9th Wonder - War Of The World lyrics

[Sample] "Where do they go? Oh I don't know. Nobody knows." [Verse One] I ain't vote for Bush, but we got him And I ain't pull a gun on King, but we shot him The whole world is rock bottom It gets about as ghetto as Harlem 10:00 news, Showtime at The Apollo Watch then follow my lead, it's harder to breathe Ozone layer falling into the sea From the birds in the sky to the lands and trees What's worse man got it for free I guess it's harder for me to see my folks, beautiful black folks Strung out on dope and getting life on d**h row Some in denial some saying it's not so Some still praying while preaching the gospel And every takeover now is extremely hostile And peace is about as rare as summers in Moscow I guess that's a day in the world It's the way of the world The world's at war [Hook] It's like War of the World and I'm Orson Wells Little kids seem lost themselves They were born in Heaven tossed to Hell of course it's real In third world countries kids starving for meals And it's not like it's part of the deal, this part is for real I'ma hold faith and keep God as my shield I'ma hold faith and keep God as my shield I'ma hold faith [Verse Two] Yeah that Twin Tower sh** must've shook your block If you was west coast it shook your block Took firefighters and cops, young dreams brought to a stop Had a war brought right to our docks The great American melting pot It's New York, you forgot? Ground Zero, home to thousands of heroes And h**nes Both women and men As I watch Channel 10 they still bringing them in Yet we still sending men to war Many died for their country Other's lose a limb come home and go hungry On the street there's eight million stories to weep Eight million reasons I can't sleep [Hook] {x2} [Verse Three] NASCAR lost Earnhardt, number three But we lost three letters, B.I.G And P.A.C They were shot, I was shocked Just like when BDP lost Scott LaRock Speaking of Big, peace out to L and Pun Both lyrically gifted but chosen ones To my man Freaky Tah who made us party From the hoods east coast, west coast and everybody Now a days everybody be packing the heat What's strange is it can happen to me That's why I'm rapping for peace A piece of mind, piece of time in the spotlight Aaliyah had hers but it was lost in a short flight Artist with a short life, worst case scenario Left Eye, Jam Master Jay still in the videos Young and beautiful, I guess that's the way But you never know so be thankful for every day [Hook]
