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..

So many misconceptions
So many evil deceptions
I`ve come to give direction
For I, am the lifesaver
