Now you're back against the wall

Focus on the good things (Anytime)

And if you need a place to run to (Well)

What is a place you could come to?

Come in here, don't stay there

Drop your bag, relax your neck

When times were tough, you've taken care

I just react, enjoy giving back

You gave me nuff things to share

Take what you like, have roots

Water and wine, soul food feeds the mood

We're of the same tribe (Oh, ya)

Realize the good things (Anytime)

Now you're back against the wall (Whoyo)

Focus on the good things (Anytime)

Make the devil fall

You protect me, I protect you (And we [?] protect, oh)

And if you need a place to run to

What is a place you could come to?

You show respect and I respect you (Respect will make you strong)

You protect me, I protect you (And if you feel that soppm wrong)

And if you need a place to run to (I'll be your shield and your shelter)

What is a place you could come to? (
