My War
Nas Feat. Wu-Tang Clan Lyrics

I came straight up out them slums so I can't show a nigga pity
I come from poverty and cannot afford to be merciful to those who threaten my success.

And you gotta keep a gun cuz bitch it's war inside the city
It's necessary to possess firearms since there is ongoing conflict within our community.

Pack a draco wit a drum, you know my niggas love them titties
We equip ourselves with powerful firearms since we value our lives and want to protect our community.

Pay attention to this son, if you really fuckin' wit me
Listen up, if you're aligned with me, be prepared to engage in conflict.

Put the fries in the clip, pop out the whip, now bitch its bang time
Load the magazine with bullets, exit the vehicle, and let the violence begin.

Put it on my mother, for my brothers ima bang mine
I swear on my mother's life that I will protect and fight for my fellow gang members.

Choppas wit extensions, pussy boy we get them things flyin'
We equip ourselves with powerful automatic weapons and will use them to cause destruction.

I can't never lack, gotta be ready, niggas steady dyin'
I can never let my guard down and must constantly be prepared, as death is a constant risk.

I ain't gon say too much, a nigga speak on me then we gon stomp em out
I won't say much, but if someone threatens me, we will retaliate with violence.

Say you bout that action, nigga show me what you talkin' bout
If you claim to be violent, prove it to me.

You say you bout that action, nigga show me what you workin' wit
If you claim to be a threat, show me your weapons and fighting skills.

MG wit the F&N and bitch he put in work wit it
One of our gang members is skilled with a particular firearm and has used it in violent situations.

Bitch it's feds in the streets, they tryna give a nigga time
The police are present and trying to imprison gang members.

I'll take a nigga soul before I let him take mine
I will kill to protect myself.

Niggas dyin' over nothing, they won't let a nigga shine
People are senselessly dying, and others are preventing individuals from achieving success.

Pistol packin' bro, cuz this that shit that happen in the 9
We carry guns for protection since this type of violence is common in our community.

That's my dawg, my bro my bro
That's my close friend and loyal gang member.

You fuck with him, he blow, I blow
If someone threatens my friend, I will retaliate with violence.

We wit that shit, I know you know
We are involved in violent activities, and you are aware of it.

I smoke too much, can't think no more
I frequently consume drugs and my cognitive abilities have been affected.

I think too much, get out my head
I struggle with overthinking, and it impacts my mental well-being.

I watch my step, might end up dead
I am cautious since any misstep could result in my death.

I pop my pills, I take my med's
I consume medication to manage my mental health struggles.

I shoot to kill, get hit wit lead
I aim to kill when firing my weapon.

I got that blocka blocka
I possess powerful guns.

Know some shottas shottas
I associate with skilled shooters.

If a nigga talkin' down then we gon pop ya pop ya
If someone disrespects us, we will retaliate with violence.

We gon drop ya drop ya
We will defeat our enemies.

We gon do ya do ya
We will take violent action against our enemies.

I'll send you to your maker, hallelujah to ya
We will kill our enemies, and they will be judged by a higher power.

I'll send you to your maker, bet you learned your lesson
If we kill our enemies, they will have learned the consequences of opposing us.

Keep a choppa, and a draco, and a smith and wesson
We possess multiple powerful firearms for protection.

If you make it past 18, nigga that's a blessing
It is uncommon to survive past the age of 18 due to ongoing violence in our community.

If I get caught up in that jam just know I'm not confessing
If I am ever arrested, I will not admit to any crimes.

Bitch it's war in my city (Yeah yeah)
There is ongoing conflict within our community.

I can't take no more of my city (Yeah yeah)
I am struggling to tolerate the ongoing violence and turmoil in our community.

Tryna open doors for my city (Yeah yeah)
I am trying to create opportunities and success for our community.

I just hope the Lord can forgive me (Yeah yeah)
I may have committed violence in the past, and I hope to be forgiven for my actions.
