[Verse 1]
You're hurt, let me be your first aid kit
But I can't help you if you won’t take it
Your heart's vacant, where I used to kick it
You're in misery visibly so you start inflicting
Wounds
On your physical anatomy
I assume it's due to the fact that you're mad at me
I just wanna energize you like the battery
Give you life in the midst of this tragedy
Well, that's a hell of a contradiction
But listen, I know you're tired like Michelin
Of me having to ask for forgiveness
You've written every wrong that I've done on a big list
A list longer than Schindler's
Like nation wide I'm on your side, not against ya
But nothing that I say can convince ya
That I wanna give you coverage like Sprint does
Uh, In the darkest of places I gave you my heart
But it seems you misplaced it
It's sad 'cause I'd lend you my back
Or any part of me that you need, as a matter of fact
I wanted you to be there for me when the venues pack
With cats rapping to the track bouncing forth and back
But here I go again dwelling on the past
Can't say that I didn't offer or ask
[Chorus]
You can't help the ones you hurt
You can seldom help em 'cause in their eyes your help isn't welcome
And I can't save you from yourself
Even with all of my being
I can't help if you won’t let me in
You can't help the ones you hurt
You can seldom help em 'cause in their eyes your help isn't welcome
And I can't save you from yourself
Even with all of my being
I can't help if you won’t let me in

[Verse 2]
If I didn't hurt you, then would you accept it?
The help that I'm tryna give, would you still repel it
You don't like what you see in your reflection
Instead of making the best of your imperfections
Your wrists, take the pin, insert injections
Of narcotics, chemical toxins
You got skeletons up in your closet
That you locked away and haven't found the lock since
Well, the key I mean
Your hurt’s here to stay, which means I leave
See I be, the M-C
Mr. K-I double T-Y be
The producer who supplied the beat
Even though electronic really ain't my genre
I spit the lyrics that'll make my genre prosper
Luciano, Primavera, the mobster
Chip on your shoulder more like a monster
That you hesitate to let me help you conquer
Half of the battle is admitting there's a problem
And the other half is applying yourself like a job hunt
To the cause of your grudges and anger
Slits in your wrist insinuate you're in danger
It's your lucky day 'cause I happen to be a savior
With expertise in the field of pen and paper
Let me slow it down
Take a breather
This easy for you? Well, me neither
I guess we've reached a compromise
You keep to your problems, I'll keep to mine
But if you're lost and you look, then you can find
Like Cyndi Lauper, I'm here time after time
Rhyme after rhyme, I'm your lifeline
There's only so far you can travel from my mind
[Chorus]
You can't help the ones you hurt
You can seldom help em 'cause in their eyes your help isn't welcome
And I can't save you from yourself
Even with all of my being
I can't help if you won't let me in
You can't help the ones you hurt
You can seldom help em 'cause in their eyes your help isn't welcome
And I can't save you from yourself
Even with all of my being
I can't help if you won't let me in
