SHELTER
Peter CottonTale, Victor Mensah, Aja Monet Brian Harrington, Alex Baez, Ali Shaheed Muhammed, Andrew De Caro, Chancelor J. Bennett, Carey Iceface, Darian Garcia, Johan Lenox, Malik Yusef, Nel Ust Wyclef Jean
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
When night takes the 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 arrives
I'll be by your side (uh)
You're my lucky dime (uh)
Wyclef told me call 911
But who do you call when the ambulances don't come
Or watch as the ones sworn by law protect us
Wrongfully convict us then call it corrections
Next, they bail the banks out when we in recession
And hang us in the jail cell so they can swing the elections
I walk Chicago streets where pot holes is 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
Tryna get on your feet, playing the hand they dealt ya
If your house is not a home let this song be your shelter
I'll be your shelter
Emergency
Please count on me (yeah, I)
I'll be your superhero
When danger arrives
I'll be by your side
You're my lucky dime
It's a hundred bags under the underpass
Rumbling stomachs, cups jingle when Hummers pass
Brisk winds, 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
Abuser went to jail but that nigga been out
Producer was in house, they closer then 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 their 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 would be broke
I'll be your shelter
Emergency
Please count on me (yeah, I)
I'll be your superhero
When danger arrives
I'll be by your side (uh)
I write for my niggas doing life with no possibility of parole
You playing Fortnite, that's how long you spent in a hole
Live from Death Row, free my nigga Julius Jones
I had a dream that Mumia was home, I speak freedom in songs
'Cause all I see is racist faces
Where hate lives and they rape kids in cages
What kinda nation lynch Elijah McClain?
Then 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
Instead 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)
I know you'll be my shelter from the storm
I know you'll be my shelter from the storm
There's a war going on outside
Il y a une guerre qui se déroule à l'extérieur
That nobody's safe from
Dont personne n'est à l'abri
But here in my arms
Mais ici dans mes bras
I'll keep you from harm
Je te protégerai du mal
There's no guarantee tonight
Il n'y a aucune garantie ce soir
That we will wake up
Que nous nous réveillerons
When night takes the morning
Quand la nuit prend le matin
But if no alarm rings

I'll be by your side (uh)
Je serai à tes côtés (uh)
You're my lucky dime (uh)
Tu es mon porte-bonheur (uh)
Wyclef told me call 911
Wyclef m'a dit d'appeler le 911
But who do you call when the ambulances don't come
Mais qui appelles-tu quand les ambulances ne viennent pas
Or watch as the ones sworn by law protect us
Ou regarder comme ceux qui sont assermentés par la loi pour nous protéger
Wrongfully convict us then call it corrections
Nous condamnent à tort puis appellent ça des corrections
Next, they bail the banks out when we in recession
Ensuite, ils renflouent les banques quand nous sommes en récession
And hang us in the jail cell so they can swing the elections
Et nous pendons dans la cellule de prison pour qu'ils puissent faire basculer les élections

Et aux nouvelles, tout ce que tu vois, ce sont des homicides
Tell me why it ain't no trauma units when everybody traumatized
Dis-moi pourquoi il n'y a pas d'unités de traumatologie quand tout le monde est traumatisé
Tryna get on your feet, playing the hand they dealt ya
Essayer de se remettre sur pied, jouer la main qu'ils t'ont donnée

Si ta maison n'est pas un foyer, laisse cette chanson être ton abri
I'll be your shelter
Je serai ton abri

Je serai à tes côtés
You're my lucky dime
Tu es mon porte-bonheur
It's a hundred bags under the underpass
Il y a cent sacs sous le passage souterrain
Rumbling stomachs, cups jingle when Hummers pass
Des estomacs qui grondent, des gobelets qui tintent quand les Hummers passent
Brisk winds, summer's done, winter is coming fast
Des vents vifs, l'été est fini, l'hiver arrive vite
And then they Zoom teacher wonder why they don't come to class

How they only wanted to protect their family
Comment ils voulaient seulement protéger leur famille
While it's niggas out here that make it worse for they folks
Alors qu'il y a des mecs ici qui empirent les choses pour leur peuple
It's a deeper, hotter hell for the worst of these folks
C'est un enfer plus profond et plus chaud pour le pire de ces gens
It's a mystery, we never heard the murder she wrote
C'est un mystère, nous n'avons jamais entendu le meurtre qu'elle a écrit
If we finally paid her back the whole earth would be broke
Si nous la remboursions enfin, toute la terre serait en faillite
I'll be your shelter
Je serai ton abri

Urgence
Please count on me (yeah, I)
S'il te plaît, compte sur moi (ouais, je)

Parce que tout ce que je vois, ce sont des visages racistes

Puis nous envoie au Moyen-Orient pour mourir pour le drapeau
They drive us insane to sell us medication

I found faith when I lost hope
J'ai trouvé la foi quand j'ai perdu espoir
That's when Julius reminded me of a bar I wrote
C'est alors que Julius m'a rappelé une barre que j'ai écrite
Behind bars on the yard where they dream of the street
Derrière les barreaux dans la cour où ils rêvent de la rue
On death row singing we could be free (we could be free)
