  • 作词 : Jo-Vaughn Virginie/Kirlan Labarrie/Adam Pallin
    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
    (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?)
    (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
