Mez raps about the tough life he had growing up in southside Raleigh and the way that blacks are criminalized, and made to feel like outsiders. Mez also describes how even now that he is rich enough to buy an Audi with car insurance, he still faces lots of racial oppression in the industry, and beca...
[Verse 1]
One stand for the trap
But I drunk from the tap
My life want bottled water
If was a mothafuckin drink machine
That bitch stayed outta order
And reporters won't report the way we was brought up
They just show us when we caught up
The coliseum love slaughter
Maybe we oughta
Run up in the newsroom with the strap
See if you still love drama
I fuckin doubt it
We birthed the cultures
Man that ain't no way around it
Man I bet you see a nigga when you check that ultrasound
Sometimes life still dark and still so beautiful
In sunny southside Raleigh over us and funerals
Wе grew up dodging hollow point bullets and cubicles
Hold our hands in church
Gunsmokе still in our cuticles
It could be bad sometimes
It could be sad sometimes
It could be like Teddy Riley wifi and lag sometimes
(Goddamn) You think you know my life
But you don't know shit bout my life
Homie I got some great advice
Stay the fuck out my—
[Chorus]
Who's gonna save us
Who's gonna save us
Who's gonna save us
Now, now?
Now, now?
Who's gonna save us now?
[Verse 2]
Who gon' say to niggas
It can't be me cause I'm a nigga myself
[?]

Just got insurance for Audi
But no insurance for health
But I'm just being myself
Maybe because I grew up on the Southside
Where we just wanted to be seen and get some shine
That's why I dreamt about a Rollie all day and night
See I just wanted for the whites so my first pass flights
So I just won't feel so mothafuckin uncomfortable
The way I felt when white boys always broke out the Lunchables
I wish my family could be much more like the Huxtables
You start to feel like God just might not really fuck with you
Just like this game
Lot of industry dickridin, dawg
Now that's some hoe shit
Pussy niggas give coldest of shoulders
That's ten-below shit
Where I'm from it stayed dropped down to the knees
Now that's Girbaud shit
I'm the nicest and no, I don't play
That's Derrick Rose shit
Man I'll be onto something, I'll be onto something
We can call our own
We always button [?] all we want is money
Just so we can blow our
Paper when we satisfied
Until we really get to know
God and the plan he got for us
That's the only thing stopping us
[Chorus]
Who's gonna save us
Who's gonna save us now, now?
Who's gonna save us now?
Who's gonna save us now?
[Outro]
Who's gonna save us now?
