Audio Savior
Laws Lyrics

Say, I'm the savior, that's a lot of weight on my shoulders
Laws acknowledges that his role as an audio savior is a huge responsibility.

The audio savior, the entity's out of my focus
Laws recognizes that saving hip-hop through audio means requires a lot of focus and attention to detail.

They saying I spit proper but then respect turn into stigmata
Despite being a skilled rapper, Laws has faced disrespect and ridicule from others in the industry.

Back in the day, I wasn't responsive, now I'm responsible
Laws used to be indifferent to the influence and impact his music has on others, but now he takes that responsibility seriously.

For this hip-hop shit, tell me when one of the stuck up kids need my help
Laws is willing to offer his help to people who love hip-hop but may have been excluded or neglected by other rappers.

Since my battling days, I've tried to distance myself
Laws no longer wants to engage in rap battles and competition, and instead focuses on elevating hip-hop through his music.

A small percentage of you no longer admire Laws
While Laws has lost some fans along the way, he remains confident in his abilities and mission.

But I'm Laws and Laws getting tired of bored
Laws is not satisfied with being complacent and stagnant in his career, and strives to keep evolving as an artist.

I was cable access, now I'm on some Viacom
Laws has come a long way from being a relatively unknown artist to now being recognized on a major platform.

They wanna bring my origin up again and again
People constantly bring up Laws' ethnicity and background, which he finds frustrating and limiting.

My skin tone may make you think I'm Puerto Rican
Laws recognizes that his appearance may lead people to make assumptions about his background and culture.

I'm with my head covered, maybe an Arabian
Even though Laws does not practice Islam, he is aware that his head covering may make people think otherwise.

My adopted family was Puerto rock, is that any different?
Laws' adopted family is Puerto Rican, and he questions why people make a big deal out of his cultural identity.

So I'm the next Latin with an exceptional flow
Laws is a talented rapper who also happens to be of Latin descent, and he wants to be recognized for his skills rather than his cultural background.

But that brings more problems, let's say that oh
Even though Laws is proud of his heritage, he acknowledges that it also comes with its own set of challenges and assumptions.

You move to a town that's only white
Laws describes a scenario where he may feel out of place or isolated due to his race.

And you discover your gift for music only overnight
Laws may suddenly realize his talent for music, which sets him apart from those around him.

But only a bunch of bums seem to know you tight
Even though Laws may be talented, he initially only garners recognition and appreciation from a small group of people.

They wanna hold you down, you wanna hold the mic
Some people may try to suppress Laws' talent and potential, but he refuses to let them hold him back.

You keep making moves like the poltergeist
Despite facing obstacles and resistance, Laws continues to make progress and advance his music like a ghostly presence that cannot be stopped.

Jesus Christ, he's just nice, Jesus Christ, he's just nice
Laws compares himself to Jesus, in the sense that he is a savior of hip-hop through his exceptional talent and skill.

Hail Mary
