Prayin For Help

[00:00.99] Our Father
[00:02.56] Who are in heaven
[00:03.86] Hollowed be thy name
[00:05.43] Thy kingdom come
[00:07.14] Thy will be done
[00:08.84] On earth as it is in heaven
[00:11.42] Give us this day our daily bread
[00:13.87] And forgive us for our trespasses
[00:16.29] As we forgive those who trespass against us
[00:19.80] Lead us not into temptation
[00:22.24] But deliver us from evil
[00:24.10] For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory
[00:29.57] For ever, and ever, amen
[00:32.76] Man I'm prayin' for help
[00:34.47] While I'm lookin at the life I left
[00:36.07] It's kinda hard not to hate myself
[00:37.93] But quiet is kept right or wrong
[00:39.90] It's just the way I felt
[00:41.03] I might be better of prayin' for death
[00:42.90] On my knees I knelt
[00:44.32] Still trying to find a way to accept
[00:45.93] It ain't a way I can help nobody
[00:48.54] 'Til I save myself
[00:49.34] Technically I'm still a slave myself
[00:51.51] I gotta climb out the grave myself
[00:52.96] Man I played myself
[00:54.68] But when I look at all the fans I touched
[00:56.16] I ask how can a man that's done so much
[00:58.19] Be treated so unjust
[00:59.57] Cause I'm tryin' to inspire da folks
[01:01.35] Wanna condemn 'cause they sell dope
[01:03.28] Well man show 'em the ropes
[01:04.74] Be a father a football coach a role model or a symbol of hope
[01:07.72] Take another approach
[01:09.52] Instead of testifying against 'em in court
[01:11.68] Handcuffin' 'em and closin' the door so they can be worse than before
[01:14.57] Can't you see they only do what they know
[01:16.64] Then you wonder why they don't care no more
[01:18.46] Life ain't fair I know
[01:20.05] But why I'm hated everywhere I go
[01:21.64] Next time you wanna compare my flow just know
[01:23.40] I'm prayin' for help...
[01:24.76] Askin' somebody else to give me a hand
[01:26.81] I'm tryin hard but I'm only a man (man)
[01:28.87] I'm prayin for help
[01:30.13] Hopin somebody else can see what I see
[01:31.88] It's like the hood only matter to me they got me
[01:33.61] (Prayin' for help)
[01:34.74] Hopin somebody else can carry the torch
[01:36.92] I'm all alone with no kinda support
[01:38.61] (While I) was prayin' for help
[01:39.86] Realized I don't need nobody else
[01:41.56] If God with me I can do it myself
[01:43.65] (Tired of just prayin' for help)
[01:45.21] I know it's only one king
[01:46.27] One thing, one being, only something I believe
[01:48.72] Without seein' and with all my faith
[01:50.59] I pray somehow, someway regardless of what anyone say
[01:54.13] I believe one day that I'mma change my life
[01:57.52] Get right, start livin like Christ, 'til the end of my fight
[02:00.77] Imma be defending my strife, 'til somebody come and shut off my lights
[02:04.49] I ain't never gone quit
[02:06.40] No matter how difficult is gone get
[02:07.91] And you can bet whatever on this
[02:09.52] I'm forever gone spit
[02:11.02] Harder than niggas hatin' on TIP
[02:12.50] You can take the weight and place it on TIP
[02:14.49] I'll double my load carry it as the trouble unfolds
[02:17.66] Hold yos and I bet I don't fold
[02:19.77] Put that on my soul
[02:21.15] If it takes 'til I'm 100 years old
[02:22.81] Bet I'm reachin every one of my goals
[02:24.47] You know I'm prayin' for help...
[02:26.11] Askin somebody else to give me a hand
[02:27.62] I'm tryin hard but I'm only a man (man)
[02:29.54] I'm prayin' for help
[02:31.04] Hopin somebody else can see what I see
[02:32.72] It's like the hood only matter to me they got me
[02:34.66] (Prayin for help)
[02:36.08] Hopin somebody else can carry the torch
[02:37.84] I'm all alone with no kinda support
[02:39.56] (While I) was prayin' for help
[02:40.55] Realized I don't need nobody else
[02:42.59] If God with me I can do it myself
[02:44.32] (Tired of just prayin' for help)
[02:45.96] So many times I done wish that I could change my mind
[02:47.97] Change my life and leave the game behind
[02:50.05] And it's been so many days
[02:51.66] I done prayed I could find a way
[02:53.00] Find the heart and the time to say
[02:54.77] Only so many are blessed with
[02:56.43] So many chances, so many checks
[02:58.10] So many fans with so many arrests
[02:59.77] And it's been so many deaths
[03:01.55] So many prisons with niggas in there
[03:03.02] And the system keep playin' them to the left
[03:04.80] Man its so many test so many haters love seein' you stress
[03:08.05] But tribulations come with being the best
[03:10.01] Still there's so many who flex, singin' bout checks
[03:12.07] When they greener than Shreks
[03:13.21] Sellin' dreams, never seen in the 'jects
[03:14.96] That's why I'm seen as a threat
[03:16.38] So many stripes off the streets in my vest
[03:18.09] So many rappers get so little respect
[03:20.07] Man niggas faith on the shelf
[03:21.40] 'Cause of the cards that a nigga was dealt
[03:23.23] Or the hard that a nigga done dealt
[03:25.21] So many niggas that left
[03:26.61] Out of the hood
[03:27.58] Made a way for theyself
[03:28.40] Instead of givin back they stay for theyself
[03:29.95] So many playin' theyself
[03:31.85] Instead of reading educating theyselves
[03:33.25] The ones who won't pray for theyself, they got me
[03:35.15] Prayin' for help...
[03:36.58] Askin' somebody else to give me a hand
[03:38.32] I'm tryin' hard but I'm only a man (man)
[03:40.12] I'm prayin' for help
[03:41.43] Hopin somebody else can see what I see
[03:43.28] It's like the hood only matter to me the got me
[03:45.13] (Prayin for help)
[03:46.60] Hopin' somebody else can carry the torch
[03:48.42] I'm all alone with no kinda support
[03:50.23] (While I) was prayin' for help
[03:51.28] Realized I don't need nobody else
[03:53.27] If God with me I can do it myself
[03:55.25] (Tired of just prayin' for help)
