War

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, yeah) I'm sick of takin' this medicine Thinkin' to myself that I'm gonna get better again Bitch, 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
