DJ Premier - We Are At War lyrics

[Intro: Bumpy Knuckles] You know it's always crazy to me to see how, much monetary value You know underground hip hop has lost, in the last ten, to, fifteen years You know, when the fans, you know, wanna get or take your music for free And feel like you know I got it already why should I buy it? You know, that, that's, that's detrimental to the artist number one But more so to the culture, it's, it's detrimental to the culture because... You know when somethin ain't worth nothin, who feels they wanna pay for it You know what I'm sayin? And...it's hurtful Not just to the artist, but to the culture You know, that's, that's a war, we're fightin a war And the war's against ourselves....crazy [DJ Premier Scratching] We-We-W-W-W-We-We-W-W-W-We are at war! We-We-W-W-W-We-We-We-W-W-W-W-We are at war! (Bumpy Knuckles baby!) We-We-We-are-are-are-a-a-a-a-a-are-are-are at war! (HA HA HA HA HA!) We-We-W-W-W-W-W-We-We-W-W-W-W-We are at war! [Verse One: Bumpy Knuckles] I spit the g style verse, in my prime I'm still primin, gangsta, with my rhymes While y'all n***as act twenty one I stand firm as a O.G. plenty guns And more smarts throw darts, I'm built on bumps and bruises Bump loses is what y'all losers news is But I got a different forecast you ba*tards I'm well trained of keepin it blasted Got knowledge from Muhammed Nur, pure for sure And Shorty Dogg pumpin shells, through your door Hands up like the party is rockin we in your pocket Cause with all this free sh** it's time to stop it I used to beat a bootlegger to d**h Now I got to send a legal letter, I think the fans ought to treat me better These rap n***as say, Bump ain't a top five Well f** you your top five and their s*ut wives [DJ Premier Scratching] W-W-We-are-are-are-are-at-at-a-a-a-a-at-at-war!
