June Marx - The War Is On lyrics

[Verse 1] Gun barrels and shells in the arsenal of the terror cells I read it in the local news articles published where I dwell Decorated with battle scars on me and I wear them well The modern rap game is a carnival with a carousel Chemical war targets acquired parallel Sickness from the poisonous particles in the air you smell Adjust the threat levels homeland security As politics and propaganda program us thoroughly Dissenting public voices often found their wrists in cuffs You don't get the message? You might hear the sound of pistols bust Twist and puff a spliff of dust or get that crystal rush Or freebase/ You challenge the police state? No fisticuffs In the presence of the law be on your best behavior You could face the persecution of your town's elected mayor It's hard to organize when you don't trust your next-door neighbor Resurrected savior/ Revelation 12, the pregnant labor [Chorus] We sacrifice/ Still chasing after paradise So many of us pay the price But now the war is on/ The war is on...the war is on [Verse 2] Seconds on the timer/ You're still in the bomb's radius These weapons are designed so the k**ing is spontaneous They cla**ify as villains upon playing this The intellect is shining and brilliant beyond radiance Compare the scene to the coverage of the Arab Spring Molotov co*ktail/ Soaking the wick in kerosene American dreams broken/ Abusive parenting Wearing green digital camo so we are barely seen Some will say it's a crime and they came to grab the loot Law enforcement agency snipers took aim and they had to shoot Follow the leader/ The piper will play the magic flute And persecute the ones that are righteously named with attributes The smallest differences hold the entire nation back And ain't nobody thinking of closing the generation gap So it's still young vs. old and divided native blacks And immigrants/ The Willie Lynch code in the population cracked [Chorus] We sacrifice/ Still chasing after paradise So many of us pay the price But now the war is on/ The war is on...the war is on [Verse 3] Cuban-owned weaponry/ Missile crisis, computer drones Cla**ified material/ Scientists growing human clones Bankrupt businesses, debt collectors for student loans Economic hustle, chaotic struggle, and truth unknown Shootings at centers of learning/ Children are schooled at home Use your phone app to surf the internet on Google Chrome Serial k**ers and pyramid builders moving stone Vatican catacomb ceremonies at tombs in Rome (c)2015 Divine Dystopia (ASCAP).
