It's a war in the back of your forum The horns attackin' mo', torn the radicals Never happen to mourn the scorned And born wit' a lack of dough Just like them, when I think about it all it's quite dim Everything is really raw like a fright film If you ready for the brawl come and try grim At a level where the people wanna load up what they got and get it poppin' If he thinking 'bout the hood he better never come a knockin' They don't ever wanna take it to the B Or the C Zone We home, nigga, we get the heat on All the energy is separation Togetherness never was the motivation Evil has really been sweeping the nation Because it was never no communication In a war, the believers of Jesus wanna make you bleed, it's egregious Should've had their fetus deleted, but the parents skeet is completed So, now we stuck wit' the crazy Pushin' a lotta negative up in the babies What the fuck they doin' snuffin' the ladies? Killin' globally, it's buckin' in Haiti This is war, what are the fake well wishes for?
