Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got a funny feeling deep in my stomach
Ain't nobody laughing, ha ha ha, think the joke's on me
Feel it in my bones, feel it in my soul
Feel it in my spirit, no, I shouldn't put it all on me
Damned if I do, cancelled if I don't
Either way, I'm wrong, I'm just tryna get this weight off me
Didn't have a half so I took a quarter
Sippin' holy water while I listen to hypocrisy
[Verse 2]
There's a war going on outside
Nobody see it but me (But me)
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
There's a war going on outside
Nobody see it but me (But me)
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
[Verse 3]
Still don't watch the news, no, no, no
'Cause my **** ain't your **** so be careful what you say for views
Tried to talk about it, tried to walk around it
Trippin', now I'm drownin', and my aura got them ocean blues
Felt like I'm above it until it's my cousin
And I gotta tell his mama what I did not do
"Why weren't he with you?" Am I that removed?
Am I just confused? I don't make the rules, they make me
[Verse 4]
There's a war going on outside
Nobody see it but me (But me)
There's a war going on outside
Nobody see it but me (But me)
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
[Verse 5]
Ayy, the summer knows I put my hope in embers of the day
I was in a phase with the dargs dem
Nothing to communicate with everything to say
I can't be out here begging for pardons, nah
Me and Jigga saw a winner before we were asked if
We could bill a rhythm, we were questioning the answers
Even if it didn't drop it's something out of nothing
And watch me, I'll be out here regardless
I said I didn't need a reason
I'ma make a bit and catch a win before I'll sleep here
I'ma need some things out of this place, it made me need it
A penny for your thoughts or a pound for your thinking
(Wait, I'm thinking)
I'ma need some cheese here just to dip in
Just an have-not who had wants, then had a feeling, I could feel it
I could have everything that I didn't
I said I could have everything that I didn't, I didn't
[Verse 6]
There's a war going on outside
Nobody see it but me (But me)
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Ah, there's a war going on outside
No, nobody see it but me
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
[Verse 7]
No no no, no no no no
