Save Me by The Stonesbury

Rap verse 1

I sat in my room watching the news at night,

I saw two different countries that were in a fight.

Blood was spilled, with burnt trees strayed at the hill,

They don’t think about how the Mother Nature feels!

I wish that the world would go back to the olden days,

Not like this world, where trees and rivers decay.

God created the nature and it was flawless!

But we destroy it while being thoughtless!

Brothers, excuse me for saying this,

You’ll ponder about the nature that your legacy will miss.

You think of clothes, foods, and diamonds to wear,

But you forget about the earth who screams to be repaired!

Bridge :

When all is gone, what’s left to take

When all of this are gone, what’s left for you to take

When all is gone, what’s left to take

When all of this are gone, what’s left for you to take

Chorus:

Save me

From the greed of of all your dreams and fathers

Save me

From the hands that pave me for a dollar

I wont be here for so long

If youre just singing to this song

Cant u see all this rusty tears

We’ve been here for so many years

Save me

From the hands that pave me for a dollar

Rap verse 2

To feel the nature, I went to the riverside,

To watch the fishes swimming with nothing to hide.

There were amphibians, mammals, and reptiles too!

I said Alhamdulillah, the sky and river are so blue!

But the river turned dark, stamped by devil’s mark.

I saw trucks; they came with two guys and parked.

What I saw that day made me sick to my liver,

Thinking “what we’ve done to this precious river.”.

They threw toxic waste, doing whatever they please,

The earth is dying, slowly rotting as she yelps,

If we take this road, earth will surely be missed.

Please just think about it, the Mother Nature needs our help.

2^nd Chorus

Bridge

Save me

From the greed of of all your dreams and fathers

Save me

From the hands that pave me for a dollar
