YZ - More Than War lyrics

“More Than War” by YZ from the LP “Muad'Dib” To all the fallen soldier… this one's for you. Yeah Verse 1 To all the old, middle age and those considered the youth I'm here to represent you and get your neck out the noose We lost a lot of good soldiers lately, it hurt when we do Rest in peace to J-Dilla, Pro X and Proof So every time I spit flames I carry a torch for you It's strength in the name, ya'll like our Marvin Gaye, Rick James and Sam Cooke The blow the game took. Keep your eye on the prize Cause tomorrow's only d**h in disguise But be strong cause you can face it remember it's promised to all It's what you do while you're living is what I consider your call Whether you want everyone locked up or freedom for all Your coffee come from Guatemala or you pray the Kabbalah? You drink Star Bucks or Pray five times to Allah? No matter the cla** we better change fast or this place ain't gonna last I hope you see r.e.s.p.e.c.t before you pa** Chorus They got a bomb for me, they got a bomb for you They got a bullet with my name on it, bullet for you They put crack in inner cities just to ruin the youth And alcohol k**ed more than war (Repeat) Verse 2 Hold it now like the Beasties, I hold it down like a beast Say my name in any circle watch your knowledge increase I'm Muad'Dib in the desert when your water deplete Why go and promote hate when all I want is your peace? Still I remain s**er free like Sundays on MTV and Slowed my game way down so ya'll can follow my lead I leave my blood in every city so I've planted my seed Now when it comes to harvest time my army will be divine My soldiers put their life on the line every time They need freedom, justice, equality that's how we breath Most the things we do, we do out of need and I could Tell you War stories you won't want to believe Ya'll like it digital I like it warm and round like a Neve So when the ba** hit, ya'll screaming praise the Lord give him His It's our future so I pray for the kids.They planned your genocide I promise ya'll I want you to live Chorus Verse 3 Now back up I ain't no preacher I just feel what I speak I put my heart into the scripture and keep it far from my sleeve Cause many men operate from a point of lust and greed And if you can't see that devil in their eye you'll bleed They came to gut the weak and they don't give a hell what you think Liquor Stores on every corner, suppress depression with drink Life's in constant motion, like the World is on axis If God stopped that rotation what you think is gonna happen? Life no more, that's enough for improvement I scream unity because the people need movement Put your sword down, you see it's the only solution Anything else destruction, World pollution Chorus
