There's a war going on outside

Yeah, I

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 (That we will wake up)

When night takes to 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 arise (Ugh)

I'll be by your side

You're my lucky dime

Wyclef told me, "Call 9-1-1"

But who do you call when the ambulancеs don't come?

Or watch as the ones sworn by law to protеct us

Wrongfully convict us, then call the corrections

Next, they bail the banks out when we in recession

Or hang us in a jail cell so they could swing the elections

I walk Chicago streets with potholes that's 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? (Yeah, I)

Tryna get on your feet playing the hand they dealt ya

If your house is not a home, let this song be your shelter

Shelter, shelter

I'll be your shelter

Emergency

Please count on me, yeah, I

I'll be your superhero

When danger arise (When danger arrives)

I'll be by your side (I'll be by your side)

You're my lucky dime

It's a hunnid bags under the underpass

Rumbling stomachs, cups jingle when Hummers pass

Brisk wind, 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

Her abuser went to jail, but that nigga been out

Producer was in-house, they closer than 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 they 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'd be broke

I'll be your shelter

Emergency

Please count on me, yeah

I'll be your superhero

When danger arise (Ugh)

I'll be by your side

I write for my niggas doing life with no possibility of parole

You playing Fortnite, that's how long he spent in the hole

Live from death row, free my nigga Julius Jones

I had a dream that Mumia was home, I speak freedom in song

'Cause all I see is racist faces

Where hate lives and they rape kids in cages

What kind of nation lynch Elijah McClain?

And 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"

'Stead 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, we could be free

I know you'll be my shelter from the storm

I know you'll be my shelter from the storm

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
