Self Help
Timothy McGimpsey

Verse 1
Never thought I’d see the day when life pushed me to cut,
I had stress upon my mind, and pain up in my gut,
Dreams of making it snow so it can rain “In God We Trust”,
Yeah in God we trust until fear rises in us,
Assalamu Alaikum I’m allergic to bacon,
He said, I ain’t got no worries you be looking Caucasian,
And with the plans in the making, even the feds couldn’t shake him,
With the money we’re making it’s worth the risk you’d be taking,

Chorus
Lord please help me find a way,
I’m slipping,
Tell me what’s going on,
I’m trying to stay strong,
Keep out of all wrong, (ooh)
I can’t help myself, I’m always trying,
Always trying to help myself,
I know that you’re right; You’re all I’ve got left,
I’m needing your help, So I don’t screw my life up,

Verse 2
He said, I’m turning fives into twenty’s, got a shop and some tools,
So Tim are you riding with me, I said my name isn’t Tim,
Before I opened my mouth I said I know that I want to, But I ‘ve gotta think about,
If I’m ready to go, to leave all that I know, Chasing dreams in the snow,
Gambling with my soul, I’ve got a son on the way, why am I thinking this way,
In these desperate days I lift my eyes and I pray,
