War Lyrics by Outkast

War Lyrics

    Now get the fuck up off me nigga..

    [Big Boi]
    As I, struggle to keep my balance and composure
    I'm 'posed ta, propose a toast to players on every coast-a
    The lyrical roller coaster, mind-bender
    'Stead of watchin these sucker MC's
    I'm seein just how they lyin to the general population
    Don't be patient, get up and stand up for your life
    Don't you agree or understand we lost some rights at 1-1-9?
    Come dumb, come young, come blind unwind confined
    to the situation, we facin, cause in time, tick tick boom

    [singers]
    Tick, boom.. tick, tick-boom
    Tick, boom.. tick, tick-boom
    Tick, boom.. tick, tick-boom
    Tick, boom.. tick, tick-boom

    [explosion forward and reversed]
    [scratched: "You're gonna die here" - 2X]

    [Big Boi]
    When will we all, awake up out this dream
    Come here and smell the Folgers, the soldiers are human beings
    Man actin as if he was the supreme bein
    Clockin the souls of men out like he was G-O-D and
    W-A-Rrah, there'll be no tomorrow but sorrow
    and horror will follow the hollow hearts battle for dollars
    Politicians, modern day magicians
    Physicians of death, more health care for poor health
    Who makin us ill, they makin us kill
    That's makin me spill my guts (chill Big, lay in the cut)
    For what? I refuse to sit in the backseat and get handled
    Like I do nuttin all day but sit around watch the Cartoon Channel
    I rap about, the Presidential election and the scandal
    that followed, and we all watched the nation, as it swallowed
    and chalked it up, basically America you got FUCKED
    The media shucked and jived now we stuck - damn!

    [singing - "can't be heard clearly"]
    [scratched: "You're gonna die here" - 2X]

    [Big Boi]
    Operation Anaconda - ask yourself
    was it full of bleeps and blunders, did they ever find Osama?
    And why in the fuck did Daniel Pearl have to pay the price
    for his life and his wife plead twice?
    See Al-Amin got life and Fred got dead, Hampton
    To dampen the dream of all the Panthers
    They got they answer for ransom
    As we read together, as we dream together
    Count your blessings whenever you feel that things won't be no better
    But it got to, you gave me this microphone so I must rock you
    Your brainwaves, airwaves, energized and SHOCKED you
    Y'all got me, well I got y'all, long as I know y'all listenin
    I'ma always bring food for thought to the table in the kitchen
    Now eat nigga!
