Help Me Please

Help me please
I'm blinded by my tears and I just can't see
So many devils tryin' to recycle my soul
'Cause in the ghetto where I'm from
Ain't no flies in the groves, just niggas and hoes
Send me a sign
Just to let a nigga know that he been on your mind
Mhmm

Hmm, shit just be so fucked up out here in these streets, man
You feel me? Straight up
This is the sea of life and I'm drownin'
I know I can swim, but feel like I keep sinkin' down in
These waters and I can't breathe, I feel like I'm gon' blow it
I can see people holdin' a life jacket but they won't throw it
Entertained by my struggle and they'd love to see me die
Why not love to see me live instead of helpin' my family cry?

Like a homeless person with a sign, I would work for food
Ain't no shame in bein' helpless, it's a part of payin' dues
On an everyday mission, tryin' to collect 5's and 10's
So many worries, I promise my bones show right through my skin
Fancy cars and a mansion? That ain't never been my goal
A hooptie would be fine, plus somewhere warm when it's cold

I know what it feel like, not to be able to call the shots
Have a pen but no time to connect, all the dots
Therefore I do what I can do and then get down on my knees
'Cause I can't make it by my lonely, Jesus help a nigga please

Help me please
I'm blinded by my tears and I just can't see
So many devils tryin' to recycle my soul
'Cause in the ghetto where I'm from
Ain't no flies in the groves, just niggas and hoes
Send me a sign
Just to let a nigga know that he been on your mind
Mhmm

Yeah, much love to everybody doin' time
Up in Pam Minister state jail, you dig
Seem like soon as I'm findin' happiness, the joy's gone
Kickin' it with Steve Francis, Mike Tyson and Roy Jones
I waited my whole life to be somebody
But now I've gotta get a visit just to see somebody

I'm in this all white, reminscin' all night, 'bout my cousin Trays
Wreakin' havoc in this rap game, so it's alright
Grandmother and my Auntie gettin' everything they need
Tray's an angel in my eyesight, a true friend in need
While I'm waitin' for heaven, I see hell and smell the flames
God send Abraham to quickly snatch me from this pain
I don't really wanna die, just need a change of scenery
I done see too many killings just like my vision is mean to me

And my eyes don't like me, and my soul wanna leave
I'm persecuted daily by my friends, it ain't easy
I do what I can do and then get down on my knees
I have so many enemies, Lord would you help me please?

Help me please
I'm blinded by my tears and I just can't see
So many devils tryin' to recycle my soul
'Cause in the ghetto where I'm from
Ain't no flies in the groves, just niggas and hoes
Send me a sign

Mhmm

Nigga fuck Precinct 5, nigga and fuck Officer Thornton Berry
Punk-ass bitches, uh
Tryin' to survive for me is like chasin' the wind
You know you ain't never gon' catch it
So why bother lettin yo' knees bend?
I try to stay around some realness
brothers and sisters holla if you feel this
If hurt and misery is who you chill with

Mo City my hood, it forever be my block
Never thought I'd see the day it'd hand me over to the cops
Where the love from my homeboys, I love y'all too
I was the tugboat to ya problems 'cause I drove y'all through
Just one question dawg, how could you do me like that?
I took your family in
I put some cash in ya pocket, made you a man again
But now it's like you never knew me
Wouldn't take the fall for y'all so now y'all wanna do me

I made it up out the hood and I ain't comin' back
Unless I'm bringin' Lil' Boss to get a hundred sack
Nigga I'm gon' do what I'm gon' do
And then get down on my knees
And make a couple of G's, but in God name
Help a nigga to succeed
