Something Out Of Nothing Lyrics
Well if there's one thing that I know, it's easy to kill what's hard to grow One thing I might say, no one's gotta know about running away Trying to make something out of nothing Leaning hard on yet another drug All of these temptations keep me wanting to feel your touch It's not supposed to make you feel so Helpless, selfless, crying for some tenderness I miss your kiss, impossible to resist Find some budget to support my habit Suffering an under-dose of love All of these temptations keep wanting the sky above Oh my desperate disposition keeps me bitching, keeps me wishing Wishing for some shelter from within There ain't nothi

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 thine 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 fans I touched
I ask how can a man that’s done so much
Be treated so unjust
Cause I’m tryin to inspire da folks
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

City Lights Lyrics
A bright array of city lights as far as I can see. The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me. The cabaretes and honky tonks their flashing signs invite, A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights. Lights that say forget her name in a glass of cherry wine. Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine. They paint a pretty picture of a world that's gay and bright, But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights. [ fiddle - steel ] The world was dark and God made stars to brighten up the night, But I don't believe that God above, made those city lights, Or it's just a place for m
en you wonder why they don’t care no moreA bright array of city lights as far as I can see. The great white way shines through the night for lonely guys like me. The cabaretes and honky tonks their flashing signs invite, A broken heart to lose itself in the glow of city lights. Lights that say forget her name in a glass of cherry wine. Lights that offer other girls for empty hearts like mine. They paint a pretty picture of a world that's gay and bright, But it's just a mask for loneliness behind those city lights.

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
Realized 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
Without seein 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 than niggaz hatin on TIP
You can take the weight and place it on TIP
I'll 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
Everybody's Reaching Out For Someone Lyrics
Everybody's reaching out for someone everybody's knocking at some door And long before I ever found you you're the one that I was reaching for Just like the trees along the river bend lift up their branches to the sun above We spent our lifetimes reaching for a friend cause everybody need someone to love Everybody's reaching out... [ guitar ] I wanted you since the day my life began I've heard your footsteps running just beyond my mind Ever since that moment I've been reaching for your hand Hoping you'd be reaching out for mine Everybody's reaching out... You're the one that I was reaching for
I’m 100 years oldEverybody's reaching out for someone everybody's knocking at some door And long before I ever found you you're the one that I was reaching for Just like the trees along the river bend lift up their branches to the sun above We spent our lifetimes reaching for a friend cause everybody need someone to love Everybody's reaching out... [ guitar ] I wanted you since the day my life began I've heard your footsteps running just beyond my mind Ever since that moment I've been reaching for your hand Hoping you'd be reaching out for mine Everybody's reaching out... You're the one that I was reaching for
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
Realized I don’t need nobody else
If God with me I can do it myself
(Tired of just prayin for help)
(Verse 3)
So many 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
Only so many are blessed with
So many chances, so many checks
So many fans with so many arrests
And it’s been so many deaths
So many prisons with niggaz 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
Still there's so many reflects, singin bout Tecs
Winnin, green and the trickz?
Sellin dreams that never seen in the jex?
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
BLESS THE CHILD "I was born amidst the purple waterfalls. I was weak, yet not unblessed. Dead to the world. Alive for the journey. One night I dreamt a white rose withering, a newborn drowning a lifetime loneliness. I dreamt all my future. Relived my past. A witnessed the beauty of the beast" Where have all the feelings gone? Why has all the laughter ceased? Why am I loved only when I'm gone? Gone back in time to bless the child How can I ever feel again? Given the chance would I return? Why am I loved only when I'm gone? Gone back in time to bless the child Think of me long enough to make a memory Come bl
Cause of the cards that a nigga was dealt
Or the hard that a nigga done dealt
So many niggaz that left
Out of the hood
Made a way for theyself
Instead of givin back they stay for theyself
So many playin theyself
Instead of reading educating theyselves
The ones who won’t pray for theyself, they 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
Realized 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
Realized 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
