1997 Lyrics by JVCK (@YOUNGJACKYOUNG)

So Help Me God

2018

[Verse 1]
’97 inauguration
Steady waiting, trusting patience
Don’t need a motherfucking deal to be an artist, that is what I call true information
Fuck an alternative fact
Lies that turn all of us back
Nobody needs that
Sick of these idiots thinking that there is no attack on Black
Children, women, and men
But to begin -
Our way to tranquil ends
I believe we must befriend
Every human
No matter race or religion
Been dying to play my part
Hopefully, this is a start
Only way I know is art
Fearing I won’t leave a mark
I’m thinking I found a spark
Time’s ticking and life is short
I think women should have rights to abor-
Tion (Shun) anybody that might disagree
I do not give an “f” a “u” or a “c”
Or even a “k”
And Satan, no, not today
Although I can see the flames
Politicians and their games
Millennials aren’t to blame
I believe that we are the change

[Hook]
Disarming malice (disarming malice)
Hold up your chalice (hold up your chalice)
Throne in the palace (throne in the palace)
Living it up is all that really matters (living it up is all that really matters)

[Verse 2]
I say Tomcat wasn’t pretty cuz he got a taste of the really little itty bitty kitty
Really little itty bitty kitty had to get a way to keep the litter from finding out he was gay
Everything gone in a day
Nothing to say
What would you do in his place?
What would you say to his face?
Would you greet him or spray Mace?
Praying for days
Of peace of mind, heart, and soul
Gotta be bold
In the world where we are told
Suck it in, paint your lips, question nothing, and just sit back and let destiny take control
’Scuse me, I don’t understand
Being life’s bitch isn’t in my plans
Step back, then take a step forward
Privileged I am to even get so bored
Millennials against misogyny
Praise Colin Kaepernick for taking knees
God blessed be the world that we inhabit
Make finding the silver lining a new habit
Republican pedophiles being voted into office
Guess what I’ve had - it
Yes, ma’am, I stole all the wigs
Fuck Tomcat, he’s such a bitch

[Hook]
Disarming malice (disarming malice)
Hold up your chalice (hold up your chalice)
Throne in the palace (throne in the palace)
Living it up is all that really matters (living it up is all that really matters)

[Verse 3]
Life is such a funny thing that I have yet to figure out
Been on a mission to see what the fuss is all about
Footprints left in the sand - they are gonna wash away
Don’t know how I made it here, but somehow I found a way
When Amy died, I felt a fire burning within
To live a life without the battles I don’t even need to win
She made me wanna take better care of myself
And to never be afraid of asking for help
I try my best to never judge a book by its cover
If one day I become famous, I’m going undercover
Tomorrow is another day, and I cannot wait
Obstacles are just opportunities to be great

[Hook]
Disarming malice (disarming malice)
Hold up your chalice (hold up your chalice)
Throne in the palace (throne in the palace)
Living it up is all that really matters (living it up is all that really matters)
