Temptation (Live From Soundwaves)

This just the way I feel

Mind's been racing so long yeah

Its just no way to deal

With these problems alone

I really can't take it no more

I've been fighting temptations my Lord

Im 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 Ive been puttin in these hours

Government been tryna take away what's ours

Really all about the money and the power

I just wanna see my people empowered

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

People enslaved by they religion

Cant emancipate them from the mental prisons

Seen through optics transform to wisdom

Watch me use my prophets get 'em all to listen

I've been on a mission ah

I really can't take it no more

I've been fighting temptations my Lord

Im 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 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

Tell me how we gon' make a living

Hustle on the block who gon' save the children

Man it's all a plot and I'm just revealing

The media just tryna make a villain

I just take the pain and 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

I really can't take it no more

I've been fighting temptations my Lord

Im 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

This just the way I feel

Mind's been racing so long yeah

Its just no way to deal

With these problems alone

I really can't take it no more

I've been fighting temptations my Lord

Im 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
