Temptation
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Bbm
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Bbm Fm Bbm Ebm Bbm
I come here today to talk about how I feel
And I feel like that we are treated differently than other people
And I don't like how we’re treated
Just because of our color doesn't mean anything to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Gb Fm Ebm
This just the way I feel
Ebm Bbm
Mind's been racing so long, yeah
Gb Fm
It’s just no way to deal
Ebm Bbm
With these problems alone
[Chorus]
Gb Bbm
And I really can't take it no more
Fm
I've been fighting temptations, my Lord
Ebm
I'm young and I'm restless
(And I really can't help it)
Gb
I never felt selfish before
Fm
I've been living so reckless, I know
Ebm
Tell me Lord, can you help me?
Bbm
(I said Lord, can you help me?)
[Verse 1]
Gb
Now everybody got problems, yeah
Fm
But wouldn't know what way to solve ’em
Ebm
I really came up from the bottom
Strugglin’, my momma on her last dollar
Gb
Hustlin' and I’ve been puttin' in these hours
Fm
The government been tryna take away what's ours
Ebm
It's really all about the money and the power
I just wanna see my people empowered
Gb
Uh, uh, tell me how we gon’ shape this vision
Fm
Complainin' all day, but in the same condition
Ebm
If you wanna make change, it's gon' take commitment
Some people enslaved by they religion
Gb
Can't emancipate them from the mental prisons
Fm
What I seen through optics transform to wisdom
Ebm
Watch me use my prophets, get 'em all to listen
I've been on a mission, ah
[Chorus]
Gb Bbm
And I really can't take it no more
Fm
I've been fighting temptations, my Lord
Ebm
I'm making them restless
(And I really can't help it)
Gb Bbm
I never felt selfish before
Fm
I've been living so reckless, I know
Ebm
Tell me Lord, can you help me?
(I said Lord, can you help me?)
[Verse 2]
Gb
Now everybody got vices, yeah
Bbm
But wouldn't know what good advice is
Ebm
Until they leave 'em lifeless
Another mama cryin', it's another crisis
Gb
Lord knows we just tryna live righteous
Fm
Are you willin' just to make the sacrifices?
Ebm
I know we can't continue livin' like this
Bbm
And I'll never sell my soul 'cause that's priceless, uh, uh
Gb
Tell me how we gon' make a livin'
Fm
Hustle on the block, who gon' save the children?
Ebm
Man it's all a plot and I'm just revealin'
The media just tryna make a villain
Gb
I just take the pain and a paint a picture
Fm
Voices in my head, I hear the whispers
Ebm
When I feel this way, inhale the swisher
Or I sip the liquor, ah
[Chorus]
Gb Bbm
And I really can't take it no more
Fm
I've been fighting temptations, my Lord
Ebm
I'm making them restless
(And I really can't help it)
Gb Bbm
I never felt selfish before
Fm
I've been living so reckless, I know
Ebm
Tell me Lord, can you help me?
(I said Lord, can you help me?)

[Outro]
Do not stop
Gb
We are black people and we shouldn't have to feel like this
Fm
We shouldn't have to protest because you are treating us wrong
Ebm Db
We do this because we need to and we have rights
