There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
My pen spreads sickness
when it hits the pages
contagious displays of truth
without the chasers
I declare war upon the majors
independent states have
skills but lack the papers
First join forces
stack our NASDAQ
sabotage the galaxy
and have that Napster cat whacked
Next step
intercept your promo
have your street team
fucked like a marketing porno
Confess you collect payola
when they pay you to play them
whack jams over and over
Some smoke crack and snort cola
I swear the type of shit yall play
you can't be sober
Disc jocks on top get cocky
you are what you eat
beat ya meat like Rocky
Yo top 10
and all them charts just watch me
take Bill's boards like
Laimbeer I'm Barkley
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
Although a million minds may die
tonight I can save one
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
Give life through what I write
realize I can take one
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
Although a million minds may die
tonight I can save one
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
And it's all for your radio station
As long as I'm alive
I pledge the mission
bring truth like a rebel of rhyme
that ride the rhythm
at night like Paul Revere
the lies are coming
Throw some cheddar in the sky
watch the rats come running
Bling bling is a joke to me
outside you look paid
but your spirit look broke to me
Can't forget how God spoke to me
a bold soul he awoke in me
now my pen speaking potently
There's hope in me
the battle's lost but the war remains
It takes time for minds to change
Feel my scars observe my stains
I fought hard for territory
in the state of your brains took
casualties to the max degree
Hip hop switched sides
now it fights with me
Breathe deep inhale my chi
Overground I'm undercover
can't you tell it's me dawg
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
Although a million minds may die
tonight I can save one
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
Give life through what I write
realize I can take one
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
Although a million minds may die
tonight I can save one
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
And it's all for your radio station
General Jeru stay smokin cigars
ground troops in humvees
led by Sergeant Nas
Damn the bad guys
took J Live hostage
Pete Rock dropped a bomb on
Flex and the imposters
C-Rayz took the gauge
started blasting
Sean John got smoked blood
soaked his fashion
KRS capped Nelly
right before he murked him
made it clear whose no1
then closed his curtain
Victims lie sprayed up
weapons of steel
Technics microphones
soldiers fire at will
The real shall prevail
the truth will force them
Give us more air time
than moves from Mike Jordan
Fight if you like
support if you choose to
download our music
in the end we'll lose too
This war's for your radio
and stereo box
Join the army underground
and turn that shit up a notch biyatch
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
Although a million minds may die
tonight I can save one
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
Give life through what I write
realize I can take one
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
Although a million minds may die
tonight I can save one
There's a war goin on outside
no one is safe from
And it's all for your radio station
