War (Explicit Album Version)歌词

[00:05.79]There's a war in the streets tonight
[00:10.35]And nobody's really feelin' alright
[00:14.79]I got a blunt for my chronic, a juice for my tonic
[00:20.98]I know now that I'm feelin' right if it goes down
[00:28.66]'Cause my third eye sees the lowdown
[00:33.48]And I know it's not my time to go now
[00:38.66]'Cause God's got my back in this showdown
[00:43.48]So I know we'll be alright
[00:47.04]Yeah, Brooks Brothers overcoat, know the ropes
[00:49.10]Smooth is holdin' those briefcases, silk ties
[00:50.79]Slick as them older folks, silver fo'-fo', got no
[00:53.36]My chauffer driver just left, some of my colleagues smokin' that Cali
[00:56.67]Caught a glimpse of myself in the Barney's shop window
[00:59.54]Kinda' see my father's features creepin' in a little
[01:02.23]Got an office on Broadway, business in Jamaica
[01:04.73]Tell my daughter try the hardest so the best schools'll take her
[01:07.48]And I'm late to a date with my wife, I realize
[01:09.86]I stopped to shop, had to get her some type surprise
[01:12.36]And I'm walkin' through it, chaos is all around me
[01:14.92]But God got me, no fear, through the fire pride stop
[01:18.23]There's a war in the streets tonight
[01:21.86]And all this drama's got me feelin' uptight
[01:26.61]I don't know what I'll do if I don't see my boo
[01:33.35]'Cause she's standin' on the corner of Linden Boulevard
[01:40.79]Holding our baby in her arms
[01:45.73]So hold on, your daddy's in sight
[01:49.42]Yeah, nine four, Destiny opens her eyes
[01:51.17]For the first time, praise God, baby mom's cryin'
[01:53.48]Planned to be a strong black family
[01:55.04]But we both were too young
[01:56.36]Too strung, too much flashin'
[01:58.11]New come, I caught verbal assassin runnin'
[02:00.30]With nothin' but the worst type, worst fight
[02:02.42]When we brought my baby home the first night
[02:04.55]Cursed like sailors, burst out the crib
[02:06.55]Ragin' in my new car bought from entertainment
[02:09.17]Champaign and gainin' clout fast, whiplash
[02:11.23]Did this ***** just pass in the club pugged up, stupid ass
[02:14.05]Grabbed her by the pony tail, never disrespect me
[02:17.23]I'm a street vet, regret the ***, but not Desi
[02:19.61]Moved back to your grandma
[02:21.11]I'm single, the land's mine
[02:22.61]She keeps the Benz, I'm all in the streets again
[02:24.92]Squeezin' the pen, released again, chart toppers
[02:27.61]Hard-bottoms blessed the feet
[02:28.67]Now less baby mom's problems
[02:30.11]New woman, she's great, this a different world
[02:32.61]Checkin' out my wife's chemistry with my little girl
[02:35.61]It's so amazin' playin', life is so crazy
[02:38.48]I've grown up the thankful for lessons God gave me
[02:41.05]There's a war in the streets tonight
[02:44.30]And nobody's really feelin' alright
[02:49.74]I got a blunt for my chronic, a juice for my tonic
[02:57.11]I know now that I'm feelin' right if it goes down
[03:03.24]'Cause my third eye sees the lowdown
[03:08.61]And I know it's not my time to go now
[03:13.86]'Cause God's got my back in this showdown
[03:18.80]So I know we'll be alright
[04:08.16]From the day Incomprehensible born
[04:10.35]Your daughter Destiny
[04:12.54]Was one of your destinations
