| The other day i had put my daughter time out Only a year and she is taking over
|
| my house, Yeah
|
| And as funny as that seems
|
| We got a generation where fathers are not seen So
|
| (Uh oh)
|
| We are at war
|
| And the bullet is in my heart cause I’ve been there before
|
| (Uh oh)
|
| To my nieces and my nephews… While our brothers are in the trench theres
|
| refuge Because
|
| I know that people are alarmed when a city is arms and we All need rescue
|
| If we could only elevate
|
| To a higher land
|
| Then, we could all have the best view
|
| There’s a war on peace, in the streets
|
| They’re strung out so the city never sleeps
|
| They counting sheep. |
| Waiting for the Shepard to come. |
| There’s a war,
|
| there’s a war, there’s a war
|
| There’s a war, there’s a war, there’s a war
|
| Thinking back to the days they were on the brink Three little kids looking for
|
| the missing link Everyday they felt the sound and the fury
|
| All felt lost and bound but in a hurry
|
| So… The oldest had a talk with his mom and she said Papi ain’t deceased but
|
| he’s still dead
|
| Yep, and he’d be lying if he didn’t say
|
| It didn’t leave a part of him in disarray
|
| Fast forward a decade and a half
|
| They’re self made and married it’s a blessing and half… Sometimes we all feel
|
| the war inside
|
| And sometimes we fall but there’s more inside
|
| Isn’t it true of us all
|
| We trip and get shaken
|
| Losing sight of the call
|
| You see we’re all in the trenches
|
| There’s a war on peace did I mention?
|
| There’s a war on peace, in the streets
|
| They’re strung out so the city never sleeps
|
| They counting sheep. |
| Waiting for the Shepard to come. |
| There’s a war,
|
| there’s a war, there’s a war
|
| There’s a war, there’s a war, there’s a war
|
| Where all my ladies at? |
| We gotta stand strong We gotta hold it together Cause
|
| we the back bone I know it gets hard
|
