Текст Raheem DeVaughn, The Colleagues, Mike Phillips, Doug E. Fresh — Lawd Help Me

[Intro]
It’s the G.O.A.T (Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord)
I always say every superhero has a superpower
Every artist has a specific gift
They have their own way of approaching it
And to me, it seem like the way that you’re approachin’ it
You know, and I watched your vocal style evolve to the point that it is now
So I feel like, you know, you have really defined
You know, what energy you bringing to the table
You know, I hear, I hear

[Verse 1]
I see babies filled with bullets from a drive-by (Drive-by, uh, yeah)
Another hashtag, seen another mama cry (Black-on-black crime)
It seem like еver since, uh, The Birth of a Nation
Wе’ve been treated lesser than and denied reparations (Right, right)

[Pre-Chorus]
It make me wanna flip
They tamper with my vote, I call it politricks
Disrespect our life with a stop and frisk
And kill the Black man in 8:46
A sign of the times, the mark of the beast
‘Til there’s justice, there’ll be no peace (Woo)

[Chorus]
Oh, Lord, Most High, help me (Uh, uh)
Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

[Verse 2]
There’s lead in the water and polluted clouds, Lord (Lord, Lord)
Recession and depression, unemployment’s on the rise (But I feel for that connection with you, though), yeah (Yeah)
But I feel your presence, so I’m staying faithful
Yeah, I wipe the ashes off the Scriptures of Exodus (Yeah)
It make me wanna sing
‘Cause nobody knows the trouble that I’ve seen
I’m not your nigga, I was born a king
I’ve been a G and I vibrate higher

[Pre-Chorus]
It make me wanna flip
They tamper with my vote, I call it politricks
Disrespect our life with a stop and frisk
And kill the Black man in 8:46
A sign of the times, the mark of the beast (Yeah)
‘Til there’s justice, there’ll be no peace (Woo)

[Outro]
Oh, Lord (Help me, show me), Most High, help me
Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord, show me the way (Help me), help me
(I said, oh, Lord) Most High (Lord, help me)
Protect the innocence of beautiful children (I said, oh, Lord, Lord, Lord), hey, hey
I said (Help me)
From the evil (I said, oh, Lord) that they do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do (Help me)
In a world of hunger and starvation
Help every continent (Help me), yeah
(I said, oh, Lord) And every nation (Lord, help me), yeah
(I said, oh, Lord, Lord, Lord) ‘Cause the world is still, uh, a beautiful place where, I (Help me)
But when I see Mother Nature (I said, oh, Lord), then I smoke all my trees, yeah, yeah (Help me)
I said Lord, Lord, Lord
In the name of America, in the name of Allah (Help me), huh
(I said, oh Lord, Lord) Yeah
In the name of Africa (Lord, help me), in the name of Jah, huh
(I said, oh, Lord, Lord, Lord) For a world of peace
A world of love (Help me), oh-oh
(I said, oh, Lord) Help me, help me, help me, help me, Lord
(Help me)
