"Show Me Something" lyrics

What am I here for?
I'm a man so I cannot let them tears fall
But understand tryna get my head clear y'all
This shit is on my mind
Asking for the Lord to show me all my signs
Show me something, uh
'Cause I'm tryna find something, uh
I'm lost, can you show me something? Uh
I'm lost, can you show me something? Yeah

Uh, yeah
I sit and reminisce on them niggas no longer here (Rest in peace)
And how I used to hit the mall and y'all was always there (Yeah)
I sit and think how I ain't grow up with my father there (Yeah)
No need to cry 'cause it only made me stronger yeah (Uh huh)
I watch my brother get in trouble with the law and yeah (Uh)
That shit cut me like I was sitting in a barber chair (Uh)
'Cause I don't wanna see him locked up in them bars in there (Yeah, yeah)
And I don't wanna see him stretched out in a coffin yet (Uh)
I'm wishing I can move my mamma out so far from here (So far from here)
I know that she deserve much better, she worked hard as hell (She worked hard as hell)
That's why you never see me settle 'cause they want us here (They want us here nigga)
I'm tryna sidestep the devil but he heartless yeah (He heartless)
But just know that I'm a rebel and yo it's almost here (It's almost here)
I'm talking 'bout the revolution, I am Paul Revere (I am Paul Revere, yeah)
So dry your eyes, mamma please you can pause them tears (Pause them tears)
'Cause I promise I'm gon' get us outta here (I'm gon' get us outta here)
I'm gonna get us outta here

What am I here for?
I'm a man so I cannot let them tears fall
But understand tryna get my head clear y'all
This shit is on my mind
Asking for the Lord to show me all my signs
Show me something, uh
'Cause I'm tryna find something, uh
I'm lost, can you show me something? Uh
I'm lost, can you show me something? Yeah

Yeah
I swear I'm praying for my niggas when I say grace (Yeah)
I know them niggas don't care who they hit, they spray strays (Uh)
But Lord please protect my family 'cause if they graze (Nah)
Niggas is loading up that ammi and them AKs (Uh huh)
I know it's wrong and that revenge is all in yo' hands (Yeah)
But last night I heard they robbed and killed a old man (Damn)
Now if they cold enough to take a life that's innocent (Uh huh)
I know that they could give a fuck whether I live and shit (Uh huh)
And so I'm asking you if you can hold me down, Lord (Please)
Be my umbrella-ella-ella in this downpour (Uh huh)
I know you'd never-ever-ever let me drown or (Nah)
Won't let that devil-evil-evil win this round naw (Never)
And though I stray from you, you know that my heart is good (Yeah)
And I know I ain't exactly living how I prob'ly should (Ha-ha)
And I'm a try to act better like it's Hollywood (Hollywood)
Niggas congratulate me, I just tell 'em God is good (I just tell 'em God is good)
God is good

What am I here for?
I'm a man so I cannot let them tears fall
But understand tryna get my head clear y'all
This shit is on my mind
Asking for the Lord to show me all my signs
Show me something, uh
'Cause I'm tryna find something, uh
I'm lost, can you show me something? Uh
I'm lost, can you show me something? Yeah

Uh, yeah, my niggas drug dealing in the trap
I'm tellin' you wake up nigga, it's a trap, you set up
And to them young mothers fed up, just keep your head up
Don't let up, you fall you get up
You make your bed up that you sleep in
Fake rappers ain't practicing what they're preaching (Nah)
They tell you hit the trap while they're relaxing on the beach and
I'm here to spit the facts, a nigga backflip ed off the deep end
And smell this shit for what it is
Not Kells but I love the kids (But I love the kids)
And so I make the songs that let 'em know that they're important (Yeah)
'Cause them racist teachers couldn't give a fuck 'bout what their score is (Nope)
So they tryna get them hands up on them Grants like Horace
Now they're slanging, 'fore you know it cops is knocking, they got warrants, damn!
Uh, and now he running for it, damn! (Yeah)
Yeah, and now the cops is running for him, damn! (Yeah)
Yeah, and now he finally slowing down
Hands behind your head, lay down on the ground, nigga, uh

What am I here for?
I'm a man so I cannot let them tears fall
But understand tryna get my head clear y'all
This shit is on my mind
Asking for the Lord to show me all my signs
Show me something, uh
'Cause I'm tryna find something, uh
I'm lost, can you show me something? Uh
I'm lost, can you show me something? Yeah
