Ace Hood - Save Us lyrics
[Intro:] You can't change the world until you change yoself Gotta start somewhere Save us [Verse 1:] There's a war going on outside, it's devastating The hood's segregated by cliques and affiliations City full of satans who facin no limitations Turnin on the news and it's poison throughout the nation Kids being kidnapped, teens getting shot up Murder rate higher, continue as bodies pop 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, the 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 f** am I to do cus I'm simply speakin truth? We gotta guard the youth, no excuses to be in school Babies out in Africa prayin 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 power message behind lectures Damn... We livin in hell, good people We surrounded by pure evil It sees the deceited, 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 [Verse 2:] We all soul searching, we destined to find purpose Living in a world with the worse and the non-perfect But women sellin piece of their bodies and call it workin And little girls worhipin strippers, get into t**n These are my a**umptions, never cast judgment Youngest on the block and they focused on mild subjects Tryna please others' perspective 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 live, but I hope that you fightin daily I know I'm chosen, Lord knows it, my flow golden Is hell here? Section 8's and wellfares Drug addicts and bad tragic, so many tears Black hearses, it's gotten worser throughout the years Please save us, I'm still prayin, God's will Innocence being k**ed, exactly what I feel Lawd... 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 sh**...
