Rashad & Confidence - Rumors Of War lyrics

[Verse 1] Yeah, read the headlines, it's another dramatic episode That's what we face daily living on this reckless globe My pen explodes just writing about these present days Losing optimism, thinking things'll never change And the streets on fire, always in an endless blaze From gun for gun combat where plenty lead exchange Soon as the metal sprays innocents get sent to graves Based on any cause, from money to a jealous rage Or maybe orders a presidential directive gave To put a head out on enemies forming a domestic A world consumed in violence and always infested By men blood-shed, it's just another norm accepted Nation overseas war-torn and neglected While people mourn the loss of those the coroners inspected Call the president, for what, it's all evident He'd rather promote war stead of resolve war preventing [Hook] I got a future on my mind, as I'm staring at the atlas Who knows what tomorrow brings, I'm searching for the answers The good days are gone now, it's obvious and quite clear That the American dream is now a nightmare And nothing is sure, but at the end I will win And as regardless to the fact that the projection is grand The revolution won't be heard if the records don't spin So tell the DJ play it over, again and again [Verse 2] Ayo, reality is harsh enough to make you want to take the bottle And pour the liquor out to wash away the pain and sorrow Fighting with time ‘cause it seems to be my greatest rival But by the looks of things who knows what I'mma face tomorrow Judging of the direction the world is spinning in Living on a land has been cursed since the beginning when Eve bit the fruit from the serpent that was slithering We went from purposeful living, attending church to the terrors from sinning Now we all about chasing papes, worshipping fur and Timbalands Young teens is only concerned with earning Benjamins Instead of being intellect, swell-learned and disciplined Brainwashed by media through co-worker conditioning Politicians work behind the scenes, I heard ‘em whispering Jotting up plans to put the world in imprisonment No time to sleep, you better stay alert to how the system is And end up as a casualty [Hook] [Verse 3] Yo, people buried alive from financial collapses Purposely designed just to deprive the ma**es The rich eat good while we starve for the rations Work hard, while they commit frauds and live lavish Casualties of wall street from stock market crashes The wicked prosper while we suffer, it's all backwards Young troops fighting abroad, taking chances Putting they lives to risk and being blown to ashes All they wanted was scholarships to pay for cla**es But in return they got sent back home in caskets Wrapped in American flags, it's type tragic Lives shattered over many lives crafted But politicians want to see their dollars expanding Corruption running wild they ramping on the hostile planet So I prepare for the worst with the time I've been granted Shedding light on those who wasn't wise enough to grasp it [Hook]
