Tech N9ne - This Is War Lyrics

This is war, pick your sides, know your stance
This is war, no telling how the story ends
This is a fallout, everybody get down
Stay out of our way (out of our way)
This ain't a nice song, no telling where we might go
We've heightened the stakes

You wishing death upon us?
Better get ready with a vest and invest in enough
Protection to lessen nuclear fallout, go cry for mama
You wanted war 'til you on the floor tryna hide from bombing
Kamikazes fly supersonic right through the Eiffel Tower

President Donny killed Soleimani so now Iran's a problem
Going Nagasaki, atomics dropping on Abu Dhabi
Twenty million bodies and five tsunamis arrive in Holland
Few survived alive, now the radiation is sure to follow

All the bombing is now underway
How you gonna save yourself? Y'all better pray
Y'all gotta stay down in the basement or hallway closet
Otherwise die in the flames

A lot of atomic waste concentrated in Metropolis
Watch as the hospital rates sky rockets to thousands of patients
Nuke radiation becoming too dangerous
No, this ain't Tinder but I swipe left at you with a knife, in fact

Striking your back with a whole Viking axe
Tell Tech that it's time for the fire
Let me get a funnel attachment run up and siphon the gas
Douse it around then we go light the match
Igniting that like Iraq where Isis was fighting at

Whole world 'bout to end so soon
Kim Jong-un getting pissed at you
Send a big frickin' nuke to America to hit your roof
In instant blew like flipping a fuse
Incinerating kids in school principal said it was miserable
Missiles are dropping in Israel, Germany, London and Istanbul

Not Godzilla but an ominous monster's still upon us
Planet was hit with a comet, economy crashing
Poverty, wobbly plate tectonics shifting a lot
How could it not be the apocalypse?
Probably got to be causing a lot of the death that we see
When we turn on our screens every night
And we're watching the news up on our TV

Forcibly, torture these
Enemies give 'em deformities
Waterboard 'em 'til they orally tell us a story
Sick and stick 'em up in quarantine
There's not a hint of remorse in me
Cold to my core feels like only in war do I ever find normalcy
Like on the beaches of Normandy
Live by the sword, I'ma die when I'm forty-three

Together with Tech and I
We met up and electrify the record every time that we etch a rhyme
I reckon they recognize, never gonna rise to my level
I'm five times better with the pen when spraying venom
'Bout to end 'em when I get 'em in the center of the scope, doot-doot
Let a round off broken through open, a wound there ain't no hope for you

Yeah, I think I'm 'bout to kill a motherf*cker with a gun
You better get to running like you were a sprinter
'Bouta hit 'em in the ligament and ankle bullet ricocheting
Thinking I may intimidate a witness, never give into the pressure
When they interview 'em, bet they won't admit
I'm finna run up, shoot a bullet from the hip, pull up on the strip
Hit 'em with the lead and put a body in the ditch
Other words, GAWNE and Tech just murdered this shit

I can smell the smoke from Hell, it's right in the middle of us
Everybody wanna fight and they givin' no f*cks
When they do it on sight wit' a gun or wit' a knife
Ain't even a bit of light, when you're living in dusk
In the mind, why they gotta be stuck?
The crime when you wanna go bustin' the .9
Never have no trust in your kind
And you're really unjust

How do they storm the Capitol? (Cha)
It's a war in the back of your forum
The horns attackin' mo' torn the radicals (cha)
Never happen to mourn the scorned and born wit' a lack of dough (cha)
Just like them (cha), when I think about it all it's quite dim (cha)
Everything is really raw like a fright film (cha)
If you ready for the brawl, come and try grim (cha)

At a level where the people wanna load up what they got and get it poppin'
If he thinking 'bout the hood he better never come a knockin'
They don't ever wanna take it to the B or the C zone (cha)
We home nigga we got the heat on (cha)
All the energy is separation, togetherness never was the motivation
Evil has really been sweeping the nation
Because it was never no communication (cha)

In a war the believers of Jesus, wanna make you bleed, it's egregious
Shoulda had their fetus deleted, but the parents skeet is completed
So now we stuck wit' the crazy, pushin' a lotta negative up in the babies
What the f*ck they doin' snuffin' the ladies?
Killin' globally it's buckin' in Haiti (cha)

This is (war) what are the fake well wishes (for?)
Even the saint sell sickness, rank fell vicious
Bank swell quick as (whores) (cha)
Can't nobody be calm in the midst of Hell
So I lit this bomb wit' the quickness
Yell wit' the lip, it's 'Nam and it's on
You don't wanna go to war with Tech N9na and GAWNE

This is war, pick your sides, know your stance
This is war, no telling how the story ends
This is a fallout, everybody get down
Stay out of our way (out of our way)
This ain't a nice song, no telling where we might go
We've heightened the stakes

(Pendo)
