War Lyrics - Speakerboxxx / The Love Below - Outkast

(Verse 1): 

Get the f*** up off me nigga! 

As I struggle to keep my balance and composure 

I'm 'posed to propose a toast to the players on every coast of 

The lyrical rollercoaster, Mind Bender 

'Stead of watching these sucker emcees 

I'm seeing just how they're lyin' to the general population 

Don't be patient, get up and stand up for your life 

Do you agree or understand that we lost some rights since 1-1-9? 

Come dumb, come young, come blind 

Unwind, confined to the situation we facin', 'cause it's time 

Tic, Tic Boom!

(Verse 2): 

When will we all awake up out of this dream 

Come here and smell the Folgers, the soldiers 

The human beings, man acting as if he was the Supreme Being 

Clocking the souls of men out like he was G.O.D. and W.A.R. 

There will be no tomorrow, but sorrow and horror will follow 

The hollow hearts battle for dollars 

Politicians, modern day magicians, physicians of death 

More health care for poor health who makin' us ill? 

They making us kill, it's makin' me spill my guts 

Chill, big lay in the cut, for what I refuse to sit in the backseat and get handled 

Like I do nothing all day but sit around and watch the Cartoon Channel 

I'll rap about the presidential election and the scandal that followed 

And we all watched the nation as it swallowed and chalked it up 

Basically, America, you got f***ed -- the media shucked and jived, now we stuck!

(Verse 3): 

Operation Anaconda: ask yourself, was it full of bleeps and blunders? 

Did they ever find Osama? And why in the f*** did Daniel Pearl have to pay 

The price for his life and his wife plead twice? 

See Al-amin got life and Fred got dead Hampton 

To dampen the dream of the Panthers they got the answer 

For ransom, as we breathe together, as we dream together 

Count your blessings whenever you feel that things won't be no better but it got to 

He gave me this microphone so I must rock your brain waves 

Airwaves energize and shock you -- y'all got me? 

Well I got y'all long as I know you listening 

I'm gon' always bring food for thought to the table in the kitchen 

Now eat, nigga!
