Save Video (MV)

Ain't no one to save you when you really drowning
But they don't teach you to swim
The education system made me realize everybody chances are slim
Gotta get ahead the curve, make reality bend
Figured it was all words til I seen it
You tell em kids dream but they figure what's the reason
Can't even blame em
All they see is niggas sitting on the stoop
Fights break out
Can't nobody rumble so they shoot
Can't stay out
Momma yellin' bring that ass in
Never think its a game
Bullets never have names
Niggas hardly can aim
God willin', you grow up n get out
Move up outta the house
Now you bout to see what life is about
Thought the death of you was gonna be the streets
But living on ya own got you praying every week
Got no one to feed you
What the f*ck you gon' eat
You done spent ya paycheck
On a fresh pair of sneaks
Hours aint popping
Time aint stopping
Momma ain't got it
Now u running outta options
Bout to do some crazy, shady shit, for some copper
Pennies
Chump change, pockets so empty
Bills always grabbing out ya wallet like gimmie
But you deal with it
You ain't goin back, that's silly
Really what don't kill you make you stronger
That's the key to ya success
You ain't working hard enough
Then you won't ever get to rest
Even if you quit
You gotta deal wit the stress
Knowing that you coulda did it if you got thru the test
Time'll grab you the neck and snap ya shit in a sec
And it'll happen when your least to expect
Can't nobody save you dawg
Can't nobody save you
Can't nobody save you dawg
Can't nobody come and save you
Drawing was my life, it gave me satisfaction
Teachers told me that shit was just a big distraction
Didn't think to go college for that shit until later
More so an institution
I got determined to make it my nigga, no excuses
See, people really think they play the game
But they gettin played
Telling all these children follow steps
That's meant to set em up for life
And put them niggas where they need to be
How could that ever be the case when we think differently
Either you gon' teach me to fly
Or you preventing me
Either you gon' leave me to die
Or you can save a nigga mentally
Cause physically I handle it well
Drop some knowledge like a pistol pop
And droppin' them shells, just keep it real
If it cause me fail
That's on me
The youth being taught some shit that they don't really need
I feel that shit is like a poison and a powerful one
Cause that shit stay in rotation
Now you teaching yo sons, you tell em
Follow the rules, and do what u told
Give up all the fantasy dreams, you gettin to old
Get ya self a job and commit, you lazy as shit
Spending all ya money and ya time on creatives n shit
We believe it til it drown out all our happiness
Walking round depressed
Don't give a f*ck abt whats happening
Talking to ya closest friends, asking for advice
But they say the same shit
Story of ya life
Can't nobody save you dawg
Can't nobody save you
Can't nobody save you dawg
Can't nobody come and save you
