[Verse 1]
At times I recline way back n’ puff stacks, revelations
Direct my conversations about the devils we be lacing
In the revolution Vietnam is how I'm troopin'
My mind's been a battle since birth
That's why I'm puffin L's and juicin'
Like ya man in arms, you blueprint
Planning my attack on the sounds of waters twins we loopin'
Been inspiration for my soldiers at night
Mad brothers holding corners
Selling shit that burn right
And I be sparkin' like a sniper on sight
Watching shifty niggas through my optic range
Cuz life’s a bitch and now she got me acting strange
So I maintain with ill proposes
Rhymes will send a message like the burning bush to Moses
The child would've never chose this life
This shit is trifer than the devils anger
So I reload my mind in every chamber
But clips of danger
I'm Infiltratin' strangers with the ill precision of a green beret
To sacrifice your whole division
My niggas call on me like right religion
Envision Kane to reign majestic
My mans are vigilantes on some next shit
Profanities and tech shit
My sanity reflects my life in hell, surviving hell
Now I reside in hell
And feed corruption through my clientele
Means for making dreams, ill production schemes
The man is raisin' in hell as the swing of pro rebels, one time
So feel the rain from behind
[Hook]
I got my bags packed (Check)
I got my boots strapped (Check)
I got my buds and joys in my buddha sack (Check)
Now when my man call, know I'm ready to roll
Sounds of war
I got my bags packed (Check)
I got my boots strapped (Check)
I got my buds and joys in my buddha sack (Check)
Now when my man call, know I'm ready to roll
Sounds of war
[Verse 2]
See at times my mind be running like a brother gunning crazed
With army fatigues
Cuz every day I'm hunting justice like a cure for aids
Swing a spade, rhyme crazed
I move strategic lyrics blaze
Whenever heated on point
And flamin' MC’s like joints
And manufactorary reactions like I'm packin'
State of minds positioned like a prison
But soul's attacking
Using the streets as the plains of battle
I'm rounding hostages like cattle
And sneak attacking from the shadows
So leave ya raddled by my militant ways
My murdering phase, assassinating traitors at a habit
My mind is tragic, steal an trainer for it's time to raining
I'm talking terrorist, that fought his way through time explaining
So I'll attack at Red Dawn with no time
Remaining on point, a military missionary's how I vary
My mind is scary preparations from crime, one time
Feel the rain, god, so feel the rain
[Hook]
I got my bags packed
I got my boots strapped
I got my buds and joys in my buddha sack
Now when my man call, know I'm ready to roll
Sounds of war
I got my bags packed
I got my boots strapped
I got my buds and joys in my buddha sack
Now when my man call, know I'm ready to roll
Sounds of war
