War Is Necessary - Nas

War is necessary

War brings pain

But war is necessary

War brings peace

Cause war is necessary

Getcha warriors up

Cause my niggas are war ready

War brings hate

(Esco let’s go let’s go let’s go)

War is necessary

War brings pain

(Esco let’s go)

Getcha warriors up

Cause my niggas are war ready

My niggas war ready

Staring at the face of my watch, its like a crystal ball

With the ability to make the issue stall

I told my man duck, cause I know where the missile fall

Cause the ice is a fortune teller for the rich or small

Went to my man’s crib who dead and saw his picture fall

I picked it up, his voice whispered nigga ball

So I smoke the finest, (85 for the ocean liners?)

I do it for the have-nots I’m at spots

That resembles screen savers on ya lap tops

And they cant believe it like seeing that nigga Zab drop

I be in Cameroon bandanas on silk Dior

Sip cream liqueur, green and blue FLIA velour’s suits

Boss smooth, the only thing I endorse duke

Stash houses, gamble, I don’t sweat a lawsuit

All true in living god we was here first

Parisian linen garb and cashmere shirts

Who’s crew was realist?

Shot up the movie theaters

Time square, 88 who’s crew was in it

(Photographed was?) sittin on wood wicker chairs

40oz in the lap, givin off wicked stares

Punch out kings, bustin pistols in the air

Hangin out a Cutlass Supreme window like «bitch come here»

Girls cussin back at us with the fattest asses

Like «who you callin bitch little black bastards»

We had to wave the flag, here come they baby dad

Drug dealers in the crazy jag looking crazy mad

They all thought they was sparkle, fucking killer men

But we was all black seeds as Fred Williamson

It was so simple.

Now I’m refelctin in this gold Enzo

Face it, my favorite trinket was that Teddy riley guy bracelet

So now its fly shit I’m draped in. Customized shit I’m makin
