Tribe One - Civil War lyrics

[Intro] Meanwhile, somewhere in the Deep South... A young child opens his eyes and sees the world [Verse 1: Adam WarRock] Down in the South I grew up next to the trailer park trash Next to the cats who drove in tricked Cadillacs Next to the pick-up trucks with winches in their tires All back with the mudflaps Next to the hood where if you drive down the wrong streets you get shot at, son How could a cat in all of that survive the impact Of being neither white or black He learned to make the tighter raps In fact they Whistle Dixie in my face and I laughed I learned to look beyond the shadow of Confederate flags Yo, southern 'til I die nerdy gangster and laddish Cause I practice my verbal acrobatics snackin' on catfish And it's still as big a part of me as you'll ever know Cause I'm a southern gentleman, I probably tell better jokes So watch while me and Tribe and Gary S. reppin' it steady With infinite effort sweating in ninety degree temperatures So when my drawl leaks out my rhymes Y'all just gettin' a little bit of that part of me that's inside [Hook] This is the civil war Between cats who blast for scrill or more For the cats who get dap over the illest score Growin' up down in the south play the rap tracks Comics in our backpacks some used to get laughed at Civil war this is our registration act Signin' up for battle in the places we at And we reppin' from the Smokies to Atlanta's underground Dirty South Avengers and we're holdin' the crown [Verse 2: Tribe One] They call it south of the north and north of the south But down in Georgia we're the sort To look the horse in the mouth From how we get down and perform In an a**ortment of styles And crowds come out to support In exorbitant amounts Sound resoundin' from the floor to the clouds 'til it's heard from the couch on the porch Next door to your house now And they could tell I was a stranger down in ATL West coast poster child fell without a safety rail Set aside cause I never quite identified With traffickin', big pimpin' or confederate rebel pride They had me thinkin' in a box I didn't fit inside Until my initial visit into Little Five And now I'm rockin' acapellas for every mood Wishin' on a star bar stage until it's coming true And even though we put our trust in a criminal I will always be more dusty than digital [Adam WarRock] Dirty South Avengers and we're holding the crown [Verse 3: Gary Samurai] Okay, it's Gary from the south side Samurai split your mouth wide Atlanta raised remember the days When I dreaded outside Bit my tongue a lot but now-a-days I let my thoughts fly Hawkeye, I've seen it all so I know what's up Reading on some Shōnen Jump Used to get bullied Now the same fellas see my buzz and try to use the pulley effect I wreck with Adam and now I'll start for ma**ive miles Nerdcore's alive You should peep our ravenous styles [Verse 4: Adam WarRock] Dirty South Avengers and we're holding the crown Anti-registration reality television Right to work states and the places that I'm livin' in You're givin' in because the powers that be Don't seem to care about you and me, true indeed I'm standing in the city where Martin Luther King was murdered And a region where these hooded-men Raised crosses while burning them Where Elvis co-opted black culture while shakin' his hips Where nothing's sweet except iced tea that we sip South of the Mason Dixon is the places we're livin' This ain't cowboys and indians Mississippi we're swimmin' in Until we're drownin' The river goes past People gamble their lives 'til their run out of cash From the blue gra** of Kentucky To the hot springs of AK Slums of Alabama to the streets of the A To the ninth ward of New Orleans lovers and VA From Everglades and Florida's the place that I stay And no, I won't sign on the dotted line 'Cause though I steady rep the South I got a lot on my mind From the mega churches and bill boards talkin' of end times And the pro-lifers with crosses on the highway side Yeah You can try to take the boy out the south But you can't take the south out the southern boy It's as big a part of me as I'll ever talk about And that's why, like base one, I gotta declare war (this is war) On those who never gave south respect (This is war) On all the racism that still exists This is a civil war Not what you're used to before It's an inner battle so we're here to Settle the score [Outro] The following is a list of hip hop aliases I believe should be used by Adam WarRock: World WarRock The Warden New Adam West Rocky Dubs - dubs like w A-Dubs Adam 80's - cause he's a child of the eighties Ahnest Abe - cause his last name is Ahn The Comix Missile - comics spelled c-o-m-i-x Wario S.
