[Intro]
Lord help me. Save me, save me
Lord save me, save me, save me
[Chorus: Down and Out Sequence]
I've been losing my mind
And I've been losing my friends
I've been losing my mind
And I've been losing me
I've been losing my mind
And I've been losing my friends
I've been losing my mind
I've been, I've been, I've been down and out
I've been, I've been, I've been down and out
[Verse 1]
Getting high on occasion but the lows come frequent
Now I'm staying in no fun on the weekends
Thoughts spilling out and the pain still bleeding
I'm feeling alone now
D'evils teaching me how to do things wrong now
I try to be strong but these demons keep eating at me
Whipping and slashing they really taking a beating at me
Walking through the valley of d**h
Been choking myself out but I gotta catch my breath
Mama always told me to go to church
But she ain't tell that my soul would have to ever go through hurt
Lord forgive me, I know that I strayed from the path
Cuz d'evils been giving me hell bringing me wrath
Voices in my head, voices in my head
I hear 'em when I'm walking around
I hear 'em when I'm laying down, down, down, down
See nightmares on Elm Street
Freddy showing no mercy
It's all in my head but this sh** still hurt me
Voices they be haunting me
D'evils laughing in my face they been taunting me
I could see a glimpse of the light but I shy away
Instead of facing my problems I just hide away
I've been hiding, hiding, hiding
I've been hiding
I've been down and out
[Sample]
[BRIDGE TO V2]
The devil is a lie but I feel it in my system
I became a victim from all this trippin'
The devil is a lie but I feel it in my system
I became a victim from all this trippin'
V2
I'm losing my mind
I'm losing my soul
Tried to hold on but I gotta let go
Sippin' henny and jack, smoking weed like its crack
I'm addicted, I'm addicted
Mary Jane Mary Jane
Please don't leave me I'm glad that you came
To me during these dark times
I'm separated from realities of apartheid
I'm a slave to my own grave, I'm k**ing myself
Been getting too co*ky these days I been feeling myself
But ain't no love for the underdog
Lately I've been down I've been under dog
I've been smoking too much lately
Thoughts in my mind so hazy
Please somebody save me
Somebody save me
I hope that you hear me
Somebody save me
Oh lord, can you save me?
[Bridge: The Outwitting Conscience]
D'evils can't keep me boxed in
You can't stop me, you can't stop me (x4)
Float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee
Rest in peace to Muhammad Ali (x2)
I float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee
Rest in peace to Muhammad Ali
Float like a bu*terfly, sting like a bee
Rest in peace to Muhammad Ali
[Verse 2]
I thank god for the souls that believe in me
And helped lift me up when I was down in the demons
It's seeming that I'ma have to be the reason to prosper
I gotcha
The devil is a lie so it's right that I stay true
I stay strong don't let these demons phase you
What's done in the darkness shall come to light
Through it all I'm glad I have God in sight
[Chorus: Thank You Sequence]
I've found myselfffff
Oh I found my soul
I've found myself
Oh I thank you Lord
I've found myself
Oh I found my soul
I've found myselfffff
Oh I thank you, I thank you Lord
Oh I thank you, I thank you Lord
