Save Us

Woke out my sleep into a storm
Looked at alarm
Wasn't quite morning
But still I mourn
Can't help but feel alarmed
Not for running into arms
We carry arms
Heat for the ice
They wearing bracelets and chains
But they ain't charms

How many gon band up
When it ain't money
How many gon stand up
When it ain't funny
How many gon speak up
And say something
How many gon save us
When the day come

How many gon band up
When it ain't money
How many gon stand up
When it ain't funny
How many gon speak up
And say something
How many gon save us
When the day come

They restraints for the harm we cause
Plenty scars
Attend to wound
In between like district schools
Mettle hard
Like iron bars
Iron mike
Show some muscle
Incase they struggle
Fucking crabs in a barrel
Itching for scratch
These crabs are never sterile
Don't give a fuck
We celibate
Ain't shit to celebrate
Witness crime
We turn our back or medicate
They selling crack to section 8
Punching bags with heavy weights
Kill the hood when bullets spray
All this blood like family day
Another dead a mother pray

How many gon band up
When it ain't money
How many gon stand up
When it ain't funny
How many gon speak up
And say something
How many gon save us
When the day come

How many gon band up
When it ain't money
How many gon stand up
When it ain't funny
How many gon speak up
And say something
How many gon save us
When the day come

How she keep that faith
How it get this way
War on drugs
War on rape
War on thugs
War on race
Sometimes I feel it's war on love
Maybe we just love the hate
Some conversations we ignore
We can't escape
Love Islands but don't mention the hurricanes
Or dipping out to Cancun
Ducking all the typhoons
So many lit candles
No heros for fallen angels
And what they destine for
Encontrado desperadoes
Gotta pray for Mexico

How many gon band up
When it ain't money
How many gon stand up
When it ain't funny
How many gon speak up
And say something
How many gon save us
When the day come

How many gon band up
When it ain't money
How many gon stand up
When it ain't funny
How many gon speak up
And say something
How many gon save us
When the day come

So many kids
Taken straight from their homes
So many kids are killed before their grown
She explores unknown never alone
Fear they'll cease her if ever she roam
It's out of control
Tell me
When you high coming down
Do you feel the ground
When you cry no one around
Do you make a sound
Understand the sentence before objections
Rebuttals and or but are just conjunctions
Gotta do something
Can't just do nothing

How many gon band up
When it ain't money
How many gon stand up
When it ain't funny
How many gon speak up
And say something
How many gon save us
When the day come

How many gon band up
When it ain't money
How many gon stand up
When it ain't funny
How many gon speak up
And say something
How many gon save us
When the day come
