Hey, yeah Is it black against white or brother versus brother Is it wrong against right or color versus color You can see it in the night or feel it in the morning Is it worth the fight, you better take my warning 'Cause you can't stop what you can't control You can take another life and lose another soul It's a holy man's war It's a fight for survival Trying to live day by day It's a holy man's war And it's rival versus rival You can take it from me With the things that I've seen It's a holy man's war If I see you walking on my side of town Better bring your army, we're gonna take you down Ain't got no reasons for the things that we do When you're born with nothing, you've got nothing to lose 'Cause you can't stop what you can't control You can take another life and lose another soul It's a holy man's war It's a fight for survival Trying to live day by day It's a holy man's war And it's rival versus rival You can take it from me With the things that I've seen It's war You can take another life and lose another soul There was a time when life meant so much to me (Oh-oh-oh-oh) The longer I live the less that I want to see That's not the way it should be If you see me walking on your side of town It's gonna take your army just to bring me down 'Cause I've got no reasons for all the things I do Oh, I was born with nothing and I've got nothing to lose It's a holy man's war It's a fight for survival Trying to live day by day It's a holy man's war And it's rival versus rival You can take it from me With the things that I've seen It's a holy man's war It's a fight for survival Trying to live day by day It's a holy man's war And it's rival versus rival You can take it from me With the things that I've seen It's war, a holy man's war, ooh... You can take it from me With the things that I've seen Now is it black against white Or wrong against right You can live for the fight or die
