War
Keon Bryce, Nasir Jones, Salaam Remi
There's a war in the streets tonight
And nobody's really feeling alright
I got a blunt for my chronic, a juice for my tonic
I know now that I'm feeling right if it goes down
'Cause my third eye sees the lowdown
And I know it's not my time to go now
'Cause God's got my back in this showdown
So I know we'll be alright
Yeah, Brooks Brothers overcoat, know the ropes, smooth as Hall & Oates
Briefcase, silk ties, slick as them older folks
Silver fo'-fo', cocked? No
My chauffeur driver just left some of my colleagues smoking that Cali
Caught a glimpse of myself in the Barney's shop window
Kinda' see my father's features creeping in a little
Got an office on Broadway, business in Jamaica
Tell my daughter try the hardest so the best schools'll take her
And I'm late to a date with my wife, I realize
I stopped to shop, had to get her some type surprise
And I'm walking through it, chaos is all around me
But God got me, no fear, through the fire, try and stop me
There's a war in the streets tonight
And all this drama's got me feeling uptight
I don't know what I'll do if I don't see my boo
'Cause she's standing on the corner of Linden Boulevard
Holding our baby in her arms
So hold on, your daddy's in sight
Yeah, nine-four, Destiny opens her eyes
For the first time, praise God, baby mom's crying
Planned to be a strong black family
But we both were too young, too strung, too much flashing
Newcomer called Verbal Assassin running with
Nothing but the worst type, worst fight
When we brought my baby home the first night
Cursed like sailors, burst out the crib raging
In my new car bought from entertainment
Champagne and gaining clout fast, whiplash
Did this bitch just pass in the club hugged up, stupid ass
Grabbed her by the pony tail, "never disrespect me"
I'm a street vet, regret the sex, but not Desi
Moved back to your grandma, I'm single, the Land's mine
She keeps the Benz, I'm all in the streets again
Squeezing the pen, released again, chart toppers
Hard-bottoms blessed the feet, now less baby mom's problems
New woman, she's great, this a different world
Checking out my wife's chemistry with my little girl
It's so amazing, playing, life is so crazy
I'm grown up and thankful for lessons God gave me
There's a war in the streets tonight
And nobody's really feeling alright
I got a blunt for my chronic, a juice for my tonic
I know now that I'm feeling right if it goes down

So I know we'll be alright
From the day you was born
Your daughter Destiny, was one of your destinations

I got a blunt for my chronic, a juice for my tonic
Ho un blunt per la mia cronica, un succo per il mio tonico
I know now that I'm feeling right if it goes down
So ora che mi sento bene se succede qualcosa
'Cause my third eye sees the lowdown
Perché il mio terzo occhio vede la verità
And I know it's not my time to go now
E so che non è il mio momento di andare ora
'Cause God's got my back in this showdown
Perché Dio mi copre le spalle in questo scontro
So I know we'll be alright
Quindi so che andremo bene

Mi sono fermato a fare shopping, dovevo farle una sorpresa
And I'm walking through it, chaos is all around me
E sto camminando attraverso di esso, il caos è tutto intorno a me
But God got me, no fear, through the fire, try and stop me
Ma Dio mi protegge, nessuna paura, attraverso il fuoco, prova a fermarmi
There's a war in the streets tonight
C'è una guerra nelle strade stasera
And all this drama's got me feeling uptight
E tutto questo dramma mi fa sentire teso
I don't know what I'll do if I don't see my boo
Non so cosa farò se non vedo la mia ragazza
'Cause she's standing on the corner of Linden Boulevard
Perché lei sta in piedi all'angolo di Linden Boulevard
Holding our baby in her arms
Tenendo il nostro bambino tra le braccia
