 [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..

 So many misconceptions
