Mac - Battle Cry lyrics
Dedicated to all the soldiers we lost in the struggle
Probably losin' the world war three niggas
Rest in peace
[chorus-mac & singer]
See I'm beneath the sunright?
(tomorrow)
Anticipatin' just waitin' quotin' my battle cry
(how can we live? if we're born to die tomorrow? )
Don't want to die but if I gottaI'm ready cuz
Just hope the lord is forgiving as mama said he wasnigga what?
[1st verse]
I struggled and strived long as I been alive
Witnessed my first murder back in 1985
I walk with the wicked and kick it with the thugs
In factsaw the police and smoked some bud
But never no loveI witnessed the sickness of unprotected lust
So many children born just because the rubbers bust
I sympathize with they mothers but fuck the men
Cuz a man ain't shitif he's no papa to his children
My woman's a thug girlbut I love her dearly
My patnas are thieves and I know thatbut I keep em near me
It's gettin' kinda hard for me
In the city where the drama just be callin' me
Whoa!
I live among the roaches and the rats
And the killers and the crack
And the policemen that slang that smack
I lay me down to sleepclutchin' my heat
With my sneakers on my feet
Just in case my window locks on meI be...
[chorus]
[bridge one]
And that's some real shit right thereya heard me?
Y'all niggas ain't even understandin' the game nigga
Niggas is dyin'it's a muthafuckin' world war three on the streets
Niggay'all feel it
[verse two]
And as the blood of my niggas flood the streets
I refuse to speakthe cracks and concrete
Can disguise ya feet
And tears fall at the site of these white sheets
The street like heat
The cold secretsthat midnight keeps
And we was raised by itit's common as a cold
Eyes are closedbody is froze
Blood leakin' out they nose
I never chose I was given
Survival of the fit livin'
Driven insane by it's rhythmbut fuck
I never gavesee his mind's in the grave
And most of you niggas praise the ways we was raised
It must be that weed smoke
When most of my niggas need coketo cope
With these different strokes
It's murder we wroteinto the project
I'm wonderin' if my niggas'll see the site of my death
Before it happenmy life is on the edge of my pen
I'm waitin' to explode countin' to ten
Forgive me for all the sin nigga
[chorus] (3x)
[bridge two-singer]
Why do we live if we're born to die?
Why do we live if we're born to die?
Why do we live if we're born to die?
Why do we live if we're born to die?
[chorus]
Y'all niggas sing that shit nigga!
Ohohyou too cute to sing that shitha? bitch ass nigga.
World war
Peace
