[Verse 1]

Blade against the boulder’s weight

Showing a player’s poker face when holding your cards

Blaze in the coldest days and never fold or break

Cuz that’s a soldier’s only way of showing they’re hard?

Hard’s mowing in the dark at the crack of dawn

Then going to work dirty with grass from the back lawn

Knowing turning thirty’s mighty early to pass on

But gasping for breath when cashing checks with the tax gone

Hard’s raising your seed, paying the lease

Daily straying from beef and praying for peace

Maybe taking heat just to say what you mean

When you’ve seen the biggest hypocrites keep making that green

Hard’s remaining clean shaking hands in filthy countries

Abandoning the hungry till a man gets killed for money

Finding milk and honey in a pack that the blind lead

Which is exactly why the rhyme on my sign reads...

[Hook]

Help wanted, cuz we need one another

Can’t do it myself, so I’m reaching for my brother

Dwelled on it, but stopped speaking in whispers

Talk on how I’ve felt, releasing it to my sister

Help wanted, cuz we need one another

Can’t do it myself, so I’m reaching for my brother

Dwelled on it, but stopped speaking in whispers

Talk on how I’ve felt, releasing it to my sister

[Verse 2]

Make no bones about it, I got a bone to pick

Cuz that skeleton in my closet got lonely quick

Motivated my lazy bones to pick it bone dry

But Most High knows I couldn’t do it on my own try

So why not confide in the fam when you suffer

None can extend a helping hand like a brother

Uncover friends who lend ears as listeners

Paint a clear picture of your fears to a sister

Steer past the blisters, break bread and gutter

Violence stays fed without guidance from a brother

Lately you fight to invite crisis fist-first

Dismissing plain-told advice from a sister

Don’t remain prisoner when you hold the gate key

A would-be escapee who makes excuses daily

It’s truly crazy to pay the wage it’s taking

Which is exactly why the phrase on my page reads...

[Hook]

Help wanted, cuz my goal’s the top

So I rock and roll and then I roll my rock

Like Sisyphus but with a little assistance

To go the distance, when I blow the spot

Help wanted, cuz my goal’s the top

So I rock and roll and then I roll my rock

Like Sisyphus but with a little assistance

To go the distance, though the road is blocked

[Verse 3]

I try to spit positive even if my life’s the opposite

Cuz a broader lens shows it’s obvious I got a lot to give

You, bro, I know I’m not always on top of it

But when I rock for kids, it’s important I talk confident

Like prophets did when the topics were unpopular

Lost too many minutes with the cynics and philosophers

Who taught that God’s a myth cuz they’re locked in loneliness

The truth is each human is a beautiful broken gift

Who opens this heart in the arms of a lover?

Or lays down his arms before harming a brother

Who prays now for his moms and the one who hits her?

And that stray sounds don’t reach his younger sister

Through thunder, twisters, blizzards and typhoons

We hunger to feed the light like high noon

That every tree needs to proceed and grow leaves

Which is exactly why the quote in my notes reads...
