Shelter [jan's Big Funk] Lyrics - Elephantitis: The Funk House Remixes, Vol. 2 - Brand New Heavies

I was born in the city 

There's no flies on me 

Life can't deliver 

No surprise to me 

Got a head full of trouble 

The world's weight on my back 

I'm a fighter 

I survive like that 

I'm a modern enigma 

I am living proof 

Cold eyes speaking volumes 

Of my troubled youth 

I believe in the future 

>From mistakes I have grown 

Leaving the shadows 

Which were once my home 

Need your hand to help me over 

Need your shoulder 

Need your light to bring me closer 

To your shelter 

Been so long in the bitter 

City air I breath 

Seen a million believers 

Cry in disbelief 

I won't give in to the pressure 

Keep my spirit intact 

'Cause I know when I need you 

You will watch my back 

CHORUS: 

Need your hand to help me over 

Need your shoulder 

Need light to bring me closer 

To your shelter 

Need your hand to help me over 

Need your shoulder 

Need your light to bring me closer 

To your shelter 

They can't take you away from me 

When they try it only makes me stronger 

Through the dark it's your light I see 

Helping to show me the way 

Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter 

Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter 

Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter 

Knowing I'll be safe in your shelter 

Repeat Chorus Once
