War - Rexx Life Raj

War - Rexx Life Raj Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Actin' like they don't, yeah
It's a war outside, yeah
Am I the only that nigga that—
Ayy, look

[Verse 1]
I was with my day ones runnin' until we was playin' D1
Hoppin' on that shuttle then shuttle to get my speed up
Young niggas fakin' 'bout that street shit go outside and get beat up
He had no hands so he grabbed the heater (Yeah)
That's how life fly on this side
And I ain't in your business if you ain't in mine
My mama hit me with that holy water early
She prayed for me and it helped surely
I know there gotta be a God with how crazy this world be
Maybe there isn't, maybe he just stop and visit
That's that free will isn't it? I guess you move how you wanna move
But how my niggas move?
I just be prayin' that my niggas smooth
Another nigga shot dead on KTVU
Mama asked if I know him, was she watchin' the evening news?
Even if I do, what can niggas do? Where can niggas hide? It's a war outside

[Chorus]
It's a war outside (It's a war outside)
And everybody actin' like they don't see it (They don't), yeah
It's a war outside (It's a war outside)
Don't know why (Don't know why), believe that (Believe that), damn, look, uh
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I'm thinkin' I'm crazy off the shit I ponder
Journey of a million miles when my mind wander
We wasn't born into a million dollars, I had niggas puttin' P's in a Honda
The niggas that went to college was the first to go to college
In they family, celebrated like we won a Grammy
Where I'm from a diploma'll make a nigga happy
Remember lookin' at my granny years 'fore I made it
I gave my mama and hug and went out and got faded (Yeah)
Luckily I was one of the ones who made it
A lotta homies didn't and then made me hate it
How was I so lucky? It's a dice roll
I saw Devin in a casket with his eyes closed
I see niggas walkin' 'round with a blindfold
I hope I get a call from Funk on my iPhone
I know what you really high with that ice on
But you can't duck the truth anytime you turn the lights on
Facts, it's ten times harder when you black (Yeah)
Thought we only felt it on the state side
Chopped up it up with Koji, he from London on the same vibe
Luckily out there they ain't got guns so they can't slide
Try to ban the guns over here, there'd be a civil war
If you let 'em tell it to you, everyone your enemy
Put the kid on Ritalin, he just got hella energy
Damn, uh, I know we're all crazy, I see the truth (Yeah)
Just look at your IG and see the proof
Nothin' really matters right now
Attention's the new cash right now (Fuck)
And I'm watching people cash out and crash out
[Chorus]
It's a war outside, yeah (It's a war outside)
And everybody actin' like they don't see it (They don't), yeah (See it)
It's a war outside (It's a war outside)
Don't know why (Don't know why), believe that (Believe that), damn

[Outro]
It's a war outside
Don't know why, believe that, damn
