Prayin For Help - Screwed Version

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

Forever and ever, amen

Man I'm praying for help, while I'm looking at the life I left

It's kinda hard not to hate myself, but quiet is kept

Right or wrong it's just the way I felt

I might be better off praying for death, on my knees I knelt

Still tryna find a way to accept

It ain't a way that 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 try and inspire the folks you

Wanna condemn cause they sell dope

Well man show 'em the ropes, be a father or a football coach

A role model or a symbol of hope

Take another approach, instead of testifying against 'em in court

Handcuffin' 'em and closing 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 remember

I'm praying for help, asking somebody else to give me a hand

I'm trying hard but I'm only a man, man

I'm praying for help, hoping somebody else can see what I see

It's like the hood only matter to me

They got me praying for help, hoping somebody else can carry the torch

I'm all alone with no kind of support

While I was praying for help, realized I don't need nobody else

If God with me I can do it myself

I know it's only one king, one thing, one being

Only something I believe what I'd seen

But I want all my faith, I pray somehow, some way

Regardless of what anyone say, I believe one day

That I'ma change my life, get right, start living like Christ

Till the end of my fight, I'ma be defending my stripes

Till somebody come and shut off my lights

I ain't never gon' quit, no matter how good it's gon' get

And you can bet whatever on this, I'm forever gon' spit

Harder than niggas hating on Tip

You can take the weight and place it on Tip

I double my load, carry it as the trouble unfolds

Hold yours and I bet I don't fold, put that on my soul

If it take till I'm a hundred years old

Bet I'm reaching every one of my goals

I'm praying for help, asking somebody else to give me a hand

I'm trying hard but I'm only a man, man

I'm praying for help, hoping somebody else can see what I see

It's like the hood only matter to me

They got me praying for help, hoping somebody else can carry the torch

I'm all alone with no kind of support

While I was praying for help, realized I don't need nobody else

If God with me I can do it myself

So many times I done wished 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 it hard any time to say

So many are blessed with so many chances and so many checks

So many fans with so many arrests and so many deaths

So many prisons with niggas in there

And the system keep playing them to the left

Man there's so many tests, so many haters love seeing you stressed

But tribulations come with being the best

Still it's so many who flex, singing '

Bout checks when they greener than Shrek

Selling dreams, never seen in the 'jects

That's why I'm seen as a threat

So many stripes off the streets I'm a vet

But so many rappers get so little respect

Now they just fake on the shelf

Cause of the cards that a nigga was dealt

Or the heart that a nigga done dealt

So many niggas done left

Out of the hood, made a way for theyself

Instead of giving back, they stay for theyself

So many playing theyself

Instead of reading, educating theyself

The ones who won't even pray for theyself

They got me praying for help

I'm praying for help, asking somebody else to give me a hand

I'm trying hard but I'm only a man, man

I'm praying for help, hoping somebody else can see what I see

It's like the hood only matter to me

They got me praying for help, hoping somebody else can carry the torch

I'm all alone with no kind of support

While I was praying for help, realized I don't need nobody else

If God with me I can do it myself
