Saved

Ask me if I'm saved and I'll say I am everyday
Everyday I save myself from becoming prey
There are vultures circling above us as we pray
Attacking as we're distracted by what preachers say

I keep a 45 in my ride trying stay alive
Cause 45's goons want to see me die
Racism's rise is causing my people strife
Yet the sum of four fives is twenty to life

It's time for us to put religion aside and unite
Standing side by side in a mighty unified fight
An eye for an eye is what the "good book" says, right?
Well then it's time for the other side to lose their site

Turning the other cheek makes us all appear weak
While each and every week we dying in the streets
Freedom, Justice and Equality is what we must seek
And we must be willing to acquire it by any means

Chanting bomaye instead of rapping lyrics by Ye
He'll do nothing for you except lead you astray
Using his hocus pockus to take away your pay
Then at the end of the day he'll look the other way

Don't be a negro just shoot'em in the knee bro
Be like the rose beneath the concrete and grow
Stop selling your souls like spiritless ass hoes
Can't save 'em all though so just let a ho be a ho
