Ruler Why - The Help lyrics

[Hook] I keep myself high But I'm low I'm smellin' like pot and Old Spice But my girl don't mind when I smoke We work nights just to pick up a check We overqualified for positions we get ...and if you wanna come inside We gon' smile and guide you But we're not like you We're just the help [Verse 1] Here's a magic trick – Watch me turn this ten into A tank of gas, a six-pack, and a pack of cigs (they threw the matches in!) And now that I'm waitin' tables I got cash again in my wallet so I'm cashin' in Grabbin' my tips, addin' ‘em Doin' the math in my head Like “I'm about to half the rent So I can run up my tab again to a thousand dollars” Just like my pals in college I'm surrounded by alcoholics and that sh**'s bad for my wallet but... [Hook] I keep myself high But I'm low I'm smellin' like pot and Old Spice But my girl don't mind when I smoke We work nights just to pick up a check We overqualified for positions we get ...and if you wanna come inside We gon' smile and guide you But we're not like you We're just the help [Verse 2] Stop for a minute – Lemme take a second to just pause the pretension Yeah See, money talks, but ain't no talkin' to Benjamin And honestly That motherf**er's not my president Not representin' myself in a correct way Ain't gettin' correct paid Try to come correct the system checks you The next day So I try to make that sh** where you just Press play... And all of a sudden You're swept away to a better place ...but f** it I can't lie Gotta keep that rent paid So what do friends say in times of trials and tribulations? We fake it until we make it and We get paid So to my people in the kitchen with the dish rags To my people who be livin' off they tips made Well for the night Why don't you send a little this way? Take a minute out of your busy day and Just wave [Outro] I keep myself high But I'm low I'm smellin' like pot and Old Spice But my girl don't mind
