[English]

(Metro) just to save you

Ooh-ooh-ooh (yo)

I'd give my all

Hey

(Ooh) just to save you, I'd give all of me (all of me) (yeah)

I can hear you screamin' out, callin' me (callin' me)

It's my fault, made you fall for me (fall)

So, to save you, I'd give my all (my all)

Just to save you, I'd give all of me (all of me)

I can hear you screamin' out, callin' me (callin' me)

It's my fault, made you fall for me (fall for me)

So, to save you, I'd give my all (my all)

You fell for me, I count on you when times are tough

Instead of holding you down, I should lift you up

It hurts me when you start to see my flaws (my flaws)

But just to save you, I'd risk it all (all)

Short on time for you, I'd never have enough (have enough)

When I ran into ya, I didn't plan on fallin' in love

Always there to wipe your tears, I hate to see you cry

If you tell me to jump, I'll ask you, "How high?"

I know sometimes it be hard for me to tell the truth (tell the truth)

But I go through any obstacle to get to you (to you)

I'm not materialistic, but I got a thing for you

Treat the world like my guitar, I'm pulling strings for you

(Ooh) just to save you, I'd give all of me (all of me) (yeah)

I can hear you screamin' out, callin' me (callin' me)

It's my fault, made you fall for me (fall)

So, to save you, I'd give my all (my all)

Just to save you, I'd give all of me (all of me)

I can hear you screamin' out, callin' me (callin' me)

It's my fault, made you fall for me (fall for me)

So, to save you, I'd give my all (my all)

Let me be your hero

You held me down, I was stuck at the bottom

Get out of here, I get you lit, oh

I know you can't stand me

I am the one that bust down your rose gold

Had your diamonds dancin'

I picked you up in that Bentley Mulsanne

When 'em sirens was glarin'

I gave you this number, it's nobody else that got it

You can call me

The way I let you come into my life and take my heart away

It's like a robbery

Every time you look up on the charts, now you're seein' me

I hope you're proud of me

I got you bussed down, Patek Philippes

Ain't no way you goin' back to Cartis

And I splurge on her, she like, "Saint Laurent me"

See me out in a public, hardly

Low-key with my mask, I'm solo

If I don't speak to nobody, I'm sorry

And I'll save you if you can't save yourself

Hold on, let me catch my breath

Need a hero? I'm the last one left

(Ooh) just to save you, I'd give all of me (all of me) (yeah)

I can hear you screamin' out, callin' me (callin' me)

It's my fault, made you fall for me (fall)

So, to save you, I'd give my all (my all)

Just to save you, I'd give all of me (all of me)

I can hear you screamin' out, callin' me (callin' me)

It's my fault, made you fall for me (fall for me)

So, to save you, I'd give my all (my all)

...

For all the people

My all

For all the people

My all

If Young Metro don't trust you-, trust you-

...

Metro

...

(Mini man, come on, drop the beat)
