War Rats
Cappadonna Lyrics

Less seen and less heard, It's the pillage
Our community is often overlooked and ignored, but we are fighting back with all the strength we have.

Live where we die for trade, orphans of the industry, rise up against
We are forced to work under dangerous conditions and treated like expendable tools by an industry that doesn't care about us, but we will not accept this and are standing up for our rights.

Pretense, DJ's of segregation come together plottin' on the Nation
Those who are supposed to bring people together are instead dividing us, and we will not let them succeed.

Cats got the puff powder dance
People are distracted by superficial things and not paying attention to the real issues affecting our community.

Underground economics, take a chance at the crackpot
We are resorting to illicit activities to survive because the system has failed us.

Speak at the ones on top
We are speaking truth to power and holding those in charge accountable for their actions.

At the gay bar your best rap star caught not keepin' it real
Even those who claim to represent us can be hypocrites and betray us for their own gain.

What's the deal wit' ya'll want to be MC's when Ghost hit you
We need to stop fighting amongst ourselves and support each other as a community.

The struggle is official with this
Our struggles are real and we will not be silenced.

Chill 'cause we don't mix wit' why'all uncle Tomers
We have no patience for those who sell out their own people for personal gain.

We rock those real black leather bombers
We are proud of our unique sense of style and culture.

For real, Park Hill not Beverly Hills
We come from a different world, and we are proud of our roots.

Ya'll better be still
We are not to be underestimated or ignored.

My brains come out of my ball pen for my origin
My creativity and inspiration come from my personal experiences and struggles.

I put the work in, any predicament
I am willing to do whatever it takes to succeed and help my community.

In fact it don't matter to me
I am dedicated to the cause and will not give up, no matter what.

The rap Oprah Winfrey with less currency
I am using my platform to spread important messages and ideas despite not having the same resources as some others.

But rock beautifully, no security with me
I am proud of who I am and will not compromise my values for anyone. I am willing to take risks and stand up for what I believe in.

Hard times and prophecy
We are facing difficult challenges, but we are also fighting for a better future.

One idea, two children and three for virginity
We must protect our children and our values as we fight for our rights and freedom.

Pure energy whenever you confront me
I am filled with passion and determination when it comes to standing up for what I believe in.

I'ma take yours, star wars.
We will not back down and will fight for what is rightfully ours, just like in a battle.

The tables turned now, enter Shaolin where it's cold now
We are no longer the ones being oppressed, and we are ready to fight back and claim what is ours.

Let the Teck blow now
We are ready to take action and fight back.

More Jungle nails, Parkhillbillies pour gas on Phillies
We are prepared to take whatever measures necessary to protect ourselves and our community.

Blocks where the Babies pick locks
Our community is facing extreme poverty and danger, and we must work together to survive and thrive.

And Women make love to other Women
We are an open-minded and accepting community that respects everyone's choices and lifestyle.

It's the pillage, your Mother's Sons
We are united as a community and will not be divided or controlled.

No more cold war, it be the poor ones
We are done with being oppressed and are ready to fight back for our rights.

No radio play, from the hallway to the doorway
Our voices are not being heard by mainstream media and we are taking matters into our own hands.

They banned us, cease to understand us
Those in power are trying to suppress our message and ignore our struggles.

Rap criminals segregated, player hated
We are being targeted and punished for expressing ourselves through our music.

Underrated, project recipients
Our talent and contributions are being overlooked and undervalued.

Cappadonna, bag with the marijuana
My music is rooted in my personal experiences and struggles with drugs and addiction.

I'm a late-comer, I spread love last Summer
I may have arrived to the scene later than others, but I am committed to spreading positivity and love through my music.

Photographs with the Hummer
I have achieved success and am proud of my accomplishments.

A young dumber, bound to get dumber
Despite my youth and inexperience, I am committed to learning and growing as an artist and person.

I speak the real CB, pillage monopoly
I am speaking truth and fighting against those who seek to maintain their control and power over us.

Talk a XYZ, ain't nothin' like WB
We have our own unique culture and approach, and will not conform to mainstream expectations and standards.

O.T.F., a bag of Uno Sixty
Our community is united and strong, and we will not be silenced or intimidated by those in power.

I love how the weed get me
Marijuana has helped me cope with my struggles and find comfort in difficult times.

See me whole style tricky
I am proud of my unique style and approach to music.

Gats under the table, the tables turn now
We are prepared to take action and use any means necessary to protect ourselves and our community.

Life is too short and too foul
Our lives are filled with difficult challenges and hardships, and we must fight back in order to survive and thrive.

Fake Brothers will get exiled
We will not tolerate those who betray their own community or values for personal gain.

Staten Island style, chicka-Pow!
We are proud of who we are as a community and will stand up for ourselves with all the strength we have.

I drop paragraphs of information
My music is filled with important messages and ideas that seek to inspire and educate.

My mind starts racin'
I am passionate and driven to succeed.

I'm in the lot dancin' with the hard-headed
I am surrounded by like-minded individuals who are dedicated to the cause.

I start to attack on every track when I react
I am not afraid to speak my mind and stand up for what I believe in.

Dancehall style, ain't nothin' nice
We are not afraid to be bold and unconventional in our approach.

I came to regulate, Cappachino the great
I am determined to make a difference and leave a positive impact on my community.

Comin' from all sorts of angles
We are a diverse and varied community, but we are united in our struggles and aspirations.

I close in, my team be the chosen
I am surrounded by a supportive and dedicated team that is ready to stand with me through thick and thin.

Authorized like a hat tucked in
We are legitimate and validated in our cause, and will not be silenced or undermined.

You get sucked in, catch a repercussion and crushed in
Those who seek to oppose us will feel the full force of our determination and strength.

Paralyzed, open your eyes, it's us again
Those who oppose us will be unable to move or react to our power and strength, and will be forced to acknowledge our presence and determination.

O.T.F. hit you like the blow of death
We are an unstoppable force that will not be stopped or defeated by any means.

Pulled while you was 'sleep
We are taking action when others may not even realize what is happening.

With or without the gold teeth
We do not need material possessions to prove our worth or power.

Crunch and lounge, Q guardin' the door
We are prepared for anything and will defend ourselves and our community with all the strength we have.

It's like Comstock, we in the Belly similar to clock
We are out of sync with mainstream society, but we are still moving forward and keeping time in our own way.

Boys to Men buildin', in the street
We are working to build a better future for ourselves and our community, even in the face of extreme challenges.

Oatmeal and Cream of Wheat
We may have little, but we are still able to find comfort and sustenance.

Thugs smoke leek, it's like the penile in the ghetto
We may not have access to traditional sources of comfort or relief, but we are still finding a way to survive and thrive within our community.

Palmetto, chocolate trees, crying Babies
Our community is rich in culture and heritage, despite facing extreme challenges and hardships.

Rabies to the ringworm, take a turn and get burned
Those who seek to cross us or oppose us will face the consequences of their actions.

Tryin' to be this, realness
We are not trying to be anyone else or conform to mainstream expectations - we are proud of who we are and will not back down.

Shaolin barracks is very high tempered
We are a fierce and determined community that will not be silenced or undermined.

Sensed it in the water surrounded by the fairy boats
We are attuned to the world around us and are constantly seeking to adapt and overcome new challenges.

Hallways with pussy cut throats
Our community is full of danger and hardship, but we are still committed to fighting back and protecting our own.

We forever live, gotta protect the orphanage
Our community is family and we will do whatever it takes to protect each other and our future.

The beast men, learn to fight back with the policemen
We are facing an uphill battle against those in power, but we are not afraid to stand up for ourselves and fight back.

Star Wars, Star Wars.
Our struggle is like a battle, and we will not be defeated or silenced.
