[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..
