At War

So these days every clip is comin' fully loaded Can't take no chances 'cause this world done got me claustrophobic The government gone play they hand But they gon' sugarcoat it But cops beatin' up the ones who got they freedom stolen I see the pain in all them people I can't help but notice My granny said them heavy pressures ain't for us To tote it Give it to God, you know I'm tryin' But some of my thoughts corroded Sometimes I wanna say just fuck it all, I need a moment I know you pray I don't succeed some people waitin' on it But as I walk through the valley in the shadow and death Know every weapon formed against me was the test to myself This song may never do a thing but the intention was there Pray for Haiti I been on this journey alone, I know nobody gon' save me I can never fathom the fears that people livin' in daily White man swingin' a switch style that image is crazy Back in 70's, back in slavery When my ancestors showed us what was bravery Keep an army, like the navy Go out bustin' if I must protect the babies I ain't gon' lie before I start this shit here too traumatic So many people gone in seconds from this COVID action And these days I'm feelin' lower than my normal fashion If I'm not alignin' with my purpose I'm not fully happy I get this shit here from a source And you can't mirror match it Ain't nothin' realer than me healin' up this mental damage Everyone vanished, I didn't panic, just up the standards Without the hype of a major label still did heavy traction Did all that cappin' 'bout your album Shit was barely average I like my income when it's passive and my life lavish That loyalty went out the window once they took advantage I ain't gon' lie, what's on my plate, now I can barely manage My independent plate bigger than my last palate Livin' on my practice, alpha linin' on some private island Really I'm breathin', coppin' mine and them chakras alignin' Pray for Haiti I been on this journey alone, I know nobody gon' save me I can never fathom the fears that people livin' in daily White man swingin' a switch style that image is crazy Pray for Haiti --- At War - Ace Hood
