About War
In one of the more aggressive and outwardly political songs from Big Boi, he takes aim at the Bush administration, the war on drugs, the war in Afghanistan, and the national media. Sir Lucius lets it rip with a litany of rants about the current state of the country and the misplaced priorities of the politicians running it. .
War Lyrics
[00:03.66] Get the fuck up off me nigga!
[00:07.04]
[00:10.55] As I struggle to keep my balance and composure
[00:13.04] I'm 'posed to propose a toast to the players on every coast of
[00:15.70] The lyrical rollercoaster, Mind Bender
[00:17.66] 'Stead of watching these sucker emcees
[00:18.91] I'm seeing just how they're lyin' to the general population
[00:21.27] Don't be patient, get up and stand up for your life
[00:23.43] Do you agree or understand that we lost some rights since 1-1-9?
[00:25.98] Come dumb, come young, come blind
[00:27.31] Unwind, confined to the situation we facin', 'cause it's time
[00:30.74] Tic, Tic Boom!
[00:31.62] Tic, boom, tic, tic, boom!
[00:35.61] Tic, boom, tic, tic, boom!
[00:41.76] Tic, boom, tic, tic, boom!
[00:45.36] Tic, boom, tic, tic, boom!
[00:53.36]
[01:16.85] When will we all, awake up out of this dream
[01:18.71] Come here and smell the Folgers, the soldiers
[01:20.27] The human beings, man acting as if he was the Supreme Being
[01:23.42] Clocking the souls of men out like he was G.O.D. and W.A.R.
[01:26.89] There will be no tomorrow, but sorrow and horror will follow
[01:29.03] The hollow hearts battle for dollars
[01:30.42] Politicians, modern-day magicians, physicians of death
[01:33.07] More health care for poor health who makin' us ill?
[01:35.59] They making us kill, it's makin' me spill my guts
[01:37.70] Chill, big lay in the cut, for what I refuse to sit in the backseat and get handled
[01:41.31] Like I do nothing all day but sit around and watch the Cartoon Channel
[01:43.72] I'll rap about the presidential election and the scandal that followed
[01:46.52] And we all watched the nation as it swallowed and chalked it up
[01:48.90] Basically, America, you got fucked
[01:50.59] The media shucked and jived, now we stuck, damn!
[01:54.78]
[02:11.26] Operation Anaconda: ask yourself
[02:12.96] Was it full of bleeps and blunders?
[02:14.24] Did they ever find Osama?
[02:15.32] And why in the fuck did Daniel Pearl have to pay
[02:17.17] The price for his life and his wife plead twice?
[02:19.21] See Al-Amin got a life and Fred got dead Hampton
[02:21.82] To dampen the dream of the Panthers they got the answer
[02:24.04] For ransom, as we breathe together, as we dream together
[02:26.74] Count your blessings whenever you feel that things won't be no better
[02:28.81] But it got to, he gave me this microphone so I must rock your brain waves
[02:32.05] Airwaves energize and shock you
[02:33.58] Y'all got me?
[02:34.03] Well I got y'all long as I know you listening
[02:35.86] I'm gon' always bring food for thought to the table in the kitchen
[02:37.96] Now eat nigga!
[02:38.59] Eat nigga!
[02:43.32] Eat nigga!
[02:43.56] Eat nigga!
