WAR Lyrics

All my folks gotta be free, from river to the sea

How can I turn a blind eye? When I see them, I see me

They misdirecting the blame, turning the finger on we

They igniting the flames, turn 'round and claim they want peace

Claim they the owners of the land when they really a thief

Some niggas weak up in the mind, can't decide they beliefs

Some niggas weak up in the spine, so we just won't agree

And I ain't never bowing down, I ain't no ho, I'm a chief

My daddy said riding the fence get you a post up the ass

That's why I'm solid in defense, that's why I tote on they ass

Since a jit I been legit, they used to say I was crass

Couldn't handle me at the school, 'cause I stayed on they ass

They parole us, can't control us

This shit bogus, so they owe us

Free the soldiers 'cause they sacrificed, carried us on they shoulders

Together we cannot fail; don't give up, give them hell

I say burn down all the jails, I say free Baba Jamil

Free Mumia, Baba Ed

Rest in peace Ruchell; said we got the right to rebel

Free Kamau Sadiki; naw, he ain't break or bend, he ain't never tell

Screaming "Free Veronza Bowers!" 'til he get up and walk up out the cell

That's for real, yuh

I am too focused to tweet, I been rolling 'bout a week

I been getting sleep, mastering technique

Dropping heat, ride the beat, and I beat that junt to sleep

On they heads, this one here my latest feat

Know the feds watching but we never scared, we still fighting the streets

Praying "God forgive my sins", got my FN

I ain't violent, I defend, but my patience thin

See red like a beet

If I said it, then I'm standing on it, I never rescind

I might say that shit again, but I try not to repeat

Ten toes down, solid on my feet

Swear these niggas sheep, I can hear them bleat

I can't dap you if your constitution weak, and it's looking bleak

Yuh

Life it come at you fast, naw I ain't nice, I'm a "BITCH"

And I ain't holding my tongue, I make it lash like a switch

And I won't never give in, long as I stand I resist

And long as I got my hand, I'm gon' be pumping my fist

Shaking my dreads and my twists, I got the Grind and the Grit

I resist; when I feel pain I scream it loud, can't bow down

'Cause if you quiet, they gon' kill you, say you liked it

Throw you down in the pit, then forget, I ain't wit' that shit

I got warrior lineage, I don't descend from pigs

Ain't from the block, but learned to pop it from my pops, do ya dig?

I swear this shit up in my blood, I protect and defend

Even my grandma be on go, she be toting a Sig

She will make it go "bang!", light 'em up like a cig

You a lil' bitty thing, I'm a boss, yeah I'm big

They impressed with my game, they think I got it rigged

Southern drawl on my slang, take a puff and a swig

I just be who I is, I can't be nothing else

Keep my word, don't renege, I wasn't taught nothing else

Got the juice like a fig, I'm finna snap like a twig

I'm too cold, I'm too sick, Champion with the belt
