War Remix

[Chorus]

There's a war in the streets tonight

And nobody's really feelin' alright

I got a blunt for my chronic, a juice for my tonic

I know now...

So I know we'll be alright

[Verse 1 - Saigon]

When niggas tell you don't hurt nobody, they bein’ funny

When they say that shit to Saigon, they mean it money

Ever since I was little, bitches say, “He a dummy.”

‘Cause one year, I went to church and beat up the Easter bunny

Now it’s every day I hit God with silent praise

So he can help me resolve some of my violent ways

I was locked up for four hundred holidays

Was in the peazy when I heard Eazy had died from AIDS

Was in the bing for that Bad Boy, Death Row thing

Was locked away when Dr. Dre was crowned West Coast king

I'm the thug these rappers be tryna be

Shit, lyrically, I'm a fuckin’ anomaly

You as much as rapper as Sean John to me

Matter of fact, you an actor like Sean Connery

I'm the nigga with the rap sheet longer than your rap book

Hustlers got they chain snatched and they got they crack took

[Chorus]

There's a war in the streets tonight

And nobody's really feelin' alright

I got a blunt for my chronic, a juice for my tonic

I know now...

So I know we'll be alright

[Verse 2 – Nas]

Nine-four.  Destiny opens her eyes

For the first time.  Praise God.  Baby mom's cryin'

Planned to be a strong black family

But we both were too young, too strung, too much flashin'

New comer called “Verbal Assassin” runnin' with

Nothin' but the worst type.  Worst fight

When we brought my baby home the first night

Cursed like sailors, burst out the crib

Ragin' in my new car bought from entertainment

Champaign and gainin' clout fast, whiplash

Did this bitch just pass in the club pugged up?  Stupid ass

Grabbed her by the pony tail.  "Never disrespect me"

I'm a street vet, regret the sex, but not Desi

Move back to your grandma.  I'm single, the land's mine

She keeps the Benz, I'm all in the streets again

Squeezin' 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

Checkin' out my wife's chemistry with my little girl

It's so amazin', playin'.  Life is so crazy

I've grown up and thankful for lessons God gave me

[Chorus]

There's a war in the streets tonight

And nobody's really feelin' alright

I got a blunt for a chronic, a juice for my tonic

I know now that I'm feelin' right if it goes down

'Cause my third eye sees the lowdown

‘Cause 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
