Lifesaver

Lyrics

[Intro: Guru] Mmm, is this really the end, or is it a new beginning? A new reality [Chorus: Guru & Baybe] So many misconceptions (Don't be misled) So many evil deceptions (I am) I've come to give direction (The life) For I, am the lifesaver So many misconceptions (Don't be misled) So many evil deceptions (I am) I've come to give direction (The life) For I, am the lifesaver [Verse 1: 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 timin' 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: Guru & Baybe] So many misconceptions (Don't be misled) So many evil deceptions (I am) I've come to give direction (The life) For I, am the lifesaver So many misconceptions (Don't be misled) So many evil deceptions (Oh, I am, I am, I am) I've come to give direction (The life) For I, am the lifesaver [Post-Chorus: Baybe & Guru] Oh I am, the life (I am the lifesaver) I am, the life, yeah [Verse 2: 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 & Baybe] So many misconceptions (Oh, don't be misled) So many evil deceptions (I am) I've come to give direction (The life) For I, am the lifesaver So many misconceptions (Don't be misled) So many evil deceptions (Oh, I am, I am, I am) I've come to give direction (The life) For I, am the lifesaver [Verse 3: Guru & Baybe] People talk about the Armaggedeon And nowadays everyone you know is packin' lead, son Each day's another test Ayo, 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 (I am the life, oh oh yeah) [Verse 4: Lucien] Gar�on, f�ch�, grandissant dans la violence et la pisse Le mot peace, c'est pour ceux qui p�rissent Chaque jour, aux alentours, dans le monde et ses tours En prison ou retour en arri�re dans les fours Et les cond�s font leur rondes, les villes grondent La terre chauffe les sommets de montagne fondent Blondin �a passe black �a casse Tel est mon uniforme dans une guerre entre races On me regarde, me met en garde, � vue Certains cafardent, d'autres bavardent, et tuent D�dicace � tout quartier, toute cit�, aux pas de chance � ceux qui sont tomb�s mais pas pour la France Pays trop bidon, vivement Armageddon J'ai raison, priant J�hovah pour mon pardon Car si un flic me juge je le droite Enfon�ant mon doigt dans son oeil et le fond de son cerveau je gratte ... (Goes off to fade) [Outro: Guru] So many misconceptions So many evil deceptions I've come to give direction For I, am the lifesaver
