[Nas, Lil Durk - Til the War Is Won lyrics]
You know I love you different
My queen, my mother, sister
Protect you with my life
let's deconstruct the myth uh
You just depressed a bit
And only good for sexin' with you
Let's dismantle that, it's a man you lack
You don't need us, you could handle that
Let's see where the Black family at
We need each other, with bad tempers
We defeat each other
Single mothers, my heart's bleeding for you
These coward men, that were beating on you
(Never me)
Let's silence them with a silencer
For the violence of relationships
Hold your head up, don't take that shit
Run away from it i shoulda ran away myself
The amount of pain I was dealt
And I'm a man, my job is to help
Single parent home, came up
Now the man is grown mom's gone, pop's here
Wish God reversed the roles
(Sometimes) If I could've chose
Subsidized housin'
Sometimes witnessin' the most foulest
Things would arouse us
We became numb like pure 'caine on the tongue
To the pains from economical strains
Diabolical games put on our future kings
And our future queens
Y'all the strongest ones (yeah)
May God give strength to women
Who lost they sons
I give all I have 'til the war is won
(Ooh woah, oh oh)
We're nothing without our women
I give all I have 'til the war is won (yeah)
(Ooh woah, oh oh) i give all I have
2020 flows, everything getting exposed
(Exposed) who really the bros?
(Bros) Who really is goals? (Goals)
Who ready to let it go?
All the grudges we hold (Uh)
It's too many fallen soldiers NY to the 'Go
(Chi Town)
Late night outside, you hear the forty drum
(Baow)
In every ghetto and all the slums (For real)
These laws made to slaughter us (Damn)
I give all I have 'til the war is won
I was servin' out my mama crib
She ain't know about it
(She ain't know about it)
Complaining about my rent
But I know my mama got me (My mama got me)
She told me to be a man
And never sleep through problems
(Sleep through problems)
University of the streets
I ain't plan on going to college (Oh yeah)
Why you crying 'bout low income and welfare?
(O oh)
You ain't the only one going through it
This everywhere better hold your head
I know it don't feel fair
Reason my people dead and they
Know I still care depending on the people
Then you gotta do better
Black lives matter, I'm for real
It do matter (For real, it do matter)
Black-on-black crime
They still do it to whoever (Whoever)
Talking to the trenches
We just gotta do better (Do better)
He think he Martin Luther
But he tryna be a shooter
(Tryna be a shooter) got his car took
He ride with guns in the Uber (In the Uber)
I'm talking where we from, we carry MACs
But no computers (No computers)
He got out yesterday
But he went in when he was juvie (Chi Town)
Diabolical games put on our future kings
And our future queens
Y'all the strongest ones (yeah)
May God give strength to women
Who lost they sons
I give all I have 'til the war is won
She do the best to raise our young
Ooh, she independent and she don't
Depend on no one
We nothing without our women
Ooh, she independent
Went from a girl to a woman
One love to the single mothers
Ooh, oh, yeah, yeah
I give all I have 'til the war is won
(Ooh, woah, oh oh)
'Til the war is won, we gotta stick together
Women, stop chasing your man away
Men, stop acting crazy
Chasing your woman away
We all we have 'til the war is won, yeah
My queen, my mother, sister
Protect you with my life
let's deconstruct the myth uh
You just depressed a bit
And only good for sexin' with you
