Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Softer skin, harder muscles
Inner peace, outer hustle
Spend my days, spend my money
Tryna help myself (Help myself)
Bigger dreams, smaller ego
Less machines, more libido
All the ways, all the time
I'm tryna help myself
[Chorus]
But I can't help myself, help myself, help me
No, I can't help myself, so help me get free
What if all of us out helping ourselves could help somebody else?
Help is on the way, help is on the way
[Verse 2]
No excess in my diet
Supplements, yeah, I'll buy it
Tonics, tinctures, you know I'll try it
I'm tryna help myself (Help myself)
Longer life, lower tension
Endless knowledge, no retention
I forget now, did I mention
I'm tryna help myself?
[Chorus]
But I can't help myself, help myself, help me
No, I can't help myself, so help me to see
That if all of us out helping ourselves could help somebody else
Help is on the way, help is on the way, help is on the way
[Instrumental]
Self-acceptance got no nearer
My perception got no clearer
From all this staring in the mirror
Tryna help myself (Help myself)
Oh, but just when I thought I'd hit my limit
I saw that all of us are here in it
And I forgot for just one minute
About tryna help myself
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't help myself, help myself, help me
No, I can't help myself, so help me believe
That if all of us out helping ourselves could help somebody else
All of us out helping ourselves
All of us out helping ourselves could help somebody else
Help is on the way, help is on the way
