Temptation

Bbm Fm Bbm Ebm Bbm
I come here today to talk about how 
I feel
And I feel like that we are treated 
differently than other people
And I don't like how we’re treated
Just because of our color doesn't 
mean anything to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Gb              Fm   Ebm
This just the way I feel
Ebm                      Bbm
Mind's been racing so long, yeah
Gb             Fm
It’s just no way to deal
Ebm         Bbm
With these problems alone

[Chorus]
Gb                         Bbm
And I really can't take it no more
Fm
I've been fighting temptations, my 
Lord
Ebm
I'm young and I'm restless
(And I really can't help it)
Gb
I never felt selfish before
Fm
I've been living so reckless, I know
Ebm
Tell me Lord, can you help me?
Bbm
(I said Lord, can you help me?)

Strugglin’, my momma on her last 
dollar

this vision
Fm
Complainin' all day, but in the same
 condition
Ebm
If you wanna make change, it's gon' 
take commitment
