Prayin for Help (Screwed version)

[00:00.15] Our daily bread and forgive us for our trespasses
[00:04.59] As we forgive those who trespass against us
[00:07.99] Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
[00:12.65] For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory
[00:18.14] Forever and ever, amen
[00:22.24] Man I'm praying for help, while I'm looking at the life I left
[00:25.84] It's kinda hard not to hate myself, but quiet is kept
[00:29.64] Right or wrong it's just the way I felt
[00:31.58] I might be better off praying for death, on my knees I knelt
[00:35.44] Still tryna find a way to accept
[00:37.31] It ain't a way that I can help nobody till I save myself
[00:41.17] Technically I'm still a slave myself
[00:43.02] I gotta climb out the grave myself, man I played myself
[00:46.72] But when I look at all the fans I touched
[00:48.94] I ask how can a man that's done so much be treated so unjust
[00:52.66] Cause I try and inspire the folks you
[00:54.77] Wanna condemn cause they sell dope
[00:56.89] Well man show 'em the ropes, be a father or a football coach
[01:00.48] A role model or a symbol of hope
[01:02.72] Take another approach, instead of testifying against 'em in court
[01:06.42] Handcuffin' 'em and closing the door so they can be worse than before
[01:09.98] Can't you see they only do what they know
[01:11.99] Then you wonder why they don't care no more
[01:14.21] Life ain't fair I know, but why I'm hated everywhere I go
[01:17.71] Next time you wanna compare my flow, just remember
[01:20.36] I'm praying for help, asking somebody else to give me a hand
[01:23.53] I'm trying hard but I'm only a man, man
[01:25.66] I'm praying for help, hoping somebody else can see what I see
[01:29.22] It's like the hood only matter to me
[01:31.45] They got me praying for help, hoping somebody else can carry the torch
[01:35.05] I'm all alone with no kind of support
[01:37.28] While I was praying for help, realized I don't need nobody else
[01:40.87] If God with me I can do it myself
[01:43.36] I know it's only one king, one thing, one being
[01:46.77] Only something I believe what I'd seen
[01:48.86] But I want all my faith, I pray somehow, some way
[01:52.72] Regardless of what anyone say, I believe one day
[01:56.61] That I'ma change my life, get right, start living like Christ
[02:00.45] Till the end of my fight, I'ma be defending my stripes
[02:04.04] Till somebody come and shut off my lights
[02:06.28] I ain't never gon' quit, no matter how good it's gon' get
[02:10.05] And you can bet whatever on this, I'm forever gon' spit
[02:13.69] Harder than niggas hating on Tip
[02:15.62] You can take the weight and place it on Tip
[02:17.78] I double my load, carry it as the trouble unfolds
[02:21.33] Hold yours and I bet I don't fold, put that on my soul
[02:24.99] If it take till I'm a hundred years old
[02:27.16] Bet I'm reaching every one of my goals
[02:29.43] I'm praying for help, asking somebody else to give me a hand
[02:32.77] I'm trying hard but I'm only a man, man
[02:35.27] I'm praying for help, hoping somebody else can see what I see
[02:38.46] It's like the hood only matter to me
[02:40.66] They got me praying for help, hoping somebody else can carry the torch
[02:44.26] I'm all alone with no kind of support
[02:46.45] While I was praying for help, realized I don't need nobody else
[02:50.06] If God with me I can do it myself
[02:52.32] So many times I done wished that I could change my mind
[02:55.89] Change my life and leave the game behind
[02:58.03] And it's been so many days, I done prayed I could find a way
[03:01.65] Find it hard any time to say
[03:03.74] So many are blessed with so many chances and so many checks
[03:07.38] So many fans with so many arrests and so many deaths
[03:10.93] So many prisons with niggas in there
[03:13.12] And the system keep playing them to the left
[03:15.24] Man there's so many tests, so many haters love seeing you stressed
[03:18.80] But tribulations come with being the best
[03:21.08] Still it's so many who flex, singing '
[03:22.87] Bout checks when they greener than Shrek
[03:24.72] Selling dreams, never seen in the 'jects
[03:26.83] That's why I'm seen as a threat
[03:28.22] So many stripes off the streets I'm a vet
[03:30.21] But so many rappers get so little respect
[03:32.59] Now they just fake on the shelf
[03:34.01] Cause of the cards that a nigga was dealt
[03:36.33] Or the heart that a nigga done dealt
[03:38.37] So many niggas done left
[03:39.85] Out of the hood, made a way for theyself
[03:41.92] Instead of giving back, they stay for theyself
[03:44.12] So many playing theyself
[03:45.58] Instead of reading, educating theyself
[03:47.79] The ones who won't even pray for theyself
[03:49.90] They got me praying for help
[03:51.33] I'm praying for help, asking somebody else to give me a hand
[03:53.56] I'm trying hard but I'm only a man, man
[03:56.06] I'm praying for help, hoping somebody else can see what I see
[03:59.39] It's like the hood only matter to me
[04:01.42] They got me praying for help, hoping somebody else can carry the torch
[04:05.08] I'm all alone with no kind of support
[04:07.28] While I was praying for help, realized I don't need nobody else
[04:10.86] If God with me I can do it myself
[04:13.93]
