Praying For Help lyrics



T.I.

Prayin for Help



(T.I. Prayin) Intro

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 thou is the kingdom, the power, and the glory

For ever, and ever



(Verse 1)

Man I’m prayin for help 

While I’m lookin 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 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 mans I touched 

I ask how can a man that’s done so much

Be treated so unjust

Cause I’m tryin to survive my ????

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

And 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…



(Chorus)

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

Realize that I don’t need nobody else

If God with me I can do it myself

(Tired of just prayin for help)



(Verse 2)

I know it’s only one king

One thing, one being, only something I believe

What I see in and with all my faith

I pray somehow, someway regardless of what anyone say

I believe one day that imma change my life

Get right, start livin like Christ, till the end of my fight

Imma be defending my strife, till somebody come and shut off my lights

I ain’t never gone quit

No matter how difficult is gone get

And you can bet whatever on this

I’m forever gone spit

Harder that n…. hatin on TIP

You can take the weight and place it on TIP

Ill double my load carry it as the trouble unfolds

Hold yos and I bet I don’t fold

Put that on my soul

If it takez till I’m 100 years old

Bet I’m reachin every one of my goals

You know I’m prayin for help…



(Chorus)

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

Relax that I don’t need nobody else

If God with me I can do it myself

(Tired of just prayin for help)



(Verse 3)

Eight 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

It’s only so many a blessin

So many chances, so many checks

So many fans with so many arrests

And it’s been so many deaths 

So many prisons with n? in there

And the system keep playin them to the left

Man its so many test so many haters love seein you stress

But tribulations come with being the best

Instead of dreams I never seen the Jets

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 take from the self

Cause of the cards that a niggaz was dealt 

Or the heart that the nniggaz to death 

So many niggaz that left

Out of the hood 

Made a way for themselves

Instead of givin back they stay for themselves

So many playin theyself 

Instead of reading educating theyselves

For the ones who don’t pray for theyself got me

Prayin for help…



(Chorus)

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 the 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

Relax that I don’t need nobody else

If God with me I can do it myself

(Tired of just prayin for help)



(Refrain)

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 the 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

Realize that 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
