1
[Chorus]
2
There's a war in the streets tonight
3
And nobody's really feelin' alright
4
I got a blunt for a chronic, a juice for my tonic
5
I know now that I'm feelin' right if it goes down
6
'Cause my third eye sees the lowdown
7
And I know it's not my time to go now
8
'Cause God's got my back in this showdown
9
So I know we'll be alright
10
[Nas]
11
Yeah, Brooks Brothers overcoat, know the ropes, smooth is holdin' those
12
Briefcases, silk ties, slick as them older folks
13
Silver fo'-fo', got no,
14
My chauffeur driver just left some of my colleagues smokin' that Cali
15
Caught a glimpse of myself in the Barney's shop window
16
Kinda' see my father's features creepin' in a little
17
Got an office on Broadway, business in Jamaica
18
Tell my daughter try the hardest so the best schools'll take her
19
And I'm late to a dite with my wife, I realize
20
I stopped to shop, had to get her some type surprise
21
And I'm walkin' through it, chaos is all around me
22
But God got me, no fear, through the fire pride stop
23
[Chorus]
24
There's a war in the streets tonight
25
And all this drama's got me feelin' uptight
26
I don't know what I'll do if I don't see my boo
27
'Cause she's standin' on the corner of Linden Boulevard
28
Holding our baby in her baby in her arms
29
So hold on, your daddy's in sight
30
[Nas]
31
Yeah, Nine-four, Destiny opens her eyes
32
For the first time, praise God, baby mom's cryin'
33
Planned to be a strong black family
34
But we both were too young, too strung, too much flashin'
35
New come, I caught verbal assassin runnin' with
36
Nothin' but the worst type, worst fight
37
But we brought my baby home the first night
38
Cursed like sailors, burst out the crib
39
Ragin' in my new car bought from entertainment
40
Champaign and gainin' clout fast, whiplash
41
Did this bitch just pass in the club pugged up, stupid ass
42
Grabbed her by the pony tail, "never disrespect me"
43
I'm a street vet, regret the sex, but not Desi
44
Moved back to your grandma, I'm single, the land's mine
45
She keeps the Benz, I'm all in the streets again
46
Squeezin' the pen, released again, chart toppers,
47
Hard-bottoms blessed the feet, now less baby mom's problems
48
New woman, she's great, this a different world,
49
Checkin' out my wife's chemistry with my little girl
50
It's so amazin' playin', life is so crazy
51
I've grown up the thankful for lessons God gave me
52
[Chorus]
53
There's a war in the streets tonight
54
And nobody's really feelin' alright
55
I got a blunt for a chronic, a juice for my tonic
56
I know now that I'm feelin' right if it goes down
57
'Cause my third eye sees the lowdown
58
And I know it's not my time to go now
59
'Cause God's got my back in this showdown
60
So I know we'll be alright
