War Dogs

[Intro: Ransom]

Is anyone out there?

Anyone? Come on man

Somebody answer

It’s a war out here man

It’s not safe

[Verse 1: Ransom]

My nigga Spesh said I should show my face

'Cause if they don't see you, how they gon' know you great?

But me around a crowd right now is too big a show of faith

It's one thing just to know the hate

But I can feel it so deep inside, it causes my bones to ache

I won't give them my soul to take

You know this place, it been slaughter, disorder

You could run game but not on a pimp's daughter

These the things that I've been taught ya

Extremities and limbs tortured, this sort of

The kind of feelings I felt when I seen Obama sip on that Flint watеr

Don't get caught up, how could your mental change if it's nеver challenged?

Told this youngin' once he stopped spinning, he'll find a better balance

Had some talent, but he slid off the rails and it cost him

Grabbed his hammer went drilling and now it's nails in his coffin

What you offering? I came from that place where nobody's doors was locked

We stalked the block, them neighbors hit kids and nobody called the cops

Them Puerto Rocks called us negros but they never thought to stop

Where fiends had bras and socks, DVDs in the barber shop

Your friends called your father pops, at least you had a father, nigga

I was looking up to Phil Drummond, he was my father figure

Dreaming of a Lisa Bonet or sleeping with Carlton's sister

Ended up getting my dick sucked by fiends in apartments quicker

After hour bars and liquor, dancing with a scarred up stripper

Walking to the car in slippers, handing out some jars to sniffers

Guess you had to be there, that sign on the gate that told us beware

But if we had listened, you think we'd be here?

[Verse 2: Che Noir]

I got rich vision, natural long hair, and I got chocolate skin

With the sharpest pen, saw more losses before I saw a win

It's hard to swim after burnt bridges but that's the consequence

The cause is grim, plus I'm still paying for all my father's sins

My heart is fenced off from the people I used to call my friends

Them niggas took miles off my favors, that's what they call a inch

Been starving since I was a poor kid on my mama's tits

I been on that shit, that niggas now calling trends

Squeeze medals to 'em, we rebels to 'em

Leave a witness in terror, it's like the screams echo to 'em

Make it in hoops or rap? They said them dreams ghetto to 'em

Rappers think it's they time, I'm like a reschedule to 'em

'Cause I don't give mercy to rappers, it's like the devil to 'em

Brain shot to your head as soon as I say hello to 'em

Make your body disappear, it's like they never knew 'em

Your family won't get your body back 'less I sell it to 'em

Feed to the yellow dust, the town where the ghetto sluts

Think a move to Atlanta is a sign that they leveled up

Just by the people that you run with could tell you're dumb

Why? 'Cause you hang around niggas I never trust

I don't wish you the best of luck, they walk with the Desert tuck

If they ain't then you better duck or end with your head in blood

What's taught that it's always somebody who had less than us

So I stayed in my lane and never worried 'bout catching up
