"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 x2.5 to sudden end: w/ different ad libs]
