War - WAR!!
War - WAR!!
[Verse One: Rob Base]
This is a beginning, message I`m sending - out
To all the rappers who think they got clout
Maybe you do, maybe you don`t
Wanna start a battle with me, but I won`t
Cause it don`t make sense to me, just to see
Who`s the best you see
We got a lot of negativity, in the rap industry
Battling for superiority
Who`s the best? Who`s the worst?
Who`s the good, who`s the bad? I`m mad, listen up now!
[Chorus]
War - WAR!! Huh, good God y`all (C`mon now!)
What is it good for? (What?)
Absolutely nothing!
Say it again now (pump it up, pump it up, c`mon)
War! You MC`s listen (uhh)
What is it good for? Absolutely nothing! - yeah yeahh
[Verse Two: Rob Base]
This is secondary, tell me is it necessary
to battle another brother, hurry
Tell me the answer, I wanna know this
This ain`t war, this is showbusi-ness
Unless, I guess
You think, you`re the best, I won`t `fess
I`ll make peace, even though I`m strong
Another flow right along in a battle
[Chorus] w/ different ad libs
[Verse Three: Rob Base]
L-l-l-l-l-l-l-let`s talk about Hitler, a man with a sick mind
One of the threats of all mankind
He thought he was the best, the baddest
He`s dead, and I`m the gladdest
A lot of rappers, they get egoes
Like kings and queens, and all my heroes
But no, I`m not claimin no titles
Young kids, rappers they idols
I`m not a gangster, I don`t diss
A lot of rappers do and I`m pissed
Like Hitler, they wanna rule
But God`s the ruler you fool!
[Chorus] w/ different ad libs
[Rob] Listen up now!
{*scratched lines: MC`s, brag and boast, try to play post*}
[Chorus] w/ different ad libs
[Verse Four: Rob Base]
Now you`re the best, the baddest, the roughest, the toughest
Man, you ain`t sayin nothin
to me - cause I`m another MC
(Doin what?) Battlin for superiority
No! That ain`t true, I ain`t you
And I ain`t tryin to just knock you
I wanna get some peace and love and happiness
And things like those you can`t miss
Stand your ground, I ain`t saying be a punk
(Why not?) Cause if you do, your ship`ll get sunk
Cause this is war - no, this is showbusi-ness
So let`s get down to the bottom of this
[Chorus] w/ different ad libs
[Verse Five: Rob Base]
It`s funny, I don`t see Patti and Luther battlin
(Why?) It`s doesn`t matter and
All I wanna do, is make music
Throw it on so the people can use it
Rap is strong, word is bond, let`s go on
Let the dream live on, we`re movin
Like a jet - FAST
Remember they said it wouldn`t last
[Chorus] w/ different ad libs
{*scratched lines: MC`s, brag and boast, try to play post*}
[Chorus] w/ different ad libs - repeat 2.5X to sudden end
