Maxwell — Help Somebody Remix

[Verse 1: Maxwell] There's a moving inner peace that I love to see Gotta raise my soul to tell you how I feel Gotta listen to the tears that people cry for me In a world that's so wild, fear creeps [Pre-Chorus: Maxwell] 'Cause when I get up to hear you, tears just fill my eyes Now I know I got to let the selfishness subside Tell 'em y'all [Chorus: Maxwell] Help somebody, help somebody Show 'em what it is, give a little bit more Oh, help somebody, help somebody Show 'em what it is, let 'em know [Post-Chorus: Maxwell] If you see the future, ask it if I'm there Ask it if I'm there [Verse 2: Maxwell] Ask it to tell you did I ever make a stand (Help somebody) Ask if you may care to mention, did I learn from everything? (Help somebody) And even if it takes a sea of eternity to know (Help somebody) I'll wait a century, a buried mess of bones, help me (Help somebody) [Pre-Chorus] Help me to give myself the way that you've given you (Help somebody) Oh, help me to be the helping hand that makes a dream come true Choir, sing [Chorus: Maxwell] Help somebody, help somebody (Ooh, ooh) Show 'em what it is, give a little bit more Ooh, help somebody, help somebody Show 'em what it is, let 'em know [Bridge: Maxwell] If I'm there, yea, oh Tell me if I'm there Do you see me there? Do you see me there? [Chorus: Maxwell] People, help somebody, help somebody Show 'em what it is, give a little bit more Oh, help somebody, help somebody Show 'em what it is, let 'em know [Post-Chorus: Maxwell] If you see the future, ask it if I'm there Ask it if I'm there [Interlude: Nas] Yeah, yeah My degree's like Ivy League in the street I succeeded, the ghetto was my Garden of Eden It was hard to defeat him, the Beast He tried to turn the god in to a heathen, check it [Verse 3: Nas] See the Black Madonna picture, that lady holding a baby? As I looked in her eyes, what I saw did amaze me New Orleans under water, screaming, "Somebody save me" Immigrants at the border treated wronger than Dalo-Faelid In India, there's plenty of poor crying babies Back at the home front, jobs wanted like crazy Me, I'm never selfish, indeed help the helpless Looking at the sky for Almighty, can you help us? I can't stress what I can't control Heart of a street hustler, Panther soul As I sit on the throne What's not in the stars, I just let it go Favorite Golf linen clothes So I pray to God ... that a new plan unfolds I got a saying and it goes "I started in the projects, now look what I accomplished" There's ain't nobody helped me, it's nonsense I'm just honored to be in this position The best feeling that I ever had is when I'm giving Listen
