Chorus:
Save me
I've been walking round the block
I'm afraid of getting shot
Pay me
By the color of my bod'
I ain't getting any job
Praise me
I'm like everyone around
You don't listen to my sound, cos
You hate me
I'm just tired of living in the shadows of your mind

Verse 1:
I've been tryna figure out a couple things
Why do people care about the colour of a skin
The nature of a person is whats buried on the inside
Still were killing righteous people without any insight
People out here tryna catch a breath
The people who should save us they be choking us to death
They don't take a second of their life to value yours
They don't even reckon its a gesture of a war

Bridge:
Can't you see whats going on
The government be rolling on
While the people are in need of an helping arm
They don't care about the outcome at all
Chorus:
Save me
I've been walking round the block
I'm afraid of getting shot
Pay me
By the color of my bod
I ain't getting any job
Praise me
I'm like everyone around
You don't listen to my sound, cos
You hate me
I'm just tired of living in the shadows of your mind


Verse 2:
I never really cared about the looks
I never really cared about what's written in the books
A book is as reliable as 20 drunken men
They tell you what'll happen, but they never tell you when

That is why I'm telling you to move on from the past
We are living in the present for how long its gonna last
I'd never be an artist if it wasn't for the rap
There wouldn't be no rap, if it wasn't for the black

Bridge:
Can't you see whats going on
The government be rolling on
While the people are in need of an helping arm
They don't care about the outcome at all
Chorus:
Save me
I've been walking round the block
I'm afraid of getting shot
Pay me
By the color of my bod
I ain't getting any job
Praise me
I'm like everyone around
You don't listen to my sound, cos
You hate me
I'm just tired of living in the shadows of your mind
