[Chorus: singing]
|
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
|
|
[Saigon:]
|
When niggas tell you don't hurt nobody they being funny
|
When they say its Saigon they mean its money
|
Ever since I was little bitches say he a dummy
|
Because one year I went to church and beat up the Easter bunny
|
Everyday I thank god with silent pray
|
So he can help me resolve some of my violent ways
|
I was locked up for four hundred holidays
|
I was in the peezee when I heard Easy E and Dr. Dre
|
Was in the pen for that bad boy death row thing
|
I was locked away when Dre was crowned west coast king
|
I'm the thug these rappers trying to be
|
Lyrically I'm a fuckin anomaly
|
You as much of a rapper as Sean John and me
|
Matter of fact you an actor like Sean Connery
|
I'm the nigga wit the rap sheet longer then your rap book
|
Hustlers got their chain snatched and they got their crack took
|
|
[Chorus: singing]
|
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...
|
So I know we'll be alright
|
|
[Nas:]
|
Yeah, 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 come, I caught verbal assassin runnin' with
|
Nothin' but the worst type, worst fight
|
But 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
|
Moved 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 the thankful for lessons God gave me
|
|
[Chorus: singing]
|
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
|
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
|
