Honesty Is a Luxury

Another day, another struggle, tryna keep me out of trouble

It's a rough world, oh, yeah

Your color counts for nothing, tryna make a little something

Tell me, what can I do?

Seems like I was plannin' with loaded dice

Heck, the funds gives me lots of worry and strife

Standin' in the rain, tryin' not to feel the pain

There must be something I can do

I'm seein' tonight a ball, see a wallet on the table

I wonder, should I take it? Might not have the chance later

Never done it before, somebody steppin' in the door

Stop thinkin', grab it, I'm movin' on, yeah

I need some help

I need some help, yeah

Help me, please

Help me, please

Honesty is luxury, yeah

Honesty is luxury, yeah, yeah

Rather hurt this time

I do what I got to do, yeah

You would do it if you were in my shoes

I looked on out and dropped my feet,

Tryna find a way just to make ends meet

Wanna, but he wonder, how you me can find a job?

Tell me, what's the use?

Say I'm a thief, but I'm goin' strong

Words easier to say when your body's nice and warm

Standin' in the rain, tryin' not to feel the pain

There must be something I can do

Then I thought of your call, he's behind you running

As it happens, I'm walkin' by, wasn't plannin' on nothing

In a half-second, to me, you said, "I'm steppin' on the gas"

Thing is, six months of over, is a problem of the past, yeah

I need some help

I need some help

Help me, please

Help me, please

Honesty is luxury, yeah

Honesty is luxury, yeah, yeah

Say, I can't afford

Runnin' at this time

I do what I got to do, yeah

Do it, too, do it, too, if you were in my shoes
