I need somebody, won't you help me
I need somebody, won't you tell me who I am
I've been living a lie so long it seems I've lived a lifetime
If you could see what I feel it'd make your ghetto look like Heaven
And I believe it stems down from my family situation
I never liked my old man
I couldn't stand to be around him
Sometimes I sit all alone just staring at his picture, yeah
My heart turns to stone and I think of this
I need somebody, won't you help me
I need somebody, won't you tell me who I am
You never loved me, you never held me tight
Instead you shook me like a fist to wake me up at night
You tried to make me think that your ways were best
When all I was was an outlet for all your stress
Life: it's the ultimate sin
A game with no rules that you're expected to win
My personal Hell's hidden with a grin
Dad, take the stand and let the trial begin
You said that oil and water don't mix, though it seems cool
Keep with your own and don't fuck up our gene pool
You should've went to school like your bigger brother
But you played the fool with a different color
Running ship with a whip
I tried to keep up but I kept getting tripped
Money made you so wise
How could you look through my face and not see your own eyes
Do as I say and not as I do
But I can't cause when I look in the mirror I see you
And oh the pain how it hurts
It was always your home and your business that came first
You said a man is as good as his word
But your mind was closed and mine never heard
My visions blurred, thoughts obscured
And with my blinders down I strayed from the herd
They say the nut don't fall far from the tree
Look at you then look at me
I need somebody, won't you tell me who I am
I've been living a lie so long it seems I've lived a lifetime
If you could see what I feel it'd make your ghetto look like Heaven
And I believe it stems down from my family situation
I never liked my old man
I couldn't stand to be around him
Sometimes I sit all alone just staring at his picture, yeah
My heart turns to stone and I think of this
I need somebody, won't you help me
I need somebody, won't you tell me who I am
You never loved me, you never held me tight
