Help Us - Mistah F.A.B., Dj.Fresh

Look I was taught to hold doors for the elderly folks

Take your hat off when entering tattoo home

Never curse around dope did you slip

Then apologize speaking to a person look em dead in they eyes

Don’t throw rocks and hide your hand man just deal with what happened

No more lessons being taught especially in rapping

I guess these rappers all forgot that they was raised in the youth

They started lying in they songs and stop speaking the truth

Remember Babe Ruth from Pop Warner from way back when

Now we only socialize on our way to the pen

They took the conversation out the hood

No conversation means a lack of communication you know that ain’t good

No understanding be the reason why they shooting cannons

Little girl thirteen got killed right where she was standing

Innocent bystander in the ghetto

That happen everyday gotta speak to each other hello

They say they do but they never don’t

They say they will but they never won’t

They say they feel but they never felt

Instead of waiting on the help

We gotta help us help us help us

Help us help us

Born in the darkness searching for a better day

One bad move in the hood could throw your life away

So many brothers I grew up with doing life okay

Sues and bills San Quentin Jamestown Pelican Bay

Four years in the shoe turn a young boy gray

No women in the pen turned a young boy gay

Cold reality but normality not just in Cali B it’s all around the U it’s like

this Cali weed

I take a moment just to handle a lot of literature

Fans on instagram they analyze pictures bruh

Telling on yourself then crying like a victim huh

Sharing wisdom with you I’m just hoping you will listen cuz

I’m tired of seeing youngsters in the cemetery and the prison

We need to open up the vision and see where we headed

I done been to more funerals than weddings

They say they do but they never don’t

They say they will but they never won’t

They say they feel but they never felt

Instead of waiting on the help

We gotta help us help us help us

Help us help us

You said you couldn’t be a doctor or a lawyer

A criminologist a scientist a zionist and moving for brain surgeon or

chiropractor

A movie director or play writer or big time actor

Not just a rapper or a model posing with a bottle

Only seeing life as far as today what about tomorrow

Man I used to wake up hecka broke

Paraphernalia in my crib

Meaning as a kid I slept next to dope

Instead of a poem they should’ve put a stethoscope in my hands

Cause man playing spokes was next to coke

Only a couple make it

Get a scholarship tell your ATL goodness back to I need a dollar tip

Get sent home from the campus don’t hear from colleges

See your coats off in the streets won’t even acknowledge him

Look man this course is streets street corners or the street corner

Which one you choose

They say they do but they never don’t

They say they will but they never won’t

They say they feel but they never felt

Instead of waiting on the help

We gotta help us help us help us
