(Verse 1: Da Real Crisis)
Watching my life
The dead know I paid tolls
Keeping my priorities intact are the main goals
I remember lookin back at my high school days
And trying to change
Nothing about me had high school ways
It wasn't for the simple fact I ain't have much
Forget money we robbed for the adrenaline rush
I saw funerals filled up for years and years
So know tears could express what we witnessed when we was kids
When Spofford was Spofford and Rikers was Rikers,
Every block had they own potential ultimate fighters.
Every neighbor was good money and a good ultimatum
Holdin each others work so the narks couldn't raid em
I'm from where if you speak it you gotta walk the walk
Cause hiding's really impossible the streets do talk
Through all the ruthless times every dog has its own day
So if you real you'll develop and come out your own way
Since we're born in a war gotta learn to keep it tall
Why?
Because greed will imprison us all
Everyday is a battle is what you gotta a**ume
Because there's people that got the whole wide world and still need room
(Chorus : Da Real Crisis)
Let's talk about it
War is war
You're not supposed to go easy on em
War is war
Even the family dog gets it
War is war
It's like the rich against the poor baby
War is war
From day one that you were born here
War is war
I'd go to hell to make sure you went
War is war
This retribution eye for an eye
War is war
When karma comes around that's the game
War is war
(Verse 2: Da Real Crisis)
I used to worry if a judge gonna throw the case
My memory's bad but the nightmares won't erase
I developed an Ether for any nonbeliever
Sought of like a heater
Making your face bubble as fast as microwave pizza
I go as insane as the thought of microchips in brains
And you are as stupid as that movie called snakes on a plane.
Heavy metal
Heavy mental
Heavy kleets
Heavy piece
Take you off the earth you'd think I wrote verses for k**a Priest.
Fiends used to walk around the block like they all possessed
The only spell that they was caught under was d** and stress
You could get sacrificed for not thinking twice
Or moving right through a kite in broad daylight
And that's rock-a-bye baby
Like a small grimy hood in Haiti ready to bare
Arms you only seen in Modern Warfare
I try to reach the public but they minds be slow
It's like people don't want to break outta the zombie mode
You know
(Chorus : Da Real Crisis)
Let's talk about it
War is war
You're not supposed to go easy on em
War is war
Even the family dog gets it
War is war
It's like the rich against the poor baby
War is war
From day one that you were born here
War is war
I'd go to hell to make sure you went
War is war
This retribution eye for an eye
War is war
When karma comes around that's the game
War is war
