Teddy Pendergrass
Can’t Help Nobody
[Spoken Intro]
Yeah bruh, I gotta get this job soon
I got a little girl
Car note is due
They gone take my car
Fam, fam is tired of me
What's up man, what's up man
What's going on brother
What's up with this line man
There's a lot of unemployed people bruh
Hey bruh, I'm here like everybody else
I gots to get a job
Man I can't help nobody but myself

[Verse 1]
The world's in a bad way today
See there's trouble everywhere
Things ain't like they suppose to be, no
No no, (tell him Tеddy)
I got to say that my rents due Monday
And can't pay my bills
I worried my poor sеlf crazy till I [?]
Went to the bank and I couldn't get a loan
I dream of saving the world
But I can't take care of home
You know it's hard to make it in this land
Even though we tried the best we can
How can land with so much clout
Have people still without
Won't ya'll help me sing and shout
[Chorus]
(Can't help nobody) till we help ourselves
(Can't help nobody) till we help ourselves
(Can't help nobody) till we help ourselves
(Can't help nobody) till we help ourselves
Can't help nobody else; can't help nobody else

[Verse 2]
See there's so many homeless people living in the streets
And little babies without anything to eat
[?]
Let's look out at state of the world today
People crying out for the bare necessities
To fill their hungry desires
To be what they want to be
It's so natural to wanna help someone else

[Chorus]
(Can't help nobody) till we help ourselves
(Can't help nobody) till we help ourselves
(Can't help nobody) till we help ourselves
(Can't help nobody) till we help ourselves
Can't help nobody else; can't help nobody else

[Outro]
Say there's too many homeless people
Just living in the streets
I don't know if anybody has enough food
And enough food that they can eat
Why is it that some people can stay and others have to go
We can't be blind and pretend that we don't know
I'm tired [?] seeing another politicians giving himself a rise
We have to prioritize
If we all expect to make it these days
Things have to change
Things have got to change
(Can't help nobody)
God will look at us
Till we help ourselves
