Loud is done the storm
That's how the crown and some perform
It's the new source system like the sun is born
And we get in a minute like the gange..
You say you're a groom but you're looking for the law
Grabbing for a course now looking for a pors
Radio poppin off better better off
Fuckin this feelin like fuckin the war
I don't really know what you're fighting it for
Why you really do when is fucking yourself
Take the cup back aside your bible belt
My bible felt across this planet
When I let it jet lag on the flag I plan it
Face-let by the moon never been the hot soon
Get high if you knew get hit the truth
Crolly no name..lazor major like the tip low too
Music it's few and we're running off..
I'ma visit your tune if you get to west suit
That consciousness been a nigga
Ain't ruggin it till you get beat with it get..
Self made nigag don't get discovered
Well paid nigga don't fit your..
I got a letter from the government the other day
I open and read it and said they was suck it
The devil wants me for his army or whatever
Picture me given dead I said never
I said never, I said never
I said never
War is overrated I see the sofa hatred
No hesitation we just go there's never no debating
We fighting over faith,
We fighting for masters when we know they races
When they looking for their help like we..davis
Yeah self preservation is the motivation
Every soldier and my squad my brother know there's no relation
They got my back in any education
That's why I fight for them and never throw the nation
Definitely for alliances that the science is the scrabin at
Violent aplaint to..is denial by nature the..become our makers
And made us become religious and vitamin of the hater
The politicians they checkin they vogue and gonna invade you
Crusaders of dark ages and matter of time chasin
Now cater but can't stop..shootin and call em by
Look em in the eye you see dollar sign
I got a letter from the government the other day
I open and read it and said they was suck it
The devil wants me for his army or whatever
Picture me given dead I said never
I said never, I said never
I said never, I said never
I said never hey, never hey never hey
