MynameisjOhn - Love in a Time of War lyrics

[Verse 1] - MuRli Is it bad that I contemplate an exit to focus on myself instead of serving the ma**es? Is it sad that I ask to be respected when I'm busy at work yet few ever get the message? Is it fair to deprecate my music, undervalue my statements for instruments I ain't using? Is it here that you're expected to lose it, spazz on social media looking ever so stupid? Since the records don't sell no more It's like the industry's only got air in store Coz that's all I get when I got to these shows And the bands try so hard to redefine boredom Hip hop, I'm giving you nothing but tough love How gon' grow your audience on popcorn MCs, please move the crowd Regardless of being above or underground [God Knows] Because the bloggers got a gun, I got my hands in the air yelling please don't shoot us Zimbabwean lion in this jungle and there's poachers everywhere I'm roaring please don't don't hunt us Making records nowadays is like pulling teeth Don't be that dentist Let me be honest, it's not about blunt it's not about spliff The only thing smoking inside no e-cigarettes I don't wanna brag same reason why Tyler, The Creator and Keeth is a chief The braggadocio is self ownership Me and vanity don't have a relationship And as pop culture moves on to censorship And as the guilt trip luggage turns into baggage With money in the industry harder to salvage I wonder will you download my e-press package With another tab open searching for courses, no 5 Mics no Sources We're just underground hype, horses for courses I'm not on a role, I'm on the road! Trying to make dreams into streams, cheers into screams Shows into cream, as easy as it seams Another level another devil I go to church to keep my head level [MuRli] Most careers in the game are now made in China So you triple double check when it's time to sign on With both sides of the same coin striking Only thing left in the middle is a hyphen Majority wouldn't believe it That's how I started embracing all my minorities Squeezing on my belly for a living By now my hunger got a split personality Either way it all plays to my advantage like when the ref say play on even after you foul me Even after the honey moon period You wake up to find me red hot. Period! Breaking so many hearts to be a star better be Sirius Unless you only got two senses you're feeling us Giving our blood, sweat, tears and bone marrow On our March through that gate that's ever so narrow No track-star but I'm in this for the long run Ethiopian records on my dashboard And till I'm all flat, bet I can't stop You can keep waving the flag my brake broke Well We gotta find that balance? There's too many man on stage these days We need some more girls up there parallel that track from BBK [Chorus] Love in the time of war Love in the time of war Love in the time of war Can you mirror heaven when all hell breaks loose? Love in the time of war Love in the time of war Love in the time of war Can you mirror heaven when all hell breaks loose? [Verse 2] - God Knows] I don't have American Idols, not a based God 6 God, not even a fella in the Wu he's not U-God Oh Lord! I'm sorry but Jamar is not The Lord You can drill it to me 16 billion times You can be slim but you still not Jesus I've been doing this since early nah I'm serious I've been doing this sincerely I don't have to be my bro to tell you that I'm early Always thought the older I got The more that I knew but I quickly learned even at 20 I was still 5 times 4 I am a Don of 4/4, four to the floor before I fall to the floor Create a legacy, love all mankind, free my people before I fall to the floor Raw to core, do it for the Father not for show Wanna spit a couple raps get a couple braps Share a few laughs and I'm chuffed That's just me, no matter how many times you invite me, I don't want to play candy crush Now back to the bars, do it for the love not the buzz But let's just keep it real still gotta get paid cuz I've been conflicted bro, I just wanted people to like me more Word to Yeezy, been doing this since folks said for shizzle my nizzle I've been on the grizzle since little And I've been more fire since Lethal the bizzle and H to the Izzo I've got mixed emotions but they weren't mixed my Ali, MynameisjOhn actually!
