Give Me Shelter by ell aych (rapper) Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2021

[Ell Aych]
Baby babyyy

[Tupac]
But let's not be selfish and because we not gone change the world let's not talk about how we should change it
I don't how to change it, but I know if I keep talking about how dirty it is out here somebody gone clean it up

H

[Verse 1: Ell Aych]
Time is money is money
Can't afford to be a minute late

I got the juice I need a sponsorship from minute maid

This for them times we ain't have a way or have a play
I need shelter and some food up on my dinner plate

Through all of life's lessons know what it reminded me
You can't judge a fish by how well it can climb a tree
How you move when the system is rigged and
People like you and me ain't supose to succeed

These mothers out stressed cause her kids out holding the streets
See the pain in her eyes clutching rosary beads

My only goal is holding the peace
I want everybody that listen to be holding a piece
Of the pie
If you aim for the moon then you guaranteed the sky
I wanna see us all fly
How do you know you can't do it if you never try

Moment of silence for talent that never made it
Just know that you celebrated

[Chorus]
Through the ups and the downs I'll be by your side
Whatever you need I'm down to ride

{Gimmie Shelter baby}

From a place to rest your head to conversation
We all need liberation

{Gimmie Shelter baby}
To the little boy without a father
To the woman that don't have a mother

{Gimmie Shelter baby}

We gotta see the world for what it really is and
All we got is each other

{Need that Shelter baby}

[Verse 2: Ell Aych]
People raised on love see the world a lil bit different
Than those raised on survival

But f*ck it
Sometimes you gotta kidnap the mascot of your rival
To let then know that you arrived

Only rapper coulda survived the era of disciple
Somebody gotta write the new bible

And why not us
We survived a pandemic a recession
Mental health is important half the world is in depression
Not to mention
That it's 2021 and we still fighting off oppression
And they wonder what's the root of our agression
That just leads me to question

The secret meetings and the sessions
Where they draw up the plan bout how to maximize impressions

My advice to get ahead
Develop an obsession
An never let them stear you in any other direction

Knowledge is only power when applied

For your dreams to come just gotta open your eyes

[Chorus]
Through the ups and the downs I'll be by your side
Whatever you need I'm down to ride

{Gimmie Shelter baby}

From a place to rest your head to conversation
We all need liberation

{Gimmie Shelter baby}

To the little boy without a father
To the woman that don't have a mother

{Gimmie Shelter baby}

We gotta see the world for what it really is and
All we got is each other

{Need that Shelter baby}
