WAR - Phix/Call Me Karizma
Lyrics by:Morgan Parriott/Mason Davis
Composed by:Curtis Martin/Matthew Bathon
I'm in the trenches
I got my defenses up
I load all my weapons yeah
I'm aimin' at everyone
Ain't no stars in Hollywood
Every night is dark as hell
Demons always on the prowl
Lookin' for a soul to sell
But I'm a soldier yeah
Bullets 'round my shoulder strapped
If I make it out I'm never going back
Battle from my heart like ooh-oh
It's me against the dark side ooh-oh
I'm payin' such a high price livin' in the limelight
It's a war yeah
But I'll fight for every inch
I'd die before I quit like ooh-oh
It's a war yeah
But I'll fight for every inch
I'd die before I quit like ooh-oh
It's a war
It's a war
I'm sick of takin' this medicine
Thinkin' to myself that I'm gonna get better again
***** how could this be competitive
When these other rappers know that I'm better than them
There ain't nobody I'm positive
That could be better than me that's a negative friend
Even the thought of me comin' back to rap
Will have you never make your records again
But be careful that the state that my head is in
Or you might end up in a grave with the skeletons
It's like you beggin' on your knees to let the devil in
You play with fire and you'll never win
You can run but can't escape me
I won't budge you cannot break me
You can try but you won't take me alive
You can try but you won't take me alive
But I'll fight for every inch
I'd die before I quit like ooh-oh
It's a war yeah
But I'll fight for every inch
I'd die before I quit like ooh-oh
It's a war
It's a war
Battle from my heart like ooh-oh
It's me against the dark side ooh-oh
I'm payin' such a high price livin' in the limelight
It's a war yeah
