On the first track of his debut album, MGK reminisces on the past. He talks about all of his hardships in Cleveland and how he hoped that one day something would save him, his daughter, and friends from the struggle of being a broke-ass no-name. However, he also lets the listeners know that he will...

[Verse: Machine Gun Kelly]
Uh, from the bottom of the ash I rose
Yeah, to the top I go
Where I'm from its cold
But I don't need this coat (nah)
Keep my sleeves rolled
Got my city's area code on my shoulder (whattup)
216 forever in my soul
Swear to God every single night its gets colder
No heat so we all around that stove
Like "Fuck this broke shit", petty ass hustlin
Couldn't even sell one zone
Slim still workin' at the store and the only time we ever get to eat is when he brings something home
Everyday's dark here
Prayin for a rainbow to lead us to that pot of gold
And exchange those nights on a concrete floor
For a bottle of Rose to pop that bitch off like we suppose to
Never gave a fuck if we went gold
I just wanna be able to say that "I made it"
'Cause real EST mufuckas don't fold
Real EST mufuckas don't break up, real family grows old
Real EST mufuckers representin' for the city where they came even when they gone
And fuck this throne, ain't no kings
No pretty princess, ain't no queen
No fairy tale endings on the eastside
Just these broken homes and those screams
Broken bones underneath these jeans
Broken bricks cover up my streets
Fiends outside trying to get they fix
While my first born in here trying to get sleep
Muthafuck this rap shit
Try buryin' your boy six feet, let me show you 'bout real
Try telling me that you can't make it up out the city 26 dollars to multi-mills
Face inside of the XXL
Then try coming back to the eastside still
Well bitch I did, and it's still the kid
Labeled a Bad Boy before this deal
What up Slim, Dub, Xplo, Dre, Swirv, Ash, my boy BK
And everybody from the beginning that bled with me knowing I would be here one day
So as I roll through all the hoods that raised me
Lookin' at the house of pain
I'ma runaway from the ones that pay me
Hopin I'll stay the same
[Outro: M. Shadows]
Can't you save me?
Can't you save me?
Can't you save me?
Can't you save me?
[Guitar Solo: Synyster Gates]
Save Me was written by Synyster Gates & Rami Beatz & Woodro Skillson & M. Shadows & mgk.
Save Me was produced by Rami Beatz & Woodro Skillson.
That was one of my proudest moments yet. I actually have an Avenged Sevenfold tattoo on my body. I remember being in the room with them when they recorded the intro and thinking to myself how good it sounded without any of the production even being on it yet. It gave me goosebumps.
