The War Is On

[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 killing is spontaneous

They classify as villains upon playing this

The intellect is shining and brilliant beyond radiance

Compare the scene to the coverage of the Arab Spring

Molotov cocktail/ 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

Classified 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

Serial killers and pyramid builders moving stone

Vatican catacomb ceremonies at tombs in Rome
