Ace Hood - Save us lyrics

rate me

ft. Betty Wright

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!
