Lyrics At War - Ace Hood

At War

So these days every clip is coming fully loaded
Can’t take no chances 'cause this world done got me claustrophobic
The government gone play they hand but they gon' sugarcoat it
But cops beating up the ones who got they freedom stolen
I see the pain in all them people I can’t help but notice
My granny said them heavy pressures ain’t for us to tote it
Give it to God, you know I’m trying but some of my thoughts corroded
Sometimes I wanna say just fuck it all I need a moment
I know you pray I don’t succeed some people waiting on it
But as I walk through the valley in the shadow and death
Know every weapon formed against me was the test to myself
If some may never do a thing but the intention was there
Pray for Haiti
I been on this journey alone, I know nobody gon' save me
I can never fell in the fears the people living in daily
White man swinging a switch style that image is crazy
like in slavery
When my ancestors showed us what was bravery
Keep an army, like the navy
Go out busting if I must protect the babies
I ain’t gon' lie before I start this shit here too dramatic
So many people gone in seconds from this covid action
And these days I’m feeling lower than my normal fashion
If I’m not aligning with my purpose I’m not fully happy
I get this shit here from a source and you can’t mirror match it
Ain’t nothing realer than me healing up this mental damage
Everyone vanished, I didn’t panic, just up the standards
Without the hype of major label still did heavy traction
Did all that capping 'bout your album shit was barely average
I like my income when it’s passive and my life lavish
That loyalty went out the window once the took advantage
I ain’t gon' lie, was on my barely manage
My independent plate bigger than my last palate
Living on my practice on some private island
Really I’m breathing and chakra aligning
Pray for Haiti
I been on this journey alone, I know nobody gon' save me
I can never fell in the fears the people living in daily
White man swinging a switch style that image is crazy
Pray for Haiti
