Lyrics for Don't Save Me
Look, don't save me, I'll do something, I act crazy You do know me, got no future, the past hazy The truth is the blue faces, I'll donate 'em I'll throw away 'bout everything before my pride's taken And don't lie to me, lie with me 'till the bed's shaking Taking double shots in the AM, that's why my head's racing I can't forget the past, but I don't remember last night That's right, ask why I'm alright, I promise Said don't save me I got reasons, so don't hate me I'm going soon, in the blink of an eye I'm there waiting So don't save me, my tone shaky but don't blame me I been screaming bout that money bitch and going crazy Forget the meaning and the signs in the lines I'm talkin to myself, to God, and my family in rhymes In due time I'll give my brother maybe kids all the dimes I been stacking for a minute before I'm crossing the line I pray you don't save me I'll be on my own 'till I'm gone, it's no maybe Oh you promise you're waiting, and I know that I've been saying, oh So don't save me a thing, it won't break me I'm here staying until the lord takes me I never won't make it, and I promise (yeah) So don't save me, oh I must ask What could be done, I feel afar from the world Is it the fame? Is it the name? Is it the chains or the girls? You want me to spit on America to send a message to the world Well, guess what? I'm your higher self and I can't be lowered They clipped and burned, I must fly And I want you to fly, can't see if you don't let me That aggression will be tested in your passings, in your blessings Your message is well needed, been chained for four hundred years A million tears every year, auctioned off and bought at Sears Ah, five hundred years later, the kids 'gotta love If not, they keep selling slugs If not, they keep taking drugs And they look at you to be the hero Let the words be the hugs To fill them up like a mug and make a smile, not a mug Human race is so divided, we are one even divided One soul, one heart, and one earth, and one smile From the God and say loudly I don't need saving I'm actually finding peace with evolution of babies Let's teach them the greatness This man's money, that man's money means nothing over heart From the start, the purpose of this life is to find the spark In the dark, to the light Keep it pure and lose the spite Sticking with each other for greater good We 'gon be alright I pray you don't save me I'll be on my own 'till I'm gone, it's no maybe (yeah) Oh you promise you're waiting, and I know that I've been saying, oh So don't save me a thing, it won't break me I'm here staying until the lord takes me I never won't make it, and I promise So don't save me, no I pray you don't save me I'll be on my own 'till I'm gone, it's no maybe Oh you promise you're waiting, and I know that I've been saying, oh So don't save me a thing, it won't break me I'm here staying until the lord takes me I never won't make it, and I promise So don't save me, no You know no matter what I say I hope you're wishing me well I know it's crackers out there wishing that I'm dead or in jail But by the way that things are looking, I'll be good for the bail I said I'd turn the other cheek but I've been liable to fail Ah save your breath nigga, I never said it'd happen in flesh I'll take what's yours, make it mine, your soul can question the rest I'm talking power, I'm addicted, keep that close to my chest So if you're fitting that description, bitch you know that you're next I'm getting old white money, now a nigga feel rich Ain't nobody outrun me when it comes to your shit I want your money, your power, your systems Fuck, I'm making bread 'till I got power in the systems You're victims, victims, 'Imma make 'em victims Don't save me, save your dollars, fucking grip 'em No R.I.P to all them niggas, I won't fucking miss 'em 'Cause I ain't had nobody on my side and I'm still winning, listen I pray you don't save me I'll be on my own 'till I'm gone, it's no maybe Oh you promise you're waiting, and I know that I've been saying, oh So don't save me a thing, it won't break me I'm here staying until the lord takes me I never won't make it, and I promise So don't save me, no I pray you don't save me I'll be on my own 'till I'm gone, it's no maybe Oh you promise you're waiting, and I know that I've been saying, oh So don't save me a thing, it won't break me I'm here staying until the lord takes me I never won't make it, and I promise So don't save me, no
