Book off Wars

[00:14.13] It ain't nothing like a fistful a cash or a bliss fulla the hash

[00:17.32] That twist like a mustache, from end to end, spread it like a rash

[00:21.31] From talking through your walkman or at your disco bash

[00:51.48] Like a fool who stole pity y'all

[00:54.14] From tryna go up against city hall titty bar

[00:56.28] The black mic is like a red violin

[00:58.67] Ok, everybody back to the lab, try again

[01:01.32] Bloody rap game like leviathan

[01:03.98] Leave a bad taste, killin' my high like niacin

[01:06.64] Stop kiddin' middlemen need Ritalin

[01:25.06] By the end of the night spaz like shazbot

[01:27.71] I spilt a shot made the pen lines runny

[01:30.10] An ill plot that's ten times Ben Stein money, funny

[01:33.06] How he rip the scripts with a straight face

[01:35.45] With more rhymes than is lines in ya database

[01:38.40] Placing rappers in endangerment, who's reckless

[01:41.06] With this food for thought sorta' like breakfast

[01:58.88] I came to the shores of America disguised as a peddler

[02:01.81] The alpha and omega and the home of the beggars, the black settlers

[02:04.79] Who been beaten, raped, lynched, robbed and stoned

[02:07.18] And called to roam the earth in service cause they couldn't maintain at home

[02:09.84] This dates back to 1555

[02:12.23] When they captured the first tribe of men and piled them in a pen

[02:15.17] Fifty feet high

[02:18.09] And took em all on a 9000 mile ride

[02:19.69] And landed on the shore of a place they never seen before

[02:22.92] But read about this inside the ancient books of war

[02:25.31] Bonded in stainless steel, stripped of their language

[02:27.70] Still survived the anguish of slavery but still remained nameless

[02:30.35] Separated to portions and tricked by John Haughty Hawkins

[02:33.28] And sold on the auction, taught birth control and abortion

[02:35.93] Rulers of the first part became slaves of the worst part

[02:38.32] The devils cursed God and reversed God

[02:40.98] And turned God into dog and made people search hard

[02:43.10] No relief came til' the prophet of W.D. Fard

[02:45.76] To a trauma, dropped our mommas off in Bahamas

[02:48.68] And Barbados, Tobago's, separated us from slave boats

[02:52.14] Made our own brothers hate us from Virgin Isle to Jamaica

[02:55.06] Trinidad, Honduras, Haiti, Grenada

[02:58.24] Bermuda to Cayman, mental enslavement

[03:03.03] Conquer more dips than the late Hannibal

[03:05.15] Terrain gets too rough, I ride the beats like wooly mammals

[03:08.08] Smokin' shit like Joe Camel

[03:09.93] Fatal when inhaled

[03:11.27] Double-0-seven but you still got tail

[03:13.15] Q's scrambling device must have failed

[03:15.29] Spies, thick thighs, and mics get mil, lies

[03:18.23] Deception, military prowess

[03:20.88] Bad bitches, tours, and microphone powers

[03:31.78] Holdin' shit down until the last hours

[03:34.44] Worldwide famine, poor people demanding

[03:37.09] That somebody do something soon

[03:39.21] And let's examine the facts

[03:40.81] Behind the violent acts, behind the daily gunplay

[03:43.73] The cocaine and the crack

[03:45.06] Thug season

[03:46.12] What's the reason for the trees and everybody wants to eat

[03:47.71] Some gotta resort to thievin', believin'

[03:50.37] That a hustle will help 'em get by

[03:53.03] But for anyone that gets over

[03:54.36] Another hundred will die

[03:55.68] Will I succumb, will my heart grow numb ?

[03:58.08] Or will I save the world ? By using my mind like a gun ?

[04:00.73] Seems a better weapon, 'cause everybody got heat

[04:03.12] I know I carry mine, since the last time I got beat

[04:05.78] Ain't nothing sweet

[04:07.11] I turn a stickup kid to a soldier, put him down with the cause

[04:08.96] Make him feel real bold and more intelligent

[04:11.62] Plus aware of the tricknology, the revolutionist

[04:14.81] Grab your shit and follow me

[04:16.67] 2000 came and went 2001 was crazy

[04:19.86] People can't deal fashion go back to the 80's

[04:21.98] Got me thinking about my n-gas, drinking dark liquor

[04:25.17] Sparks flicker in my mind, my heart quick to think about the time

[04:27.56] They try to front on a kid, up in front of Medgar Evers

[04:29.95] Nigga nailed, Juju, Seth 'n D rolled up like "whatever you wanna do"

[04:32.87] Damn nigga, Derreck locked down

[04:35.26] Seth held the spot down wonder how long he got now, wow

[04:38.19] If it happened today who would rob a man

[04:40.84] Junior got shot, Ray committed suicide, do or die

[04:43.76] Changed to do or live, doing their thing

[04:45.64] Rubix is in Altanta, LG ready to bang

[04:48.56] Kev lost his baby momma, Kipa lost a baby father

[04:50.95] Enough to make you say "why bother?"

[04:53.08] But no, they tried harder – that’s strength

[04:54.13] Love to my nigga John (word) soon as you come back, you back on

[04:58.14] That word is bond

[04:59.46] Yeah baby, shit's about to jump off and

[05:01.61] Lookin' for the bus to bring in my man from up north

[05:04.25] Been like three years since when got knocked

[05:06.37] Since he got caught

[05:07.17] Punked up like five new blocks, holding down for it

[05:09.56] Kept a nigga straight with money in the books

[05:11.95] And them bitches is crooks who look out for other crooks

[05:14.60] Took him shopping, money in his pocket is straight

[05:17.26] Dropped him off at the wife's crib after we ate

[05:19.92] Our estate was the next move for me

[05:22.05] Had to make that nigga chill for at least two to three months

[05:24.97] Cause when it's on, it's on

[05:26.03] He didn't care

[05:27.36] It's like slow down baby

[05:28.68] The money ain't going nowhere

[05:30.82] Keep in touch though and show how much your ass is with it

[05:33.47] The dope flow is there and in a minute you can get it (come on)

[05:35.89] You gotta watch a nigga just coming home in a game

[05:38.34] Cause on the low we may just be trying to go against the grain
