Help Me

I can't help myself

Lord it's hard to change, I can't help myself

I can't help myself, I need some help

I can't help myself

Oh I can't help myself

Just be patient

I know you waiting for me to change

I can't help myself, I need some help

I can't help myself

To these substances, I'm powerless

It's like I could never win but

I was hopeful 'bout my averages

I skipped school, hated the faculty

I ain't give a **** like I was abstinent

They killed that like a casualty

I fell in love but I was bad at it

I love drugs but I'm bad at 'em

They told me everything in moderation

Including moderation

My tolerance went up, I made accommodations

I had several girls

I stayed at all their places

All different races

All pretty faces

I smoked **** in Cali

I sip lean in Texas

Did blow in Vegas

All kinds of reckless

Lost my ex-girl

Cause I was too possessive

Thought I was playing chess

While they were playing checkers

But you get tired of the ********

Then you realize that you the culprit

I can't help myself

Lord it's hard to change, I can't help myself

I can't help myself, I need some help

I can't help myself

Oh I can't help myself

Just be patient

I know you waiting for me to change

I can't help myself, I need some help

I can't help myself

Yeah

But they still singin' along, they know all my songs

Me and authority we never got along

When you find yourself alone, how you gettin' home

And you tryna find the answer in that styrofoam

They told me I would use my brain if I had one

And that the next one worse than the last one

Bad influence always hangin' with the bad ones

Not the good ones, feel at home with the hoodlums

I just fell down, can you help me up?

My 15 seconds is already up

And now I'm here stranded

Feelin' like I'm empty handed

Why am I the only one here with an empty cup?

And me I love to put my problems on the shelf

And try to reshuffle the cards I was dealt

But then you get tired of the ********

Then you realize that you the culprit

I can't help myself

Lord it's hard to change, I can't help myself

I can't help myself, I need some help

I can't help myself

Oh I can't help myself

Just be patient

I know you waiting for me to change

I can't help myself, I need some help

I can't help myself

If you're asked "are you OK?"

You say "fine"

You say "good"

You know what does fine mean

Every time I'd ask somebody

You know "what's up?", "how you doin'?", "how you been?"

It's always "I been good, I been, I been good man"

"I'm fine, I'm alright"

We rarely tell each other, exactly what's goin' on

So, you know when people ask me like "how are you?'

And like that's the question people are gonna ask

This is the answer to that question

I can't help myself

Lord it's hard to change, I can't help myself

I can't help myself, I need some help

I can't help myself

Oh I can't help myself

Just be patient

I know you waiting for me to change

I can't help myself, I need some help

I can't help myself
