OutKast - War lyrics
[OutKast - War lyrics]
Now get the fuck up off me nigga
As I
Struggle to keep my balance and composure
I'm 'posed ta
Propose a toast to players on every coast-a
The lyrical roller coaster, mind-bender
'Stead of watchin these sucker MC's
I'm seein just how they lyin
To the general population don't be patient
Get up and stand up for your life
Don't you agree or understand we
Lost some rights at 1-1-9?
Come dumb, come young
Come blind unwind confined
To the situation, we facin, cause in time
Tick tick boom tick, boom tick, tick boom
Tick, boom tick, tick boom
Tick, boom tick, tick boom
Tick, boom tick, tick boom
Forward and reversed "You're gonna die here"
When will we all, awake up out this dream
Come here and smell the Folgers
The soldiers are human beings
Man actin as if he was the supreme bein
Clockin the souls of men out
Like he was G-O-D and
W-A-Rrah, there'll be no tomorrow but sorrow
And horror will follow the hollow
Hearts battle for dollars
Politicians, modern day magicians
Physicians of death
More health care for poor health
Who makin us ill, they makin us kill
That's makin me spill my guts
(chill Big, lay in the cut)
For what? I refuse to sit in
The backseat and get handled
Like I do nuttin all day but
Sit around watch the Cartoon Channel
I rap about
The Presidential election and the scandal
That followed, and we all watched the nation
As it swallowed and chalked it up
Basically America you got FUCKED
The media shucked and jived now
We stuck - damn!
Can't be heard clearly
"You're gonna die here"
Operation Anaconda - ask yourself
Was it full of bleeps and blunders
Did they ever find Osama?
And why in the fuck did Daniel
Pearl have to pay the price
For his life and his wife plead twice?
See Al-Amin got life and Fred got dead
Hampton
To dampen the dream of all the Panthers
They got they answer for ransom
As we read together, as we dream together
Count your blessings whenever you feel that
Things won't be no better but it got to
You gave me this microphone so
I must rock you your brainwaves, airwaves
Energized and SHOCKED you
Y'all got me, well I got y'all
Long as I know y'all listenin
I'mma always bring food for thought to
The table in the kitchen now eat nigga!
As I
Struggle to keep my balance and composure
I'm 'posed ta
Propose a toast to players on every coast-a
The lyrical roller coaster, mind-bender
'Stead of watchin these sucker MC's
