Our Father who are in Heaven Hollowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day, our daily bread And forgive us for our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us Lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory For ever, and ever, amen Man I'm prayin' for help While I'm lookin' at the life I left It's kind'a hard not to hate myself But quiet is kept right or wrong It's just the way I felt I might be better of prayin' for death On my knees I knelt Still trying to find a way to accept It ain't a way I can help nobody Till I save myself technically I'm still a slave myself I gotta climb out the grave myself Man I played myself But when I look at all the fans I touched I ask how can a man that's done so much Be treated so unjust 'cause I'm tryin' to inspire da folks Wanna condemn 'cause they sell dope Well, man show 'em the ropes Be a father a football coach a role model or a symbol of hope Take another approach Instead of testifying against 'em in court Handcuffin' 'em and closin' the door So they can be worse than before Can't you see they only do what they know Then you wonder why they don't care no more Life ain't fair I know but why I'm hated everywhere I go Next time you wanna compare my flow just know I'm prayin' for help, askin' somebody else to give me a hand I'm tryin' hard but I'm only a man Man, I'm prayin' for help Hopin' somebody else can see what I see It's like the hood only matter to me they got me prayin' for help Hopin' somebody else can carry the torch I'm all alone with no kinda support While I was prayin' for help Realized I don't need nobody else If God with me I can do it myself Tired of just prayin' for help I know it's only one king One thing, one being, only something I believe Without seein' and with all my faith I pray somehow, someway regardless of what anyone say I believe one day that I'm a change my life Get right, start livin' like Christ, till the end of my fight I'm a be defending my strife Till somebody come and shut off my lights I ain't never gone quit No matter how difficult is gonna get And you can bet whatever on this I'm forever gone spit Harder than niggaz hatin' on TIP You can take the weight and place it on TIP I'll double my load carry it as the trouble unfolds Hold yo and I bet I don't fold Put that on my soul If it takes till I'm 100 years old Bet I'm reachin' every one of my goals You know I'm prayin for help Askin' somebody else to give me a hand I'm tryin' hard but I'm only a man Man, I'm prayin' for help Hopin' somebody else can see what I see It's like the hood only matter to me they got me prayin' for help Hopin' somebody else can carry the torch I'm all alone with no kinda support While I was prayin' for help Realized I don't need nobody else If God with me I can do it myself Tired of just prayin' for help So many times I done wish that I could change my mind Change my life and leave the game behind And it's been so many days I done prayed I could find a way Find the heart and the time to say Only so many are blessed with So many chances, so many checks So many fans with so many arrests And it's been so many deaths So many prisons with niggaz in there And the system keep playin' them to the left Man it's so many test so many haters love seein' you stress But tribulations come with being the best Still there's so many reflects, singin' 'bout Tecs Winnin', green and the trickz? Sellin' dreams that never seen in the jex? That's why I'm seen as a threat So many stripes off the streets in my vest So many rappers get so little respect Man niggaz faith on the shelf 'Cause of the cards that a nigga was dealt Or the hard that a nigga done dealt So many niggaz that left out of the hood Made a way for theyself Instead of givi' back they stay for theyself So many playin' theyself Instead of reading educating theyselves The ones who won't pray for theyself They got me prayin' for help Askin' somebody else to give me a hand I'm tryin' hard but I'm only a man Man, I'm prayin' for help Hopin' somebody else can see what I see It's like the hood only matter to me They got me prayin' for help Hopin' somebody else can carry the torch I'm all alone with no kinda support While I was prayin' for help Realized I don't need nobody else If God with me I can do it myself Tired of just prayin' for help Prayin' for help, prayin' for help
