War

Lyrics

War is a global economic phenomenon
 Ain't a batch of guns on where, hellfire
 Spittin', run up everything they hittin'
 Some do they job to dodge the barrage
 As sleek projectiles never stay bound
 Fire bite invades the night with light
 Loud, fighter planes shout shell rain
 When they shot to kill cops on the terrain
 And leave any brain that may remain stained
 You god damn right this war goin' too far
 Socialists think they converse with the stars
 Wars found, my find the beauty in the stars
 I level with death even beneath radar
 I level with death even beneath radar
 I level with death and she got pretty eyes
 Nobody told me death was so damn fine
 I go to sleep with that girl on my mind
 Wake up in a sea, I wanna fire in line
 Grab my heat, then it's get down time
 One day I'ma make that girl all mine
 But for now I'm a soldier abidin' my time
 Writin' my rhyme behind enemy lines
 Palestine, Kosovo, Cashmere
 No different than the avenues right here
 An increase in the murder rate each year
 Paramilitary unit keep the streets clear
 Curtains up on the theatre of warfare
 Dramatic politics nightly preformed here
 Worldwide from Colombia to Columbine
 Don holders keep ya dollar signs on the line
 "I don't want to rule or conquer anyone
 I should like to help everyone if possible
 Jew, gentile, black man, white
 We all want to help one another
 Human beings are like that
 We want to live by each other's happiness
 Not by each other's misery
 In this world, there's room for everyone
 And the good earth is rich
 And can provide for everyone a way of life"
 Fuck that
 You know the drill
 Fix ya face
 I'ma hustle off the hill
 Go get my money man
 Go get my money man
 See every hunter need to kill
 Go get my money man
 I'm old school from off the hill
 Go get my money man
 Go get my money man
 I give a fuck what I do
 Go get my money man
 Go get my money man
 Go get that money man
 Go get my money man
 Go get that money man
 Gimme my money man
 Gimme my money
 Fuck you, pay me
 Fuck you, pay me
 Fuck you, pay me
 Fuck you, pay me
 Fuck you, pay me
 Fuck you, pay me
 Fuck you, pay me
 Fuck you, pay me
 Gimme the loot, Gimme the loot, Gimme the loot
