Post by: Jome on May 01, 2003, 09:57:43 PM
Tray Deee, Everlast, Defari, J-Ro, RBX, Daz, Soopafly, Bad Azz, WC, Dilated Peoples, Mac Minister
Down with us
Typed by Jome



Chorus:
[Everlast]
There's nowhere to hide nowhere to run
When the sins of the father fall on the sun
The bigger the problem the bigger the gun
And you don't wanna know what your government's done
Cuz the Taliban was down with us
Saddam Hussein was down with us (J-Ro adlibs)
South Africa was down with us (J-Ro adlibs)
And yall wanna know why the world don't trust

[Tray Deee]
They keep us handcuffed, chainin' and slave us
We might gangbang, but yall the real fuckin' gangstas (ha)
Hanged us and raped us and chased us and mased us
so I don't give a mad fuck if the shit flame up
We aint finna win, we'll lose or draw
When they swear to protect us, but abuse the law
Claim equality, they policy to fool us all
while the military steady stay movin' road (say what)
In the ghetto ! (no war)...

[Defari] (Interrupting Tray Deee)
..But people all around us are starvin' and homeless
what is Bush focused on ?
Must be his fathers old grudges, the schools need money man they fuckin' off the budgets (a-ha)
Or more Tomahawks, and penetentaries
The devils propaganda creates enemies (J-Ro: yeah)
Now they pump-pumpin' war in the middle East
And this shit got me thinkin: who's really the beast ?

[J-Ro]
People always talking 'bout gangsta-rap
Now Bush talkin' bout: where all my gangstas at ?
Somebody call Don King
Bush and Saddam need to take it to the ring, and do the damn thing
They already talkin' bout rebuilding their cities
or roll around their hood and shit still look shitty
It's all about the loot, grab your gun and shoot
Peace to my brother Will and the rest of the troops

[RBX]
The temperature rising, it's about to boil
I'm not Bamboo, but this all about the oil
I sit back and watch they plots and schemes
tangle up strings to a puppet regime
so now it's on who like: who where when ?
Get ya mind right, I truely recommend
too much information, C-N-N
they told me that Bush trained THEM
a deadly combination to a wicked quest
and it's true that the ?? comes home to nest

* Prodigy sampled:
There's a war goin' on outside

[Soopafly]
Yeah
I just can't understand, but then again I do
Lord god forgive a nigga for the sin I do
Shit, Soopa not stupid I can read the signs
What evil defines, and motherfuckers out for wealth
And ways of stealth, bombers, fake talk to calm us down
we can't rise when the fall is now
innocent die, enormous rounds fall out the sky
from an army hellbound and hidden by one clown

* Chorus

* Jamaican dude singin, whatever..  ::)

[Daz]
What is the world, comin' to
true domination, frustration, war in someones altercation
my motivation's towards peace, the violence need to cease
(But how can you say that when you're goin' thru it in the streets ?)
It's a difference between suckaz and busta
a child in this motha, but what can I say towards the otha ?
Daz is ?? to movement, tell 'em let's do this for the people and ourself
we gotta stay true to what we believe in
it's true world domination, for all colours, and all other races
now what I see, Bush, they after the oil
it's a big dopesack for him and his father to bubbel

[Bad Azz]
I declare (Waaaaaaar)
and you have the right to bare arms
but no weapons of mass destruction (whaaat?)
and who are you to tell me which size bombs I could drop
when my enemies threaten me with harm
When Saddam violated the rules of war
there's no rule to killing and dying, therefore
"Fuck yall", I ain't fighting this damn war
I ain't dyin' over terror in a land that's this soft

[Dilated Peoples-dude, shit if I know]
War is life, yes, and war is death
War don't decide who's right, but who's left
I fight every day, so I ain't spittin' on soldiers
this war's for oil, for religion and culture
big Benz's, dollars, and family honor
have world domination, have family trauma
the media just turns Saddam to Osama
*? rakka-ossalam-lakum ?, peace be upon us
 
[W.C.]
Peace? Ain't no peace, the killin' ain't ceased
as long as you yellin "peace", I'ma carry my piece
Miss America, oh safe, can you see in front of you ?
I'ma Westside gang-related P-O-double V (ooooh ooooo)
sellin' with felons where it ain't all good
adjustance in quality aint never been in the hood
catch me guzzelin' Giiiin, while yall gonna "Free Iraq"
I'm screamin' "Free the homies out the pen"

* Chorus

* Outro by RBX
* Additional outro by Mac minister

man that is a very tough question, everybody ripped it so hard.  WC, Tray Deee, and RBX had a slight slight edge over the others.

I voted for Daz, i love the way he comes in with 'What is the world coming to...', plus he had a lot of energy on his whole verse.

RBX and WC are my other favorites, whole song is BANGIN tho

Good lookin on the Xplicit version, Nima.  ;)
I updated with the curse-words..

It's a hard choice, they all fuckin ripped that shit, it's between Tray Deee & RBX
 for me, they had better topic matters.

Definately RBX & Tray Deee.........I had to prefer RBX though,I allways find his flow and voice tha shit,but this gots to be one of his best verses ever.......and a RBX outro is allways dope but I hardly understood what he said there. Maybe I'm a little biased because RBX is my favorite rapper though... ;) I voted for him.

By the way for those of you who liked the guy from Dilated Peoples verse on this track, there was a whole track on the Expansion Team album in which he used a similar flow for the same type of topic matter entitled "War". You should check this track out if you haven't heard it already.

Yeah, but that's what he says, right ?
I had a difficult time typing RBX's lyrics, he's mumbling so much and his bass-voice doesn't make it easier..

I wish they could make more tracks like these..  :'(
Finally a track with lyrics that actually mean something.
