Spazzy D - Save Us [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[TV news recording]

[Verse 1]
Every time I turn on 559 I see
Everybody and their mama dying or
Everybody and their mama trying to
Be seen on big screens, but not I

Everybody wanna help
But they only helping when it’s helping theyself or
Helping they wealth or
Helping them grow or
Helping them get a little bit of that dough

Don’t know what the world is coming to no more oh no
I know heaven is coming any day
I don’t care, let them keep killing each other anyway
Please for your mama’s sake, please for your daddy’s sake
Please breathe in the peace, exhale with the hate
If you live with the rats, you gonna die by the snakes
So high water’s sake
Cause a lot of us die before we even get the chance to graduate
Grab a plate, that’s food for thought

[911 call recording]

[Verse 2]
A lotta y’all rolling it up and never work for that
No pain, no gain, gotta hurt from that
You never work at all, you gotta work it off
Because perks don’t fall into an empty lap (empty lap)

This ain’t empty rap
If you acting cool, then you acting whack
Don’t act a fool when you with your crew
Cause who cares who don’t like you after that

Everybody wanna be real (real), everybody wanna be down (down)
Everybody wanna steal, everybody wanna lie cheat
Me? I’d rather die down, like right now
On the crime in the night time, everybody is a night owl

Please, everybody stop, everybody blame them cops
But we kill each other for them while they watch
Please stop, please, stop

[TV news recording]

What if there was no races? And the feelings of hatred were just packed into little suitcases and shipped to non-existent locations
I honestly fear for this generation cause we attend more funerals than graduations
And we don’t even have relationships, just “relations” because the ship wrecks before it leaves the deck at the loading station
Being black at the wrong time can lead to incrimination
And when we see the color green, there’s no discrimination
And honestly, that’s an issue that this nation is facing because it’s all about bad women and paper chasing
Well, why? Does money really make you better than the next guy?
I mean, what if we had all the money in the world, but nothing to buy?
It’s a recession. History’s second Great Depression. And all this killing doesn’t help, we just hide behind the weapon
But then again, what do I know

[Hook]
Save me from this heartache
Save me from myself
Save us all, save me
