Cant Save Em All

from Murals & Mayhem by Pawz One & Preed One

lyrics

This is music for the kid still fighting on dialysis
Immigrant pops hands covered in calluses
Just to cover rent, his check fully spent
Seen the full extent how we went from being content
To craving something lavish never knowing what it meant
Hard to see through the eyes of another
It's beautiful one stays alive for the other
Want it all, then don't flinch go take the risk
Self-respect missing it don't even make the list
Look it's not what you want but what you probably need
It's got to be greed lost but follow My lead
But it's hard to make the call cuz you can't save them all

(Hook)

No you can't save them all
even the noblest deeds don't go unpunished
Just know you can't save them all
We let karma do her job release the need to be a hero

Some people play roles from the moment that they wake up
Living their best lives through the lies that they make up
Some apply makeup, black eyes covered over
Say the same shit he doesn't hit you when he's sober
Seen the cycle, that's why your head keeps spinning
Look at all the bullshit they fed these women
positions that they've been in when they thought they wouldn't make it
Made a prison out of lies truth is they won't escape it
Sometimes there's no choice other than run
Stay strong when the clouds come and cover the Sun
Recognize it in your face cuz my mother was one
but It's hard to make the call cuz you can't save them all

(Hook)

You can be anything, they allow you to be
That's why you only catch what they allow you to see
And now you, see what Fame don't have a value to me
I tell you, again and again and it don't sink in
Just another road where the signs keep blinking
Greed on both sides gold chains and dope rides
Dollar signs in both eyes that's when the Hope dies
And most guys miss what they lose in the trade
Illusions from the land where all the movies are made
Cruising Walk of Fame, bums right next to this
Yelling at his mess possessed like exorcist
And some got to look like they're waiting for the Exodus
but It's hard to make the call cuz you can't save them all
