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
This just the way I feel
Mind's been racing so long yeah
It’s just no way to deal
With these problems alone
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
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
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
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
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
This just the way I feel
Mind's been racing so long yeah
It's just no way to deal
With these problems alone
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
I said Lord can you help me
I said Lord can you help me
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
