Wyclef Jean：
There's a war going on outside
That nobody 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 to morning
But if no alarm rings you can count on one thing
Wyclef Jean/VIC MENSA：
I'll be your shelter
Emergency
Please count on me yeah
I'll be your superhero
When danger arrives
Uh
I'll be by your side
You're my lucky dime
VIC MENSA/Wyclef Jean：
Wyclef told me "Call 9-1-1"
But who do you call when the ambulances don't come
Or watch as the ones sworn by law to protect us
Wrongfully convict us then call the corrections
Next they bail the banks out when we in recession
Or hang us in a jail cell so they could swing the election
I walk Chicago streets with potholes that's deep
And Tahoes creep like T.L.C.
Hospital workers in scrubs with no P-P-E
But they got money for riot gear my n***a we dyin' 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
Yeah
Tryna get on your feet playin' the hand they dealt ya
If your house is not a home let this song be a shelter
Wyclef Jean/Chance The Rapper：
I'll be your shelter
Emergency
Please count on me yeah
I'll be your superhero
When danger arrives
When danger arrives
I'll be by your side
I'll be by your side
You're my lucky dime
Chance The Rapper：
It's a hunnid bags under the underpass
Rumblin' stomachs cups jingle when Hummers pass
Brisk wind summer's done winter is comin' 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
Her abuser went to jail but that n***a been out
Producer was in-house they closer than 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 there's n***as 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
Wyclef Jean/VIC MENSA：
I'll be your shelter
Emergency
Please count on me yeah
I'll be your superhero
When danger arrives
Uh
I'll be by your side
VIC MENSA：
I write for my n***as doin' life with no possibility of parole
You playing Fortnite that's how long you spend in a hole
Live from Death Row free my n***a Julius Jones
I had a dream that Mumia was home I speak freedom in song
'Cause all I see is racist faces
Where hate lives and they rape kids in cages
What kinda nation lynch Elijah McClain
And 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 singin' 'We could be free
We could be free
Peter CottonTale：
I know you'll be my shelter from the storm
I know you'll be my shelter from the storm
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh
Oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
