War

"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
