Save Yourself

[Chorus: Blakk Soul]
What's lost seeming lost could always be found
Chains don't stay bound forever
Open up and set yourself free

[Verse 1: Nana]
I know this girl from around the way that wanted to act
Coming to LA from New York she was focused on that
Exotic dancing at Sam's after making her move
Part-time gig she carried that was paying for school
She met a guy one night at dance wasn't enough
Aggressively filling on her she felt something was up
What's your Instagram put your number into my phone
Couldn't take no for an answer so he followed her home
Head on a swivel alert as he started to lurk
Pushed up on hеr hand up her shirt lifting her skirt
The typе of coward ass nigga sick in his head
Had her bruised beaten raped then he left her for dead
She fell in a deep depression life never the same
Started pill popping and drinking to deal with the pain
Overdosing was her plan Henny, oxy and xans
Her mom came and saw it all in her hand and knew she gotta be saved

[Chorus: Blakk Soul]
What's lost seeming lost could always be found
Chains don't stay bound forever
Open up and set yourself free (free)

[Verse 2: Nana]
Everything that I speak into a mic is felt
My mom told me be less self righteous never write for self
Even if it is a cry for help ain't nothing promised in life even life itself
I know a guy from high school that was trapped in his ways
Only option was the pen or a grave addiction comes in many forms of street life you see his brother was slain
From a bullet that he caught from a stray
Just a victim of a vicious cycle that he always was in
Enemies just killed his friend now he's plottin' revenge
But an eye for an eye is all he ever was taught
Take one of his he'll retaliate and leave 'em in chalk
Said we gon' link up in the hood right before it get dark
Two cars deep outside of Jim Gilliam park
Right before walking out the door and grabbing his gun
His girl called and said he's having a son, he knew he gotta be saved

[Chorus: Blakk Soul]
What's lost seeming lost could always be found (always be, can always be found)
Chains don't stay bound forever
Open up and set yourself free (free, yeah)

[Verse 3: Nana]
I'll never be picture perfect Beyoncé
I barely read the word couldn't tell you what psalms say
A preacher son grew up in the church as a kid
But I never cleaned my hands from the dirt that I did
They say he comforts with a rod and a staff
I could have eternal life if I follow his path?
I know the life I'm living is fast how long till I crash?
I'd rather follow the cash how strong is my faith? How long will it last?
The truth is I ain't really got the time
See I'm trying to get this money got a lot that's on my mind
And I'm still chasing hoes got a lot that's on my line
A wise man told me if you seek his face is what you'll find
That's when I stepped in church and told 'em give me a sign
The preacher turned around from his direction and pointed in mine
See I never met this man but he called me by name
To the front of the sanctuary tears came knowing I gotta be saved

[Chorus: Blakk Soul]
What's lost seeming lost could always be found (found, ohhhh)
Chains don't stay bound forever (chains don't stay bound)
Open up and set yourself free (free)
