Illy - Gimme Shelter lyrics

I ask that you pour your heart out
Drown the threat
We march, not one out of step
Think this shit's bad? See how loud it get
If that lit fuse get to the powder keg
We got crowds in the net
Crowds in the streets
Weak exploited by the powers that be
It's no new thing, just new found reach
World wide web, worldwide greed
Dreams get broken
Fenced in routine, repeat the process
You paint ‘em in a corner provoke ‘em
For generations poked sticks hope
That cage don't open
When the gap is padlocked from
Have's to have nots
Chat stops, time to act, cause
This calm ain’t peace, throw
The balance right off, man
All it takes is one shot, shoot



War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away it's just a shot away
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away
It's just a shot away, hey yeah
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away it's just a shot away
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away
It's just a shot away, hey yeah

Before the new album come
Half another one of Friday flips in 4 months
Don’t get cute thinking you
Work harder than us
You don't, you only shine when we done
I can’t stay in the middle
Of the road all day
So I pin my colours to the flag I raise
Melbourne made, Hip-Hop boy
Bad bitches love and wack guys hate
What I do, to put it in your brain
I give a fuck about what you say
Mate might wanna make your next few waters
Cause, I ain’t cared since ‘08, for real
Don’t be fooled
Cause I smashed a tax bracket
My whole career is back to back classics
And yours isn't
So if your thinking bout swinging
Best pack a flak jacket biatch

War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away it's just a shot away
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away
It's just a shot away, hey yeah
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away it's just a shot away
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away
It's just a shot away, hey yeah

Braveheart to the end, guess I’m my dads son
Shit I could do this with collapsed lungs
Roll like a tank does
Mind like a lawyer, rhyme like a mad cunt
Braveheart to the end, guess I’m my dads son
Shit I could do this with collapsed lungs
Roll like a tank does
Mind like a lawyer, rhyme like a mad cunt
And them tunes might help
But, you want it done right you
Gotta do it for yourself
When our backs to the wall
We react with force it is what it is
No love lost when all roads lead to war

War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away it's just a shot away
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away
It's just a shot away, hey yeah
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away it's just a shot away
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away
It's just a shot away, hey yeah
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away it's just a shot away
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away
It's just a shot away, hey yeah
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away it's just a shot away
War, children, yeah
(you know what they say) it's
Just a shot away
It's just a shot away, hey yeah
