Today is gonna be the day
That theyre gonna throw it back to you
By now, you shouldve somehow realized what you gotta do
I dont believe that anybody feels the way I do
About you now
Verse 1
Without rap Id be a basket case
I grew up in the projects, no path was safe
I couldnt run to church, all the pastors aint straight
Im a product of the hood, thank God for the escape
Sound mind, not making irrational mistakes
I mightve stuck up kids, a ski mask on the face
Dungarees, fatigues, strap on my waist
Trying to catch a vic, and end up catching a case
I mightve moved packages, trafficking weight
Id always be paro when Im passing the jakes
I mightve got clapped, thats not my fate
I cant see myself in a casket for a wake
Instead I stay fly and fashionably late
I do what I do so the fans will embrace
S-H-A-K-E-S
P-E-A-R, I love you death
Chorus:
Cause maybe
You gonna be the one that saves me
(You gotta be the one that saves me, you gotta be the one that saves me)
And after all
Youre my Wonderwall
(Hip-Hop, you my Wonderwall, Hip-Hop, you my Wonderwall)
Verse 2
I can say rap saved my life
It gave therapy on those crazy nights
After my mommy died, I felt pain and strife
Though my heart was achy, it made me write
So Id listen to what Nas and Jay-Z recite
And in turn I learned, and it made me bright
When I lost vision, it gave me sight
It even taught friendship, it gave me Cyph
I learned heartbreak when labels played me twice
But it damn near raised me through the 80s right
From the Daisy Age to present day life
The mic gave me light, enraged me to fight
It saved me, shaped me, its basically like
Everything I love, like a baby or wife
It gave you insight to what Shaky is like
And I love Hip-hop cause you made me this nice
Chorus: 2x
