Save Us (feat. Betty Wright)

[00:03.77] You can't change the world until you change yourself
[00:08.65] Gotta start somewhere
[00:15.16] Save us
[00:22.20] There's a war going on outside, it's devastating
[00:25.47] The hoods segregated by cliques and affiliations
[00:28.23] City full of satans who facing no limitations
[00:30.90] Turning on the news and it's poison throughout the nation
[00:33.67] Kids being kidnapped, teens getting shot up
[00:36.55] Murder rate higher, continue as bodies pop up
[00:39.33] Streets done got worser, the world done got colder
[00:42.10] Many crying out and they could really use a shoulder
[00:44.95] Amen amen, live a life full of sin
[00:47.71] I inspire the people that boost desire within
[00:50.47] Got a message for students, teachers won't let me attend
[00:53.31] Paint a horrible image of me, I'm quick to defend
[00:56.16] What the fuck am I to do cus I'm simply speakin truth?
[00:59.28] We gotta guard the youth, no excuses to be in school
[01:02.09] Babies out in Africa prayin for a pair of shoes
[01:04.87] More food or finer things they never knew
[01:08.20] Lord knows I won't change, life's better
[01:10.43] God bless the soul and the spirits of Mandela
[01:13.41] Let's do it for a cause, we are grateful beyond measures
[01:16.02] Man with a powerful message behind lectures
[01:19.28] Damn
[01:23.70] We're living in hell, good people
[01:26.05] We're surrounded by pure evil
[01:29.15] And it's easy to see we need Jesus

[01:53.58] We all soul searching, we destined to find purpose
[01:56.47] Living in a world with the worse and the non-perfect
[01:59.45] But women selling piece of their bodies and call it working
[02:01.89] And little girls worshiping strippers, getting into twerking
[02:04.63] These are my assumptions, never cast judgment
[02:07.57] Youngins on the block and they focused on mild subjects
[02:10.17] Trynna please others perspectives that's in the public
[02:13.15] Too opinionated, I pray that we reinstated
[02:16.33] I wanna be that voice and that pain of them crying babies
[02:18.85] I wanna be that little bit of hope that you find daily
[02:21.65] I know I'm chosen, Lord knows it, my flow golden
[02:24.40] It's hell here, Section 8's and welfares
[02:27.36] Drug addicts and bad tragic, so many tears
[02:30.17] Black hearses, it's gotten worser throughout the years
[02:33.01] Please save us, I'm still prayin, God's will
[02:35.98] Innocence being killed, exactly what I feel
[02:38.36] Lord
[02:40.21] And this can't be life
[02:41.53] Bob Marley never settled, he would fight for the right
[02:44.61] Hands up if you believe you got a purpose in life
[02:48.07] Shit

[03:26.85] Save us from ourselves, what we listen but disregard it
[03:29.54] Keeping hope alive for the people, them ones who started
[03:32.30] Tryna change the world for them legends in which departed
[03:35.19] How dare you criticize me with lies that you assume?
[03:37.82] Bad judge of characters, school in Syracuse
[03:40.68] I am the ghetto, I am the struggle, I am the hunger
