Lyrics

[Intro]

I might have a war within

I might have a war within

But I know I'm built to win

But I know I'm built to win

I might have a war within

I might have a war within

But I know I'm built to win

But I know I'm built to win

[Verse 1]

Step up in this motherfucker looking clean in this bitch

And the shit that's in my pocket camo green in this bitch

Keep it sharp just like a soldier, stayin' mean in this bitch

Yeah, I took a couple L's, but I redeemed in this bitch

Movin' like a general, I got a team in this bitch

Got the vision, got the hunger, got the scheme in this bitch

And the pressure made a diamond, now I gleam in this bitch

They was sleepin' on a **** let em dream in this bitch

I'm like Martin Luther King, I got a dream, ****

Catch me scrolling through the paper, not the screen, ****

Yeah, I made it out the mud I'm so pristine, ****

I know cash rules everything, I'm rocking cream, ****

Ain't no fatigue, ain't got no fear, ain't no retreating shit

I talked to God, but got a stick, okay, I'm keeping it

They say it's love, but when I bled, who I was bleeding with?

I want peace but if it's war, it's M16s and shit, ****

[Chorus]

It's a war outside, but I ain't hiding from it

Got that PTSD, it's got me wired from it

Whole world on fire, somebody frying something

Beat them enemy lines and now my pride is humming

[Verse 2]

You see, I got this war within

Pose like saint but live in sin

Need new tribe but no new friends

I want love but don't trust 'em

I got scars, don't rub it in

Leave that gym then I hit that gin

I know lust like next of kin

Ain't platonic, we fucking friends

Pray to God like free my soul

Mind can't rest, so I stay on go

Say I'm healed, but I still feel broke

Cut her off then I check my phone

Cried last night, but I play like strong

Need my space but I hate alone

Light is in me, dark to known

Wanna live like king but I feel dethroned

Survival tactics when it's shaky

Lift myself by bootstraps daily

Got dog tags, it made her hate me

Land of free, so why we slaving?

PTSD come in phases

Wasn't banging, truces hanging

General, I walk my cadence

My draft day, no registrations

[Chorus]

It's a war outside, but I ain't hiding from it

Got that PTSD, it's got me wired from it

Whole world on fire, somebody frying something

Beat them enemy lines and now my pride is humming
