What Are The Lyrics For Temptation By Joey Bada$$?
I come here to talk about how I feel
And I feel like that we are treated differently than other people And I don't like how we are treated Just because of our colour, doesn't mean anything to me This just the way I feel Mind's been racing so long It's just no way to deal With these problems alone And I really can't take it no more I be fighting temptations, my Lord I'm making them 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 ain't no way to solve 'em I really came up from the bottom Strugglin', my momma on her last dollar Hustling man I've been putting in these hours The government been trying to take away what's ours It's really all about the money and the power I just wanna see my people in power Uh, uh, 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 Some people enslaved by they religion Can't emancipate the fundamental prisons When I see through optics, transform the wisdom Watch me use my powers, get 'em all to listen I've been on a mission, ah! And I really can't take it no more I be fighting temptations, my Lord I'm making them 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 vice (vice), yeah But wouldn't know what good advice was (advice was) Uh, until they leave him lifeless Another momma crying, it's another crisis Lord knows we just trying to live righteous Are you willing just to make the sacrifices? I know we can't continue living like this And I never sell my soul because that's priceless Uh, uh tell me how we gon' make a living Hustle on the block who gon' save the children? Menace on the block and I'm just revealing The media just trying to make a villain I just take the pain and a 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! And I really can't take it no more I be fighting temptations, my Lord I'm making them 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 It's just no way to deal With these problems alone And I really can't take it no more I be fighting temptations, my Lord I'm making them restless (I said Lord, can you help me?) 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?) Do not stop We are black people and we shouldn't have to feel like this We shouldn't have to protest because y'all are treating us wrong We do this because we need to have rights |
