POW! - Straight Outta Dresden lyrics

[Intro: Dr. Dre] You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge Verse 1 (Ice Seem): Straight outta Dresden, crazy young boy named Billy I been through the war so my mind is real silly From the US, but in Germany I pray my own country don't come and murder me Kurt Vonnegut wrote a book about me But schools banned it cuz y'all some patsies Out of my mind, thats how I'm goin out For all you school boards trynna throw it out They told you bout the war but the ain't tell you bout this The meaning of the book is quite easy to miss Tryna go off on the s** and violence Sorry, about a war I can't keep the silence I gave up the war Just tried to forget and live some more Here's a murder rap just to keep you detached With this ma**acre, don't wanna stay attached Bombs are the tools While Billy and the soldiers sit around like fools Billy and his friends go toe to toe but Billy Don't care if he racks up the foes He accepts whatever comes daily All the horrors of war, just can't see clearly That the bombing by the USA Was shielded from the public everyday When Billy's in you better expect crazy ‘Cause Billy's unstuck in time, mind's all hazy As he leaves, believe he's time travelin' But when he's back in reality, he's straight outta Dresden Bridge: (J. Yao) Yo Chey! (ATG) Wa**up? (J. Yao) Tell em where you're from! Verse 2 (Alex the Great): Straight outta Dresden, these crazy young soldiers More Germans they smoke, their hearts get colder Billy's crazy you oughta know this Standing still in the face of his foes But he don't care, time travelin' everyday To an alien planet far away Place with green creatures called Tralfamadore Held in a zoo to be trapped even more Vonnegut uses many themes Like there's no free will, and the war ain't what it seems War ain't never good versus bad Cuz the USA bombing dresden is actually bad Religion of Christ, stays gettin roasted But in war God's work is hard to notice Many of the parents hate his writing Cuz he writes way too much bout fighting The book is seen as very unpatriotic But bombing innocent cities is just psychotic Vonnegut shows America ain't the greatest So u school boards gon have to just accept it Controversial themes are mentioned a lot It seems too much but it's what the wars got Cuz WW2 an ugly sight Religion was lost and soldiers futures weren't bright No one benefits from war So if u think this book ain't fire get out the door! Schools might think this book is crap But a book with these themes is heat like this rap Straight outta Dresden
