Hey all.

Wrote this a few nights ago. Its still not polished 100% but im posting it anyways. I did it to a 300 based beat that fat joe used. And turned the meaning of the beat around from street killing to a war economy type song.

Lyrics:

This is a war © Jessie Wald 2008

This is a war, people against people they wanting more
Holocaust, a solid core, trapped and aint found a door
Cause they coming through with this shit they telling you
And im telling you that they “off” cause they repelling you

Hear me out, this is when they say “oh, here he goes”
They say im fearing foes, and to the edge im veering close
But if the WMD’s George W’s friend sees blows
l turn your mother fuckin head to cheerios

From, cheering to ohhh’s n, from revering to loathing
Cause the fire searing your clothing
You standing hear in the open,
They can be Satan, so men in suits is just locin

Pinpointing targets not as hard as living as marching martyrs
Bark your orders wearing whool cause like sheep you just marching forward
Marching forward? Yeah, you just marching along
It feels, hard to be right when you fuckin barred from the wrong

-----------------------------------------------------------

They tell you that they’ll halt war, kick poverty
The chances of that are like winning in a fixed lottery
Your tricks got to me, yeah it’s a lot to me
Especially when someone says, that’s just how it ought to be

Ignorance, lots to see, innocence, lots to see
Words at a loss for me you think that im gasping hostily
But, im sittin on your side of the fence
The poor more side, start amplifying defense

War economies autonomy, its shooting out the free
Is shooting out of me but cant say it is startling
Cause war creates laws cant escape the profits
Oil and weapon companies who the hell gonna stop it

Debt perpetual like printed green backs multiplied n full
Why you think the dollar bills an all seeing eyeful
This country runs off war,
War depends on the lower class, so basically it runs off poor

Let me know what you think. Im not really in the mood for arguing though lol.

Well . . . you don't leave many options, do you?

The words are great.

But for once I'd like to see an anti-war song that didn't use the stereotypical and tedious view that a country's economy depends on war and that the poor are the pawns.
 
I would be willing to discuss this with someone if they had different feelings, but ive just done it so much lately it gets tedious. But its worth it.

I have bunch of political songs, about my feelings on things, il post some.

Thanks for the feed.
 
I agree, it's fairly predictable, but at least it's not self-glorifying.

Pretty good stuff, mang.
