Outkast War Lyrics

War Lyrics

Now get the fuck up off me nigga..

[Big Boi]
As I, struggle to keep my
balance and composure
I'm 'posed ta, propose a toast to players on every
coast-a
The lyrical roller coaster, mind-bender
'Stead of watchin these
sucker MC's
I'm seein just how they lyin to the general population
Don't
be patient, get up and stand up for your life
Don't you agree or understand
we lost some rights at 1-1-9?
Come dumb, come young, come blind unwind
confined
to the situation, we facin, cause in time, tick tick
boom

[singers]
Tick, boom.. tick, tick-boom
Tick, boom.. tick,
tick-boom
Tick, boom.. tick, tick-boom
Tick, boom.. tick,
tick-boom

[explosion forward and reversed]
[scratched: "You're gonna
die here" - 2X]

[Big Boi]
When will we all, awake up out this
dream
Come here and smell the Folgers, the soldiers are human beings
Man
actin as if he was the supreme bein
Clockin the souls of men out like he was
G-O-D and
W-A-Rrah, there'll be no tomorrow but sorrow
and horror will
follow the hollow hearts battle for dollars
Politicians, modern day
magicians
Physicians of death, more health care for poor health
Who makin
us ill, they makin us kill
That's makin me spill my guts (chill Big, lay in
the cut)
For what? I refuse to sit in the backseat and get handled
Like I
do nuttin all day but sit around watch the Cartoon Channel
I rap about, the
Presidential election and the scandal
that followed, and we all watched the
nation, as it swallowed
and chalked it up, basically America you got
FUCKED
The media shucked and jived now we stuck - damn!

[singing -
"can't be heard clearly"]
[scratched: "You're gonna die here" -
2X]

[Big Boi]
Operation Anaconda - ask yourself
was it full of
bleeps and blunders, did they ever find Osama?
And why in the fuck did
Daniel Pearl have to pay the price
for his life and his wife plead
twice?
See Al-Amin got life and Fred got dead, Hampton
To dampen the
dream of all the Panthers
They got they answer for ransom
As we read
together, as we dream together
Count your blessings whenever you feel that
things won't be no better
But it got to, you gave me this microphone so I
must rock you
Your brainwaves, airwaves, energized and SHOCKED you
Y'all
got me, well I got y'all, long as I know y'all listenin
I'ma always bring
food for thought to the table in the kitchen
Now eat nigga!
