Who Gonna Save Us - Smif-N-Wessun

Who gonna save us?

Who gonna save us?

Who gonna save us?

Who gonna save us?

Who gonna save us?

We got casualties unthinkable

How does one survive when he’s livin' with waters undrinkable

For years we sat back and watched TV commercials

About what five cents a day could do

And it’s been documented, some give, some didn’t

But in our country some of us couldn’t

So, what’s the use of the organization

If the funds ain’t goin' to the proper destination

We livin' in the world of technology

Still we do nothin' to stop all of these catastrophes

Reports said they knew the levies would break in New Orleans

So, why wasn’t people given a warnin'?

Mr. President only takes precedent

When the threats closer to his residents

And it’s a cryin' shame, they let us die in vain

Got all the money in the world and still nothin' change

Who gonna save us when tragedy hits

And now where you livin' no longer exists?

Who gonna save us when the real threat appears

And our military is no longer feared?

Who gonna save us when the skies gonna stop pourin'

And we keep blamin' global warmin'?

Who gonna save us when all else fails

And we finally realize we gotta save ourselves

We got war against the streets and against drugs

War against terrorists and against guns

War against the music we purchasin'

Illegal downloadin' and is hurtin' 'em

Let it be known about the effort bein' spent

That the world ain’t ready for a Black President

Obama, I stand beside ya

Gun in hand and body armor

Who gonna save us when tragedy hits

And now where you livin' no longer exists?

Who gonna save us when the real threat appears

And our military is no longer feared?

Who gonna save us when the skies gonna stop pourin'

And we keep blamin' global warmin'?

Who gonna save us when all else fails

And we finally realize we gotta save ourselves

You know that we was born to die

And in between that time is where your destiny lies

Some already born into a lifestyle

While other seek choices of why and how like

How we so poor or why my skin so black?

We just give opinions and no facts

So, they take the first option they see

If I join the service I can go to school for free

But they always blurrin' out the fine print

You gonna be a guinea pig and we sign it

Now you’re gettin' needles, carryin' diseases

Gotcha fightin' for beliefs you don’t even believe in

Ask not what you can do for your country

But what your country can do for you real bluntly

And tell the people the truth of what they fightin' for

Before you just send them away to die in some war

Who gonna save us?

Who gonna save us?
