There's a war goin' on outside Yeah There's a war going on outside, that nobody safe from But here in my arms, I'll keep you from harm There's no guarantee tonight that we will wake up (That we will wake up) When light takes to morning But if no alarm rings, you can count on one thing I'll be your shelter Even shall see Please count on me, yeah I'll be your superhero When danger arrives (Uh) I'll be by your side, you're my lucky dime Wyclef told me, "Call 9-1-1" But who do you call when the ambulances don't comе? Or watch as the ones sworn by law to protect us Wrongfully convict us then call it corrections Next, they bail the banks out when we in recession Or hang us in a jail cell so they could swing the election I walk Chicago streets with potholes that's deep And Tahoes creep like T.L.C. Hospital workers and squirrels with no P-P-E But they got money for riot gear, my nigga, we dyin' here, yeah You tell me not to move with my gun Letras de cancionesBut we got more funeral homes than schools where I'm from And on the news, all you view is homicides Tell me why it ain't no trauma units when everybody traumatized?

The manifested destiny, a bunch of land they could steal Think about Kenneth Walker and Philando Castile How they only wanted to protect their family While there's niggas out here that make it worse for they folks It's a deeper hot of Hell for the worst of these folks It's a mystery we never heard the murder she wrote If we finally paid her back, the whole Earth would be broke I'll be your shelter Even shall see Please count on me, yeah I'll be your superhero When danger arrives (Uh) I'll be by your side, you're my lucky dime I ride for my niggas doin' life with no possibility of parole You playing Fortnite, that's how long he spent in a hole Live from death row, free my nigga Julius Jones I had a dream that it was me, it was home I speak freedom in song, 'cause all I see is racist faces Where hate lives, and they rape kids in cages What kinda nation lynch Elijah McClain? And send us to the Middle East to die for the flag They drive us insane to sell us medication We demand reparations and they tell us, "Have patience" Instead of cash payments we get minimum wages They give us the Black Plague, then send us a White savior I found faith when I lost hope That's when Julius reminded me of a bar I wrote "Behind bars, on the yard, where they dream of the street On Death Row singin', 'We could be free, we could be free'" I know you'll be my shelter from the storm I know you'll be my shelter from the storm Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh From Letras Mania
