Nas - War lyrics
[Incomprehensible]
 There's a war in the streets tonight
 And nobody's really feelin' alright
 I got a blunt for my chronic, a juice for my tonic
 I know now that I'm feelin' right if it goes down
 'Cause my third eye sees the lowdown
 And I know it's not my time to go now
 'Cause God's got my back in this showdown
 So I know we'll be alright
 Yeah, Brooks Brothers overcoat, know the ropes
 Smooth is holdin' those briefcases, silk ties
 Slick as them older folks, silver fo'-fo', got no
 My chauffer driver just left, some of my colleagues smokin' that Cali
 Caught a glimpse of myself in the Barney's shop window
 Kinda' see my father's features creepin' in a little
 Got an office on Broadway, business in Jamaica
 Tell my daughter try the hardest so the best schools'll take her
 And I'm late to a date with my wife, I realize
 I stopped to shop, had to get her some type surprise
 And I'm walkin' through it, chaos is all around me
 But God got me, no fear, through the fire pride stop
 There's a war in the streets tonight
 And all this drama's got me feelin' uptight
 I don't know what I'll do if I don't see my boo
 'Cause she's standin' on the corner of Linden Boulevard
 Holding our baby in her arms
 So hold on, your daddy's in sight
 Yeah, nine four, Destiny opens her eyes
 For the first time, praise God, baby mom's cryin'
 Planned to be a strong black family
 But we both were too youngNas - War - http://motolyrics.com/nas/war-lyrics.html
 Too strung, too much flashin'
 New come, I caught verbal assassin runnin'
 With nothin' but the worst type, worst fight
 When we brought my baby home the first night
 Cursed like sailors, burst out the crib
 Ragin' in my new car bought from entertainment
 Champaign and gainin' clout fast, whiplash
 Did this bitch just pass in the club pugged up, stupid ass
 Grabbed her by the pony tail, never disrespect me
 I'm a street vet, regret the sex, but not Desi
 Moved back to your grandma
 I'm single, the land's mine
 She keeps the Benz, I'm all in the streets again
 Squeezin' the pen, released again, chart toppers
 Hard-bottoms blessed the feet
 Now less baby mom's problems
 New woman, she's great, this a different world
 Checkin' out my wife's chemistry with my little girl
 It's so amazin' playin', life is so crazy
 I've grown up the thankful for lessons God gave me
 There's a war in the streets tonight
 And nobody's really feelin' alright
 I got a blunt for my chronic, a juice for my tonic
 I know now that I'm feelin' right if it goes down
 'Cause my third eye sees the lowdown
 And I know it's not my time to go now
 'Cause God's got my back in this showdown
 So I know we'll be alright
 From the day [Incomprehensible] born
 Your daughter Destiny
 Was one of your destinations
