Made For War
E.Town Concrete Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black clouds take hold like a pit bull when it locks it's jaws. Trouble always had a funny way of finding some kind of path into my life. I had to stand and fight. I won't run. I won't hide. I'll stand and fight.
Thought I told ya'll when I sang before, better get an umbrella when it rains it pours. We can bang 'cause I'm made for war. If I get knocked down then I'll aim for more.
Lash out like a rat in a corner, with it's back to the wall. Trouble always had a funny way of finding some kind of path into my life. I had to stand and fight. I won't run. I won't hide. I'll stand and fight.
Thought I told ya'll when I sang before, better get an umbrella when it rains it pours. We can bang 'cause I'm made for war. If I get knocked down then I'll aim for more.
I spit metaphors for them kids with the souls that's lost. We're here and we ain't fall off. Talking soft? Your shit gets tossed. You can never know how hard we fought.
Feels like I'm breaking down. Things have to turn around. I just can't take it. It feels like I'm breaking down. I just can't make it. And I pick myself off of the floor. I waited to fight some more.
Thought I told ya'll when I sang before, better get an umbrella when it rains it pours. We can bang 'cause I'm made for war. If I get knocked down then I'll aim for more.
I spit metaphors for them kids with the souls that's lost. We're here and we ain't fall off. Talking soft? Your shit gets tossed. You can never know how hard we fought.

This is such a meaningful song wish more people knew of them ... They make me think of my hustle and my grind and no matter how much dirt you get knocked in scrape your cuts and the dirt off you and get up and strive for more ... We are our limit

Thanks Antmoney for putting this album up. This album is almost as hard to find as Fury of five no reason to smile. I played with you guys @ the chance on this album. On time 2 shine we played with you my band Crionix or maybe Strep 9. We played a few shows with the great E town. You guys never got the credit they deserved. Second coming is 1_of my favorite albums of all time.

I love this song!

Anthony Battista

That's a very good question. I just hope I'm not forced to disable them. I still hang on to that glimmer of hope that there are a few intelligent people that can have an intelligent conversation without fighting over what genre this song is or who came first or who's more hardcore or who can beat up who's uncle.
