Green Street - Art of War lyrics

Ft. Raekwon (Verse 1: A-live) I did errythin' that I said I would Just in case I neva had the time to (time to) Askin' God if ya got me in his plans (plans) In case things don't go as we planned to (planed to) I cheated d**h made it seem it neva happened (neva) Knew what I believed neva had it tatted (neva) What I was goin' thru ya couldn't fathom (neva) But when ya chasin' greatness none of that eva matters Set the pace my team watch our dreams come alive (yuh) Watched Soup make his move and Ren beat the odds (yuh) Neva planned to survive, we plan to arrive (vive) And what ya did in ten years we handled in five So watch what they all say now, I don't play what they all play now In this life I'mma neva lay down, treat the world like it's my playground, yeah! Had a foot in the grave no I neva cried When ya make sumthin' timeless ya could neva die! (Hook x2) It was all a dream, but I see it now Use to be the prince, now I want the crown Got the will to win, so it's goin' down (This is all I want) (Verse 2: Soupa) Aye, yo, peace and quiet, no speaking I need it silent Daemons in my dreams so I won't sleep or ease my eyelids I sick of always strivin' just for borderline survivin' I've been keepin' to myself like I've been in hidin' in confinement It's me and the family, vanity is causin' my insanity This is not the man I planned to be A dolla and a dream, a couple gran' is like a fantasy All is fair in war, I can't plan on people sparin' me, sh** This world is so cold, errybody plugged in, and ain't nobody got soul They don't know they on broke I'm doin' as I wanna do and not how I've been told And to me that more valuable than gold, if ya ain't know It's the will to keep winnin', the will to be different I'm stickin' to my vision even if nobody gets it I gotta use my voice even if nobody listen Cuz I know that they gon' hear me in a minute (Hook x2) It was all a dream, but I see it now Use to be the prince, now I want the crown Got the will to win, so it's goin' down (This is all I want) (Verse 3: Raekwon) A-1 kosher, the chrome roadster Son pulled up, heavy smacked flames out of his soldier He wasn't dressed right, no vest The war was supposed to pop, two weeks before the election This is stressin' the boss cuz he might take a big loss He used his voice to run the hood right, they shot up his who*es Lester was a well known investor, he lived in with Joyce Her brother was connected, pa, he poisoned Breakin' China, steppin' on gla** Juicy sweatsuits, her a** was lopsided, the b**h was just trash One seed, La'tone Naeem, fourteen, he would walk mean And grow up like the dad he neva had, poor thing No family morals, this is a small thing But one day, he would get large and ball like Spalding Take the hood by hood, I sat back and threw a couple j**els at him (Hook x2) It was all a dream, but I see it now Use to be the prince, now I want the crown Got the will to win, so it's goin' down (This is all I want)
