| 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)
|
| 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.
|
| Oh I am, the life (I. am the lifesaver)
|
| I am, the life. |
| yeah
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| Garçon, fâché, grandissant dans la violence et la pisse
|
| Le mot peace, c’est pour ceux qui périssent
|
| Chaque jour, aux alentours, dans le monde et ses tours
|
| En prison ou retour en arrière dans les fours
|
| Et les condés font leur rondes, les villes grondent
|
| La terre chauffe les sommets de montagne fondent
|
| Blondin ça passe black ça casse
|
| Tel est mon uniforme dans une guerre entre races
|
| On me regarde, me met en garde, à vue
|
| Certains cafardent, d’autres bavardent, et tuent
|
| Dédicace à tout quartier, toute cité, aux pas de chance
|
| À ceux qui sont tombés mais pas pour la France
|
| Pays trop bidon, vivement Armageddon
|
| J’ai raison, priant Jéhovah pour mon pardon
|
| Car si un flic me juge je le droite
|
| Enfonçant mon doigt dans son oeil et le fond de son cerveau je gratte
|
| … (Goes off to fade)
|
| So many misconceptions
|
| So many evil deceptions
|
| I’ve come to give direction
|
| For I, am the lifesaver |
