Save Me

K-Nuff verse:

The other day I heard a cry from a baby

And the sound was amazing

As I contemplated, "How do we start so simple and get so complicated?"

So we search and we try to be clever

Can't stand but we lie together

We spring through the summer, winter we slumber

The fall of man's gone forever

Chorus:

I feel like I've lost my way

How can I get it back show me

Alone on my own I let you

But now I need you to save me

I need you to save me

Butta P verse:

I can still hear the cry of our nation; we need you

But we keep on fighting, hoping and trying, yet your love will keep us alive

This generation is broke and needs healing

Someone how we lost sight of who you are but we bow down now

Juanlove verse:

I'm like a generation that's drowning

Beneath the silver moon I'm far from grounded

I speak the language of the streets but my insecurities they surround me

Like the smoke I blow from nostrils meant to take in the scent from flowers

Hours turn to days and days give birth to twins of crumbling towers

Even the grass is winterkilled, creation seems to only wither

And redemption is but an afterthought see I can sympathize with killers

On nights like these, on nights like these I find comfort in shadows

Breaking bread with bitter thieves who stole my rights to meet the gallows

But it's like I'm being kept alive, kept alive by something cosmic

Something large, something invading, it's something cosmic

But I left my will to live in a crack house three blocks away

And I surrendered my self-respect to the pimps and hoes who rule the day

I'm a generation that's drowning, sinking deep like submarines

From old Blind Bartimaeus to the little child wearing dungarees

I'm speaking from a place of hunger, from a place of wonder

Where we rape and plunder. I'm a drowning generation

And you can't hear me because the thunder
