Derell

[Samples "Who's Gonna Save My Soul" by Gnarls Barkley] [Verse 1: Savan DePaul] Meet Derell- a troubled young teen Mom's been gone long, for weeks it seems Father's not even around- an even worse fact It's amazing that Derell's here on Earth intact But he was still broken and choking Words to his friends were barely spoken He was full of anger, but hoping That Satan would turn and stop tryin' to corrode things What our subject fails to realize He's still worth saving in the Good Lord's eyes [Chorus] Who's gonna save my soul now? Who's gonna save my soul now? How will my story ever be told now? How will my story be told now? [Verse 2] Roaming the ghetto This hood is screwed While he has two women literally screwed Derell's morals out of the window Like blown out of a skyscraper to the ground below And don't tell him that this is the wrong way to live He threatens many with pistols and shit, missiles and fists But can't steer his own life away from strife Derell needs to disown the trife Cause right now, he was blaming God for all this horror And as for insanity, he was on the border... And as for insanity, he was on the border... And as for insanity, he was on the border... [Chorus] Who's gonna save my soul now? Who's gonna save my soul now? I wonder if I'll live to grow old now [Verse 3] Drug abuse and alcohol have made things horrible Abandoned everything and retreated to a corridor His eyes saw nothing but pain The tears and the years of damage to his brain He shouted, "Who's gonna save my soul now?!?" But no one was around; he was alone now Cold now with nowhere to go now He didn't disown the trife or end his old strife Instead, he opted to take his own life Would he get the knife to cut? Then he glanced at his prized shotgun Shouted out to the sky, "God, you see what you've done!" Without realizing he was the evil one A single shot went off, bone broken by metal And now Derell's doing a dance with the devil... (*gunshot*) [Chorus] Who's gonna save my soul now? Who's gonna save my soul now? Oh, I know I'm out of control now Oooohh, tired enough to lay my own soul down
