Lifesaver

[Guru]

Mmm is this really the end or is it a new beginning?

A new reality..

Chorus: Guru + Baybe (repeat 2X)

So many misconceptions (don't be misled)

So many evil deceptions (oh I am)

I've come to give direction

For I am the lifesaver (the life)

[Guru]

Scooby doo wah scooby doo wee

Like a jazz player I improvise wisely

Free with the style, I flow like the Nile

but remember, don't mistake the smile

Deep rooted is my rhymin

Like ancient African griots, precise is my timing

But let me get to the essence of what I'm sayin here

Too many blood red streets with bodies layin there

The systematic fanatics are at it again

Tryin to kill me and all of us my friend

But don't bend to the mental strain

Against all odds, we must strive for essential gains

Be true to the life the Lord gave ya

And that's a message from the lifesaver

The lifesaver..

Chorus

[Baybe]

Oh I am, the life (I.. am the lifesaver)

I am, the life.. yeah

[Guru]

It takes a more intelligent man to squash a fight

than to set one off, knowledge I'll let some off

Cause nowadays, everybody's a killer

And as for me, no other MC is iller

but still a thorn scrapes my heart

when I see another life that's been torn apart

over nonsense, no law, no order, it's evidence

that the money only takes precedence

Cause everybody wants power

While the innocent are born or die, during every hour

I scowl as I look upon evil

but I must have the strength, to spark awareness in my people

And we will learn to respect our neighbors

Another message from the lifesaver

The lifesaver..

Chorus

[Guru]

People talk about the Armaggedeon

And nowadays everyone you know is packin lead son

Each day's another test

Aiyyo I better do my best, cause a lot's ridin on my chest

So when I lead you to the water, you best know

how to swim across, so you can reach the border

It's international, the message and the flavor

So here's some more important words from the lifesaver

The lifesaver.. (I am the life)

The lifesaver..
