KaranjaNoumbaCrews, Mic Capes - Hip Hop Saved My Life lyrics

You caught me in some tryin times/ Walkin through fire wit gasoline and a lighter/ Situation was dyer came just in time sec later/ I woulda been Richard prior in prison or died from violence/ Wildin to earn stripes a minor when we first met/ Heard you speakin from a tape deck/ Loud and proud from them speakers wasn't just speakin either/ Soundin more like a teacher needed guidance you supplied it/ And wasn't just preachin either I could feel it in my heart from the start/ You was the big homie tension was thick inside my crib/ I'd never get lonely taught me to stay strong and keep faith/ Like a brother from another when my bro was in the streets I Could be safe/ And remain focused from bogus homie/ Homie you helped me see straight/ You was the only one I had left/ So right now I'd like to thank you for savin me from a bad debt/
