Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[The Weeknd]

I'm always ready for a war again

Go down that road again

It's all the same

I'm always ready to take a life again

You know I'll ride again

It's all the same (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Tell me who's gon' save me from myself

When this life is all I know

Tell me who's gon' save me from this hell

Without you, I'm all alone

Who gon' pray for me?

Take my pain for me?

Save my soul for me?

'Cause I'm alone, you see

If I'm gon' die for you

If I'm gon' kill for you

Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey

[Kendrick Lamar]

I fight the world, I fight you, I fight myself

I fight God, just tell me how many burdens left

I fight pain and hurricanes, today I wept

I'm tryna fight back tears, flood on my doorsteps

Life a livin' hell, puddles of blood in the streets

Shooters on top of the building, government aiding relief

Earthquake, the body drop, the ground breaks

The poor one with smoke lungs and Scarface

Who need a hero? (hero)

You need a hero, look in the mirror, there go your hero

Who on the front lines at Ground Zero? (hero)

My heart don't skip a beat, even when hard times bumps the needle

Mass destruction and mass corruption

Their souls are sufferin' men

Clutchin' on deaf ears again, rapture is comin'

It's all prophecy and if I gotta be

Sacrificed for the greater good, then that's what it gotta be

[The Weeknd]

Who gon' pray for me?

Take my pain for me?

Save my soul for me?

'Cause I'm alone, you see

If I'm gon' die for you

If I'm gon' kill for you

Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey (hey)

Hey (hey), hey

Hey (hey), hey

Hey (hey), hey

Hey (hey), hey

Who gon' pray for me?

Take my pain for me?

Save my soul for me?

'Cause I'm alone, you see

If I'm gon' die for you

If I'm gon' kill for you

Then I'll spill this blood for you, hey

[Kendrick Lamar & The Weeknd]

Just in case my faith go

I live by my own law

I live by my own law

I live by my own

Just in case my faith go

I live by my own law

I live by my own law

I live by my own.
