Lifesaver Lyrics - Jazzmatazz, Vol. 2 (the New Reality) - Guru

featuring Lucien * 

* assistance requested on the French rap at the end 

[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.. 

[Lucien] * 

* words and translation requested 

[Guru] 

So many misconceptions 

So many evil deceptions 

I've come to give direction 

For I, am the lifesaver
