I Need Help (feat. Nick Day)

Jesus, please have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on my family
Mercy on me
I got the weight of the world on my back
Feet on the table, my balance is bad
Ain't got no cape but I'm fresh off the leash
Everyone's telling me

I need help (ooh, ooh)
I need help (ooh, ooh)
I need help (ooh, ooh)
I need help (ooh, ooh)

Yeah
I need help (ooh, ooh)
Admitting that was the first step
Had to go out on my own, leave the bird's nest
Leap of faith but my wings didn't work yet
Fell to the ground and the pain was the worst yet

Yeah
That's a lesson I ain't learned yet
Stripe I ain't earned yet
Gotta get knocked down twice
So the third gon' Hurt less
Got to the Church steps couldn't take the first step

I need help
I need some guidance
Somebody controlling it
Got me a Bible
I took it right home with me
Put it right next to my bed
And I said that I'd read it
The truth is I ain't even open it

If I'm being honest, I don't even pray
I need somebody to show me the way
I need somebody to tell me that
Nothing is wrong with me saying that

I need help (ooh, ooh)
When everything around me is falling to pieces
I need help (ooh, ooh)
When I cannot even remember what peace is
I need help (ooh, ooh)
Feel like I'm slipping right into the deep end
I need help (ooh, ooh)
I'm Looking for reasons

I needed help
I said it, what's step two?
Got me looking for the next move
'Cause they keep saying that I could be rescued
The chains could be let loose
Says who?
Boxed it away but the stress grew
Put a lock in a chain but it crept through
Yeah, I got regrets too
Got a lot of things I could confess to
I put it in a letter but I don't know who to send to

Pride talk, that's my ego
Thinking I'm my own God, yes, I had a dethrone
Thought I had it in control 'til I hit a steep slope
Thought I had the tree of life never let the seeds grow
All I needed was some hope
All along had it right next to my bed
Open the book with my son and I read
In the hopes that one day that He doesn't feel shame when he says

I need help (ooh, ooh)
When everything around me is falling to pieces
I need help (ooh, ooh)
When I cannot even remember what peace is
I need help (ooh, ooh)
Feel like I'm slipping right into the deep end
I need help (ooh, ooh)
I'm Looking for reasons

Jesus, please have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on my family
Mercy on me
I got the weight of the world on my back
Feet on the table my balance is bad
Ain't got no cape but I'm fresh off the leash
Everyone's telling me

I need help (oh, oh)
I need help (ooh, ooh)
(I need, I need)
I need help (ooh, ooh)
(Oh Lord, oh Lord)
I need help (ooh, ooh)
