Everywhere is war
[Verse One]
We closer to the King's Dream, we livin' in days
When blacks and whites will unite to make fun of the beige
The haze, man we don't appreciate what we got
It's like a child, he gets a gift and he plays with the box
Now there's rocks, body parts flyin',bombs, you scared?
Blown off arms in the air like they just don't care
It's everywhere that there's air for people to breathe
Cause we don't know how to share and don't know when to leave
It's war, as seen on TV, depicted in film
It's cause, you don't like his face and you want to k** him
It's war, business decision, money and profit
That's why countries are riffin' and there's rappers and gossip
[Hook]
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but us can free our mind
Can't they see the times we're livin' in?
It seems we're livin' in a desperate time
Everywhere it's war
(In they hearts in they minds)
"Fightin' each other"
Everywhere it's war
"Fightin' each other"
[Verse Two]
Since we all gon' go, we just don't know how so
But you might go fast if you too gung ho
So my j**els unload on your crews young/old
As new news unfolds becomes news once told
The war of the have/have-nots, it's always alive
No one ever wins, people either die or switch sides
You realize, we all people here to suffer the same flaws
Cut from the same cloth, but we all wasn't made shorts
Some of us made sweaters, some of us remain calm
Some of us know better but we still do the same wrongs
Roots? Money and s**, jealous, pride
And boots, watch where you step, let's take this outside
[Hook]
[Verse Three]
Since a lot of y'all rappers used to dance in Lee's
The City of Rap is watered down and I'm a damn/dam MC
Your flow leads with me in it like the sand in seas
You're bored and I score if you show your hands or teeth
Put my initials in a record, little ridges of sound
I'm cool like the early British when I visit your town
And take it down, civilize you
Rise till you all meet
Primitive thinkin' that my match is a sorcery
Just learn from me, take a course from me, forcefully
The track's knockin' and I buzz, get the door for me
Can't buy talent cause this rap sh**'s hard
I'm Rise, for everything else there's Mastercard
But it's too bad, whoever you are, people will hate you
The news mad I'm talkin' 'bout violence like they do
And it, constantly rains and that boggles the brain
But until the philosophy's change
"And they fightin' each other"
[Hook]
