There's a war going on outside
That nobody's safe from
But here in my arms
I'll keep you from harm
There's no guarantee tonight
That we will wake up
When night takes the morning
But if no alarm rings
You can count on one thing
I'll be your shelter
Emergency
Please count on me, yeah, I
I'll be your superhero
When danger arrives
I'll be by your side (uh)
You're my lucky dime (uh)
Wyclef told me call 911
But who do you call when the ambulances don't come
Or watch as the ones sworn by law protect us
Wrongfully convict us then call it corrections
Next, they bail the banks out when we in recession
And hang us in the jail cell so they can swing the elections
I walk Chicago streets where pot holes is deep and Tahoes creep like TLC
Hospital workers in scrubs with no PPE
But they got money for riot gear, my nigga, we dying here, yeah
You tell me not to move with my gun
But we got more funeral homes than schools where I'm from
And on the news all you view is homicides
Tell me why it ain't no trauma units when everybody traumatized
Tryna get on your feet, playing the hand they dealt ya
If your house is not a home let this song be your shelter
I'll be your shelter
Emergency
Please count on me (yeah, I)
I'll be your superhero
When danger arrives
I'll be by your side
You're my lucky dime
It's a hundred bags under the underpass
Rumbling stomachs, cups jingle when Hummers pass
Brisk winds, summer's done, winter is coming fast
And then they Zoom teacher wonder why they don't come to class
The internet been out, the hot water been out
She moved to her aunt's house, then to her friend's couch
Abuser went to jail but that nigga been out
Producer was in house, they closer then pen pals
Homeless in the home of the slaves, I wonder how that would feel
The manifested destiny a bunch of land they could steal
Think about Kenneth Walker and Philando Castile
How they only wanted to protect their family
While it's niggas out here that make it worse for they folks
It's a deeper, hotter hell for the worst of these folks
It's a mystery, we never heard the murder she wrote
If we finally paid her back the whole earth would be broke
I'll be your shelter
Emergency
Please count on me (yeah, I)
I'll be your superhero
When danger arrives
I'll be by your side (uh)
I write for my niggas doing life with no possibility of parole
You playing Fortnite, that's how long you spent in a hole
Live from Death Row, free my nigga Julius Jones
I had a dream that Mumia was home, I speak freedom in songs
'Cause all I see is racist faces
Where hate lives and they rape kids in cages
What kinda nation lynch Elijah McClain?
Then send us to the Middle East to die for the flag
They drive us insane to sell us medication
We demand reparations and they tell us have patience
Instead of cash payments, we get minimum wages
They give us the black plague, then send us a white savior
I found faith when I lost hope
That's when Julius reminded me of a bar I wrote
Behind bars on the yard where they dream of the street
On death row singing we could be free (we could be free)
I know you'll be my shelter from the storm
I know you'll be my shelter from the storm
There's a war going on outside
C'è una guerra in corso fuori
That nobody's safe from
Da cui nessuno è al sicuro
But here in my arms
Ma qui tra le mie braccia
I'll keep you from harm
Ti proteggerò dal male
There's no guarantee tonight
Non c'è garanzia stasera
That we will wake up
Che ci sveglieremo
When night takes the morning
Quando la notte prende il mattino
But if no alarm rings
Ma se non suona nessuna sveglia
You can count on one thing
Puoi contare su una cosa
I'll be your shelter
Sarò il tuo rifugio
Emergency
Emergenza
Please count on me, yeah, I
Per favore conta su di me, sì, io
I'll be your superhero
Sarò il tuo supereroe
When danger arrives
Quando arriva il pericolo
I'll be by your side (uh)
Sarò al tuo fianco (uh)
You're my lucky dime (uh)
Sei il mio portafortuna (uh)
Wyclef told me call 911
Wyclef mi ha detto di chiamare il 911
But who do you call when the ambulances don't come
Ma chi chiami quando le ambulanze non arrivano
Or watch as the ones sworn by law protect us
O guardi mentre quelli giurati per legge a proteggerci
Wrongfully convict us then call it corrections
Ci condannano ingiustamente e poi lo chiamano correzioni
Next, they bail the banks out when we in recession
Poi, salvano le banche quando siamo in recessione
And hang us in the jail cell so they can swing the elections
E ci impiccano in cella per poter manipolare le elezioni
I walk Chicago streets where pot holes is deep and Tahoes creep like TLC
Cammino per le strade di Chicago dove i buchi sono profondi e i Tahoe si muovono furtivamente come i TLC
Hospital workers in scrubs with no PPE
Operatori ospedalieri in camice senza DPI
But they got money for riot gear, my nigga, we dying here, yeah
Ma hanno soldi per l'attrezzatura antisommossa, mio amico, stiamo morendo qui, sì
You tell me not to move with my gun
Mi dici di non muovermi con la mia pistola
But we got more funeral homes than schools where I'm from
Ma abbiamo più case funerarie che scuole da dove vengo
And on the news all you view is homicides
E alle notizie tutto quello che vedi sono omicidi
Tell me why it ain't no trauma units when everybody traumatized
Dimmi perché non ci sono unità di trauma quando tutti sono traumatizzati
Tryna get on your feet, playing the hand they dealt ya
Cercando di rimetterti in piedi, giocando la mano che ti hanno dato
If your house is not a home let this song be your shelter
Se la tua casa non è una casa lascia che questa canzone sia il tuo rifugio
I'll be your shelter
Sarò il tuo rifugio
Emergency
Emergenza
Please count on me (yeah, I)
Per favore conta su di me (sì, io)
I'll be your superhero
Sarò il tuo supereroe
When danger arrives
Quando arriva il pericolo
I'll be by your side
Sarò al tuo fianco
You're my lucky dime
Sei il mio portafortuna
It's a hundred bags under the underpass
Ci sono cento sacchi sotto il cavalcavia
Rumbling stomachs, cups jingle when Hummers pass
Stomaci che brontolano, tazze che tintinnano quando passano gli Hummer
Brisk winds, summer's done, winter is coming fast
Venti freddi, l'estate è finita, l'inverno sta arrivando velocemente
And then they Zoom teacher wonder why they don't come to class
E poi l'insegnante su Zoom si chiede perché non vengono a lezione
The internet been out, the hot water been out
Internet è fuori, l'acqua calda è fuori
She moved to her aunt's house, then to her friend's couch
Si è trasferita a casa della zia, poi sul divano di un'amica
Abuser went to jail but that nigga been out
L'abusante è andato in prigione ma quel tizio è già fuori
Producer was in house, they closer then pen pals
Il produttore era in casa, erano più vicini di pen pals
Homeless in the home of the slaves, I wonder how that would feel
Senza casa nella casa degli schiavi, mi chiedo come si sentirebbe
The manifested destiny a bunch of land they could steal
Il destino manifesto un mucchio di terra che potevano rubare
Think about Kenneth Walker and Philando Castile
Pensa a Kenneth Walker e Philando Castile
How they only wanted to protect their family
Come volevano solo proteggere la loro famiglia
While it's niggas out here that make it worse for they folks
Mentre ci sono ragazzi là fuori che peggiorano le cose per la loro gente
It's a deeper, hotter hell for the worst of these folks
C'è un inferno più profondo e più caldo per i peggiori di questi ragazzi
It's a mystery, we never heard the murder she wrote
È un mistero, non abbiamo mai sentito il delitto che ha scritto
If we finally paid her back the whole earth would be broke
Se finalmente le pagassimo indietro, l'intera terra sarebbe in rovina
I'll be your shelter
Sarò il tuo rifugio
Emergency
Emergenza
Please count on me (yeah, I)
Per favore conta su di me (sì, io)
I'll be your superhero
Sarò il tuo supereroe
When danger arrives
Quando arriva il pericolo
I'll be by your side (uh)
Sarò al tuo fianco (uh)
I write for my niggas doing life with no possibility of parole
Scrivo per i miei amici che stanno scontando l'ergastolo senza possibilità di libertà condizionale
You playing Fortnite, that's how long you spent in a hole
Stai giocando a Fortnite, è quanto tempo hai passato in un buco
Live from Death Row, free my nigga Julius Jones
In diretta dal braccio della morte, libera il mio amico Julius Jones
I had a dream that Mumia was home, I speak freedom in songs
Ho sognato che Mumia era a casa, parlo di libertà nelle canzoni
'Cause all I see is racist faces
Perché tutto quello che vedo sono facce razziste
Where hate lives and they rape kids in cages
Dove vive l'odio e violentano i bambini nelle gabbie
What kinda nation lynch Elijah McClain?
Che tipo di nazione lincia Elijah McClain?
Then send us to the Middle East to die for the flag
Poi ci mandano in Medio Oriente a morire per la bandiera
They drive us insane to sell us medication
Ci fanno impazzire per venderci i farmaci
We demand reparations and they tell us have patience
Chiediamo riparazioni e ci dicono di avere pazienza
Instead of cash payments, we get minimum wages
Invece di pagamenti in contanti, riceviamo salari minimi
They give us the black plague, then send us a white savior
Ci danno la peste nera, poi ci mandano un salvatore bianco
I found faith when I lost hope
Ho trovato la fede quando ho perso la speranza
That's when Julius reminded me of a bar I wrote
È allora che Julius mi ha ricordato una barra che ho scritto
Behind bars on the yard where they dream of the street
Dietro le sbarre nel cortile dove sognano la strada
On death row singing we could be free (we could be free)
Nel braccio della morte cantando che potremmo essere liberi (potremmo essere liberi)
I know you'll be my shelter from the storm
So che sarai il mio rifugio dalla tempesta
I know you'll be my shelter from the storm
So che sarai il mio rifugio dalla tempesta
