Lifesaver (feat. Lucien & Baybe) (Guru's Jazzmatazz, Vol.2: The New Reality 1995)
[Guru] Mmm is this really the end or is it a new beginning? A new reality..
Chorus: Guru + Baybe (repeat 2X)
So many misconceptions (don't be misled) So many evil deceptions (oh I am) I've come to give direction For I am the lifesaver (the life)
[Guru] 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..
Chorus
[Baybe] Oh I am, the life (I.. am the lifesaver) I am, the life.. yeah
[Guru] 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 MC 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 Cause everybody wants power While the 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..
Chorus
[Guru] People talk about the Armaggedeon And nowadays everyone you know is packin lead son Each day's another test Aiyyo 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 The lifesaver.. (I am the life) The lifesaver..
