War Lyrics - New Danger - Mos Def

War is a global economic phenomenon 

Ain't a batch of guns on where, hellfire 

Spittin', run up everything they hittin' 

Some do they job to dodge the barrage 

As sleek projectiles never stay bound 

Fire bite invades the night with light 

Loud, fighter planes shout shell rain 

When they shot to kill cops on the terrain 

And leave any brain that may remain stained 

You god damn right this war goin' too far 

Socialists think they converse with the stars 

Wars found, my find the beauty in the stars 

I level with death even beneath radar 

I level with death even beneath radar 

I level with death and she got pretty eyes 

Nobody told me death was so damn fine 

I go to sleep with that girl on my mind 

Wake up in a sea, I want to fire in line 

Grab my heat, then it's get down time 

One day I'ma make that girl all mine 

But for now I'm a soldier abidin' my time 

Writin' my rhyme behind enemy lines 

Palestine, Kosovo, Cashmere 

No different than the avenues right here 

An increase in the murder rate each year 

Paramilitary unit keep the streets clear 

Curtains up on the theater of warfare 

Dramatic politics nightly preformed here 

Worldwide from Colombia to Columbine 

Don holders keep ya dollar signs on the line 

"I don't want to rule or conquer anyone 

I should like to help everyone if possible 

Jew, gentile, black man, white 

We all want to help one another 

Human beings are like that 

We want to live by each other's happiness 

Not by each other's misery 

In this world, there's room for everyone 

And the good earth is rich 

And can provide for everyone a way of life" 

Fuck that 

You know the drill 

Fix ya face 

I'ma hustle off the hill 

Go get my money man 

Go get my money man 

See every hunter need to kill 

Go get my money man 

I'm old school from off the hill 

Go get my money man 

Go get my money man 

I give a fuck what I do 

Go get my money man 

Go get my money man 

Go get that money man 

Go get my money man 

Go get that money man 

Gimme my money man 

Gimme my money 

Fuck you, pay me 

Gimme the loot, Gimme the loot, Gimme the loot
