about

Imagine living in a warzone...

lyrics

it's life in the battlefield for sure,
but it's a difficult truth to acknowledge.
still, we never feel safe when we asleep, huh?

i always worry when i'm snoring i'm defenseless
like i'll be cornered and run up on by my enemies henchmen
and i'll be thrown up in the pen forever
they'll make me wish that i had never picked this pencil up and wrote this scripture
i woke up this morning to rain pouring through the trench again
i started bailing out my bed before i had my breakfast
damn right, i'm ornery, conditions here is worse than hell
just when they ring the warning bell,
i detect the smell of smoking lime
then i'm blinded by the mortar shells
with just my rifle by my side i die up on the hill
it's like my plans were never finalized, i fought and failed
spent my whole life tryna not get shot and killed
but said, let me get the paper first
i ain't making major changes on my way to work
if everybody stays complacent
how can we reverse the war that we're waging
on ourselves and the planet earth?

that's what we say to ourselves day in and day out.
we live our lives in the battlefield but,
it's a difficult to truth to acknowledge...
but that ain't let us off the hook.
