War Outside

Got a funny feeling deep in my stomach Ain't nobody laughin', ha-ha-ha Think the joke's on me Feel it in my bones, feel it in my soul, feel it in my spirit No, I shouldn't put it all on me Damned if I do, cancelled if I don't Either way, I'm wrong, I'm just tryna get this weight off me Didn't have a half, so I took a quarter Sippin' holy water while I listen to hypocrisy There's a war goin' on outside Nobody see it but me (but me) There's a war goin' on outside Nobody see it but me (but me) Still don't watch the news, no, no, no 'Cause my nigga ain't your nigga So be careful what you say for views Tried to talk about it, tried to walk around it Trippin', now I'm drownin' and my aura got them ocean blues Felt like I'm above it until it's my cousin And I gotta tell his mama what I did not do "Why weren't he with you?" Am I that removed? Am I just confused? I don't make the rules, they make me There's a war goin' on outside Nobody see it but me (but me), uh There's a war goin' on outside Nobody see it but me (but me) Ayy, the summer knows I put my hope in embers of the day I was in a phase with the dargs dem Nothing to communicate with, everything to say I can't be out here beggin' for pardons, nah Me and jigga saw a winner before we were asked if We could bill a riddim, we were questionin' the answers Even if it didn't drop, it's something out of nothing Watch me, I'll be out here regardless I said I didn't need a reason I'ma make a bit and catch a win before I sleep here I'ma need some things out of this place, it made me need it A penny for a thoughts or a pound for your thinkin' (Wait, I'm thinkin') I'ma need some cheese here just to dip in Just a have-not who had wants, then had a feeling, I could feel it I could have everything that I didn't I said I could have everything that I didn't, I didn't There's a war goin' on outside Nobody see it but me (but me) Oh, there's a war goin' on outside No, nobody see it but me No, no, no No, no, no, no
