Lord Help Us

Our world is hopeless, and we have no where to go

Our children are hungry, and we can't feed the poor

Were really hopeless, spread some love before

And love that and hold in

Lord I really miss my friends

Lord please help us

Now as I walk through the streets I see many people under pressure

Cause uh life ain't easy and you know this world gon' test ya

My daddy told me C one day you gon' be faced with this problem

And you and only you must find the knowledge to solve it

My momma said Lord gives us tests to measure our faith

And if you really believe in God, then you shall smile on judgement day

Cause at the crossroads ain't no hunger, and every man the same color

And when it's my time to open 'em gates cause uh

I really miss my brother

And you the only man that can judge me

So please guide me to the right direction

And why can't I put this gun up and use my Bible for protection

And it's an everyday struggle, don't expect nothing to change in a week

But Lord help us in this hopeless world

Cause I don't wanna die in the streets

Now I done been stop shedding tears, now my eyes bleed when they cry

And I never understand why, everybody gotta die

And everything that's born gotta go, and I really think that's a shame

And I'm so tired of reminiscin'

Trying to put a face to a name

You put my grandfather in my life, and then you took him away

Yeah, big daddy used to drink but uh, he gave me a place to stay

And many kids starving overseas, and even right here on my block

My auntie told me in the year 2000 that the world was gon' stop

Now I don't wanna question you Lord, but is violence really the answer

And if not, then how come so many innocent people diein' of the cancer

Now revolations say the world gon' end, but the world ain't over yet

And it's up to us to move on, but in our hearts we'll never forget

They say God created man, and put man on this earth

And then came woman from there, and from there, there was birth

And ever since Eve gave Adam the apple, the bible's like the spell

And introduced mankind, not only to Heaven, but a place called Hell

Even though we try to repent, it's too many gangstas taking us down

My cousin tried to leave the streets, and now he laying in the ground

And Jesus died for our sins, but I wonder if he wasted his time

Cause it's 1999, and this world is still blind

Now I don't wanna lose my freedom, cause I'm this close to making it big

Now I don't know if I'm a make a difference

But I just wanna be there for my kids

Now that's a hopeless situation, when will it end, I don't know

But Lord help cause your children, ain't got no where else to go
