting your knees bend

I try to stay around some realness

Brothers and sisters, how the people feel this

If hurt and misery is who you chill with

Mo' city, my hood, it forever be my block

Never thought I'd see the day it'd hand me over to the cops

Where the love from my homeboys, I love y'all too

I was the tugboat to your problems 'cause I drug y'all through

Just one question, dawg, how could you do me like that?

I took your family in

I put some cash in your pocket, made you a man again

But now it's like you never knew me

Wouldn't take the fall for y'all so now y'all wanna do me

I made it up out of the hood and I ain't comin' back

Unless I'm bringin Lil' Boss to get a hundred sack

****, I'm gon' do what I'm gon' do

And then get down on my knees

And make a couple of G's, but in God name, help a **** to succeed
