Mos Def - War Lyrics
War is a global economic phenomenonAin't a batch of guns on where, hellfireSpittin', run up everything they hittin'Some do they job to dodge the barrageAs sleek projectiles never stay boundFire bite invades the night with lightLoud, fighter planes shout shell rainWhen they shot to kill cops on the terrainAnd leave any brain that may remain stainedYou god damn right this war goin' too farSocialists think they converse with the starsWars found, my find the beauty in the starsI level with death even beneath radarI level with death even beneath radarI level with death and she got pretty eyesNobody told me death was so damn fineI go to sleep with that girl on my mindWake up in a sea, I wanna fire in lineGrab my heat, then it's get down timeOne day I'ma make that girl all mineBut for now I'm a soldier abidin' my timeWritin' my rhyme behind enemy linesPalestine, Kosovo, CashmereNo different than the avenues right hereAn increase in the murder rate each yearParamilitary unit keep the streets clearCurtains up on the theatre of warfareDramatic politics nightly preformed hereWorldwide from Colombia to ColumbineDon holders keep ya dollar signs on the line"I don't want to rule or conquer anyoneI should like to help everyone if possibleJew, gentile, black man, whiteWe all want to help one anotherHuman beings are like thatWe want to live by each other's happinessNot by each other's miseryIn this world, there's room for everyoneAnd the good earth is richAnd can provide for everyone a way of life"***** thatYou know the drillFix ya faceI'ma hustle off the hillGo get my money manGo get my money manSee every hunter need to killGo get my money manI'm old school from off the hillGo get my money manGo get my money manI give a ***** what I doGo get my money manGo get my money manGo get that money manGo get my money manGo get that money manGimme my money manGimme my money***** you, pay me***** you, pay me***** you, pay me***** you, pay me***** you, pay me***** you, pay me***** you, pay me***** you, pay meGimme the loot, Gimme the loot, Gimme the loot
