Oh here goes another gift for this world This world that keeps filling my body with holes My scars they itch and I pick my scabs and I grow While they all try to cut my throat But god aint gonna let me go to my grave Without showing you what he has made There's a war outside There's a war outside and just know that if I die Know that I fought all my life for this There's a war outside and if I should die tonight Whether it's wrong or its right I'll be missed There's a war outside And when morning brings her light we'll be his There's a war outside Bow your heads and close your eyes Oh my brothers and sisters we're trapped in this hole But we're kept down here because it's all about control But we're trapped together so well stick tight and out of the cold And they'll reap just what they've sewn God aint gonna let us go to our graves without showing them what he has made Seen my first body when I was a kid I thought sleeping in streets was just something they did Then I grew older I never grew up I wouldn't let them take something I didn't get enough of I put a whole life sentence in these streets I didn't sleep a wink I had to kill to eat SongtexteThey tried to make it so I didn't see 25 And when I did I thanked god and then I retired There's a war outside I hear all these critics talk but I listen to none Cuz none of them have ever been where music comes from And none of them have ever stepped foot inside a slum And none of them have ever wrapped their hands around a gun And squeezed till its empty and it locks up and it's done And feel the man on the other sides last breath leap out his lungs I've been doing this here since I was young So next time you speak about me just cut out your fucking tongue Aus Songtexte Mania
