Oversyte - My Battle lyrics

(Intro - George H. W. Bush) We have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves and for future generations a new world order, a world where the rule of law, not the rule of the jungle, governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.'s founders Right... Yo! (verse 1) I didn't know the world 'til I was seven years old The only thing I had known Were the bible stories that were told to me But even they were in the censored version Of course I absorbed them I can only buy what's being sold to me But then I noticed the blood on the street The shattered gla** scattered on the concrete My heartbeat racing Cuz police keep they're sirens wailing When they cruise through my street And wake me from my sleep As I lay under my sheet I see my breath, take it deep My life is all I have to give and still keep In the ghetto you never know if you'll see tomorrow And so I developed a ride or die mentality Statistics say Im prone to violence Mainly because I had no real guidance But if you attack my freedom and target what I believe in If I plan to survive Im going to fight this (verse 2) So here I go into battle, low on ammo I know it's more than I can handle But I'm bold like Rambo Because the road I travel is difficult and narrow Ima get my point across before I lay below your shadow Ive been distracted by my worries and interests Obsession, addictions and too focused on this game of chess To notice the presence of my Lord and His blessings Im takin gifts He gave to me to give to you His very best A U.S. emcee, my mind's the M16 Behold the deadliest weapon when I enter the scene I refuse to die without permission While I'm on my mission Fighting temptations like Cuba Gooding Jr Relentless like the way they attack us You might think you know my patterns but Im breaking bad habits I know I can't predict the future Or control what happens But you're not allowed to be responsible for my actions The beat was found on YouTube Hip Hop Instrumental 2013 By Hood To Handle Thanks for listening
