War

Badge and glock 40 might do you dirty get shot up today they wanna war
My daughter see cops and say daddy I'm not feeling safe
She knows it's war
Put you behind bars then you best believe they got more then some shots for you they wanna war
What you mean man this shit biological and psychological this shit is war
2 years and flint is still bathing and deer park cause there shit pollluted
That shit is war
All of this money and all this technology still no solution cause
they wanna war
They have no regard to your women and children and babies man They wanna war
The proofs in the pudding gon take a taste a then call me crazy shit

Margaret La Verne Mitchell, Latanya Haggerty, Sean Bell Amadou Dialo
Kendra James, Ronald Madison, James Clark, Manuel loggins and Laquan McDonald
Shereese Francis, Remarley Graham, Freddie Gray, Tamar Rice, Rekia Boyd, Eric Gardener
Medgar Evans, Fred Hampton, Harry and Hariot Moore, Malcolm X and then Martin man this shit been war

We got us a problem no use calling Houston they wanna war
You can keep talking I guarantee they gon keep shooting Cause this shit is war
Why you tryna forgive em praying and praying for natural born sinners man they wanna war
How you worried bout putting your kids all in Maison Margeilas
If they wanna war
They done switched up the slavery they'll never led up on oppression cause they wanna war
They could care less about race ever since the depression
This shit is war
Just when it comes to the black one that's when they get way more aggressive Cause they wanna war
The hate lies all in the foundation your just not really getting the message cause this shit is war

Tell me you ever seen different
How come the brightest and brilliant and usually resilient is usually the ones you be killing
I got a feeling there's no sense of healing
For wounds you inflicted and pain that was giving
A lil bit of money for fam and the children
Yet you can't treat them like equal civilians cause shit is war

All you hear is shots getting fired, lights and sirens
All of fathers in jail in the children dying
Mama said I been praying so long son I'm so tired
Hate to say will see better days knowing I'd be lying
All you hear is shots getting fired, lights and sirens
All of fathers in jail in the children dying
Mama said I been praying so long son I'm so tired
Hate to say will see better days knowing I'd be lying
