[00:00.000] 作词 : Jo-Vaughn Virginie/Kirlan Labarrie/Adam Pallin
[00:01.19]I come here today to talk about how I feel
[00:04.82]And I feel like that we are treated differently than other people
[00:09.56]And I don't like how we’re treated
[00:14.09]Just because of our color doesn't mean anything to me
[00:19.38]This just the way I feel
[00:23.36]Mind's been racing so long, yeah
[00:28.34]It’s just no way to deal
[00:32.47]With these problems alone
[00:34.76]
[00:35.87]And I really can't take it no more
[00:38.07]I've been fighting temptations, my Lord
[00:40.21]I'm young and I'm restless
[00:42.05](And I really can't help it)
[00:45.18]I never felt selfish before
[00:47.08]I've been living so reckless, I know
[00:49.51]Tell me Lord, can you help me?
[00:51.76](I said Lord, can you help me?)
[00:53.11]
[00:54.60]Now everybody got problems, yeah
[00:56.60]But wouldn't know what way to solve ’em
[00:58.74]I really came up from the bottom
[01:00.83]Strugglin’, my momma on her last dollar
[01:02.97]Hustlin' and I’ve been puttin' in these hours
[01:05.36]The government been tryna take away what's ours
[01:07.56]It's really all about the money and the power
[01:09.80]I just wanna see my people empowered
[01:12.14]Uh, uh, tell me how we gon’ shape this vision
[01:15.18]Complainin' all day, but in the same condition
[01:17.42]If you wanna make change, it's gon' take commitment
[01:20.16]Some people enslaved by they religion
[01:22.00]Can't emancipate them from the mental prisons
[01:24.36]What I seen through optics transform to wisdom
[01:26.55]Watch me use my prophets, get 'em all to listen
[01:28.70]I've been on a mission, ah
[01:30.04]
[01:30.34]And I really can't take it no more
[01:32.58]I've been fighting temptations, my Lord
[01:34.58]I'm making them restless
[01:37.32](And I really can't help it)
[01:38.71]I never felt selfish before
[01:41.35]I've been living so reckless, I know
[01:43.80]Tell me Lord, can you help me?
[01:46.24](I said Lord, can you help me?)
[01:47.43]
[01:48.82]Now everybody got vices, yeah
[01:51.05]But wouldn't know what good advice is
[01:53.20]Until they leave 'em lifeless
[01:55.44]Another mama cryin', it's another crisis
[01:57.33]Lord knows we just tryna live righteous
[01:59.63]Are you willin' just to make the sacrifices?
[02:02.49]I know we can't continue livin' like this
[02:04.53]And I'll never sell my soul 'cause that's priceless, uh, uh
[02:07.81]Tell me how we gon' make a livin'
[02:09.86]Hustle on the block, who gon' save the children?
[02:12.29]Man it's all a plot and I'm just revealin'
[02:14.39]The media just tryna make a villain
[02:16.93]I just take the pain and a paint a picture
[02:19.52]Voices in my head, I hear the whispers
[02:21.16]When I feel this way, inhale the swisher
[02:23.40]Or I sip the liquor, ah
[02:24.56]
[02:24.85]And I really can't take it no more
[02:27.09]I've been fighting temptations, my Lord
[02:29.23]I'm making them restless
[02:31.03](And I really can't help it)
[02:34.26]I never felt selfish before
[02:36.46]I've been living so reckless, I know
[02:38.70]Tell me Lord, can you help me?
[02:41.04](I said Lord, can you help me?)
[02:45.12]This just the way I feel
[02:49.11]Mind's been racing so long, yeah
[02:52.89]It's just no way to deal
[02:58.08]With these problems alone
[02:59.87]
[03:01.51]And I really can't take it no more
[03:03.65]I've been fighting temptations, my Lord
[03:05.89]I'm making them restless
[03:07.98](And I really can't help it)
[03:10.37]I never felt selfish before

[03:38.71]Do not stop
[03:41.44]We are black people and we shouldn't have to feel like this
[03:44.33]We shouldn't have to protest because you are treating us wrong
[03:48.62]We do this because we need to and we have rights
