God, help me
I'm down on my knees, help me
I'm begging you to please help me out
You're all I've got, save me
I don't know how I'll make it
Begging you to please help me out
Can you hear me?
They had me knocked down, sent on a race, conflicts
I made hell break loose, I'm a whirlwind
Still the shit right round here, so I must stink
But I'm nothing like the waste in the dustbin,
Bout to shut it down, knocking down everybody's door
Different sort of madness, and there's never been a cure
Back like I left something, when I visited before
Where's Tinie, holes that I'm looking for? (Yeah)
From the late 80's, some call me Tinch, close ones call me Kwasi
Floating above, like I've never heard of gravity
Brainstorm, trialling them out, help me
Yeah, and I'm asking you to save me,
Losing the screws in my head, I'm going crazy.
Hundred percent, why you giving them fifty?
I am the fool LP Slim Shady,
I'm screaming
God, help me
I'm down on my knees, help me
I'm begging you to please help me out
You're all I've got, save me
I don't know how I'll make it
Begging you to please help me out
Can you hear me?
Yeah,
And there's more where it comes from,
And I'm hoping this reaches your eardrum
Money can't buy this, not even a lump some
Can you hear me?
Yeah,
And there's more where it comes from,
And I'm hoping this reaches your eardrum
Money can't buy this, not even a lump some
See I scope, aim, and I'm taking out the targets,
Girls with the lifestyle, money with the chart hits,
I don't wanna hear you pressing any charges,
Ask world, I am going in the hardest.
Funny how this world change round,
Some girls said 'no' and now they chase me down
Now my enemies have gotta face me, how?
Gotta fire right back and got 'em like that and they're screaming
"Hear me"
In my head she was the perfect picture,
Then I drove past and saw her shopping in La Senza,
That same night I had her leaning in a beamer
Scored a long shot, but she's far from a keeper,
Got my head screwed on, tryna pick a brain
And I promised my fam I will never change,
So I'm messing round with notes, never change.
Coming for the presidence, f-ck who nominates
I've come this far, I do this so hard,
And what is it all for?
So I call to you, it's all I can do,
You know that I need your love, right now
God, help me
I'm down on my knees, help me
I'm begging you to please help me out
You're all I've got, save me
I don't know how I'll make it
Begging you to please help me out
Can you hear me?
Yeah,
And there's more where it comes from,
And I'm hoping this reaches your eardrum
Money can't buy this, not even a lump some
Can you hear me?
Yeah,
And there's more where it comes from,
And I'm hoping this reaches your eardrum
