Lyrics

Hmm, is this really the end?
Or is it a new beginning?
A new reality
(Don't be misled)
So many misconceptions
So many evil deceptions
(I am alive)
I've come to give direction
For I am the lifesaver
(Don't be misled)
So many misconceptions
So many evil deceptions
(I am alive)
I've come to give direction
For I am the lifesaver
Scooby-Doo, wah, Scooby-Doo, wee
Like a jazz player, I improvise wisely
Free with the style, I flow like the Nile
But remember, don't mistake the smile
Deep rooted is my rhymin'
Like ancient African griots, precise is my timing
But let me get to the essence of what I'm sayin' here
Too many blood-red streets with bodies layin' there
The systematic fanatics are at it again
Tryin' to kill me and all of us, my friend
But don't bend to the mental strain
Against all odds, we must strive for essential gains
Be true to the life the Lord gave ya
And that's a message from the lifesaver
The lifesaver
(The lifesaver, the lifesaver)
(Don't be misled)
So many misconceptions
So many evil deceptions
(I am alive)
I've come to give direction
For I am the lifesaver
(Don't be misled)
So many misconceptions
So many evil deceptions
(Oh, I am, I am, I am alive)
I've come to give direction
For I am the lifesaver
(Oh, I am alive)
I am the lifesaver
(I am alive, yeah)
It takes a more intelligent man to squash a fight
Than to set one off, knowledge I'll let some off
'Cause nowadays everybody's a killer
And as for me, no other M-C is iller
But still a thorn scrapes my heart
When I see another life that's been torn apart
Over nonsense, no law, no order, it's evidence
That the money only takes precedence
(Precedence)
'Cause everybody wants power
While an innocent are born or die
During every hour, I scowl as I look upon evil
But I must have the strength to spark awareness in my people
And we will learn to respect our neighbors
Another message from the lifesaver
The lifesaver
(The lifesaver, the lifesaver)
(Don't be misled)
So many misconceptions
(Misconceptions)
So many evil deceptions
(Tellement d'déception)
(I am alive)
I've come to give direction
(Direction)
For I am the lifesaver
(Don't be misled)
So many misconceptions
(Misconceptions)
So many evil deceptions
(Tellement d'déception)
(Oh, I am, I am, I am alive)
I've come to give direction
(Direction)
For I am the lifesaver
(The lifesaver, the lifesaver)
People talk about the Armageddon
And nowadays everyone you know is packin' lead, son
Each day's another test, hey, yo,
I better do my best 'cause a lot's ridin' on my chest
So when I lead you to the water
You best know how to swim across
So you can reach the border
It's international, the message and the flavor
So here's some more important words from the lifesaver
(I am alive)
(C'est bon, écoute ça)
The lifesaver
(I am alive)
(Tu mets pas l'cap)
(Oh-oh, yeah)
(Écoute bien, écoute bien)
The lifesaver
(The lifesaver, the lifesaver)
Garçons fâchés
Grandissant dans la violence et la pisse
Le mot « peace » c'est pour ceux qui périssent chaque jour
Aux alentours, dans le monde et ses tours
En prison ou retour en arrière dans les fours
Et les condés font leurs rondes
Les villes grondent
La terre réchauffe, les sommets d'la montagne fondent
Fondant ça passe, black ça casse
Tel est mon uniforme dans une guerre entre races
On me regarde, me met en garde
À vue, certains cafardent d'autres bavardent
Et tu dédicace à ton quartier, toute cité
Aux pas d'chance à ceux qui sont tombés, mais pas pour la France
Pays trop bidon, vivement Armageddon
J'ai raison, priant Jehovah pour mon pardon
Car si un flic me gifle, je le droite
Enfonçant mon doigt dans son œil et le fond d'son cerveau, je gratte
(So many misconceptions)
Parce qu'en garde-à-vue, il te prennent dans la rue
(So many evil deceptions)
Quand tu fais la bringue, ils te mettent la main sur tes fringues
I've come to give direction
For I am the lifesaver
(The lifesaver, the lifesaver, the lifesaver, the lifesaver)
