Spazzy D - Save Us lyrics

[TV news recording] [Verse 1] Every time I turn on 559 I see Everybody and their mama dying or Everybody and their mama trying to Be seen on big screens, but not I Everybody wanna help But they only helping when it's helping theyself or Helping they wealth or Helping them grow or Helping them get a little bit of that dough Don't know what the world is coming to no more oh no I know heaven is coming any day I don't care, let them keep k**ing each other anyway Please for your mama's sake, please for your daddy's sake Please breathe in the peace, exhale with the hate If you live with the rats, you gonna die by the snakes So high water's sake Cause a lot of us die before we even get the chance to graduate Grab a plate, that's food for thought [911 call recording] [Verse 2] A lotta y'all rolling it up and never work for that No pain, no gain, gotta hurt from that You never work at all, you gotta work it off Because perks don't fall into an empty lap (empty lap) This ain't empty rap If you acting cool, then you acting whack Don't act a fool when you with your crew Cause who cares who don't like you after that Everybody wanna be real (real), everybody wanna be down (down) Everybody wanna steal, everybody wanna lie cheat Me? I'd rather die down, like right now On the crime in the night time, everybody is a night owl Please, everybody stop, everybody blame them cops But we k** each other for them while they watch Please stop, please, stop [TV news recording] What if there was no races? And the feelings of hatred were just packed into little suitcases and shipped to non-existent locations I honestly fear for this generation cause we attend more funerals than graduations And we don't even have relationships, just “relations” because the ship wrecks before it leaves the deck at the loading station Being black at the wrong time can lead to incrimination And when we see the color green, there's no discrimination And honestly, that's an issue that this nation is facing because it's all about bad women and paper chasing Well, why? Does money really make you better than the next guy? I mean, what if we had all the money in the world, but nothing to buy? It's a recession. History's second Great Depression. And all this k**ing doesn't help, we just hide behind the weapon But then again, what do I know [Hook] Save me from this heartache Save me from myself Save us all, save me
