You can't change the world until you change yourself
|
Gotta start somewhere
|
Save us
|
|
There's a war going on outside, it's devastating
|
The hoods segregated by cliques and affiliations
|
City full of satans who facing no limitations
|
Turning on the news and it's poison throughout the nation
|
Kids being kidnapped, teens getting shot up
|
Murder rate higher, continue as bodies pile up
|
Streets done got worser, the world done got colder
|
Many crying out and they could really use a shoulder
|
Amen amen, live a life full of sin
|
I inspire the people that boost desire within
|
Got a message for students, teachers won't let me attend
|
Paint a horrible image of me, I'm quick to defend
|
What the fuck am I to do cus I'm simply speaking truth?
|
We gotta guard the youth, no excuses to be in school
|
Babies out in Africa praying for a pair of shoes
|
More food or finer things they never knew
|
Lord knows I won't change, life's better
|
God bless the souls and the spirits of Mandela
|
Let's do it for a cause, we are grateful beyond measures
|
Man with a powerful message behind lectures
|
Damn
|
We're living in hell, good people
|
We're surrounded by pure evil
|
And it's easy to see we need Jesus
|
Please'
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Save us
|
Won't you help me? Oh
|
Save us
|
Oh oh oh oh
|
Save us
|
Save my' baby
|
Save us
|
Help me' save my' baby
|
Save us
|
Save you
|
|
We all soul searching, we destined to find purpose
|
Living in a world with the worse and the non-perfect
|
But women selling piece of their bodies and call it working
|
And little girls worshiping strippers, getting into twerking
|
These are my assumptions, never cast judgment
|
Youngers on the block and they focused on mild subjects
|
Trying to please others perspectives that's in the public
|
Too opinionated, I pray that we reinstated
|
I wanna be that voice and that pain of them crying babies
|
I wanna be that little bit of hope that you find daily
|
I know I'm chosen, Lord knows it, my flow golden
|
Is hell here, Section 8's and well fares
|
Drug addicts and bad tragic, so many tears
|
Black hearses, it's gotten worser throughout the years
|
Please save us, I'm still praying, God's will
|
Innocence being killed, exactly what I feel
|
Lord
|
And this can't be life
|
Bob Marley never settled, he would fight for the right
|
Hands up if you believe you got a purpose in life
|
Shit
|
Welcome to hell, good people
|
We surrounded by pure evil
|
Please keep us
|
And it's easy to see we need Jesus
|
Please
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Save us from the killers, the demons and coldhearted
|
Save us from ourselves, what we listen but disregard it
|
Keeping hope alive for the people, them ones who started
|
Trying change the world for them legends in which departed
|
How dare you criticize me with lies that you assume?
|
Bad judge of characters, school in Syracuse
|
I am the ghetto, I am the struggle, I am the hunger
|
I am the pain, I do inspire, don't have to wonder
|
Lord
|
|
Save
|
Oh, we've got to save the babies
|
Your babies, my babies, our babies
|
One by one
|
Oh it's getting serious, son
|
It's getting serious
|
Oh yes it is
|
Oh we got to do something about it
|
We got to do more than just talk about it
|
|
Save us
|
Help me
|
Save us
|
Will you help me?
|
Save us
|
Save' my babies
|
Save my' son
|
Save my' save my baby!
|
