Lyrics

War is necessary, war brings pain
But war is necessary, war brings peace (what's it is)
'Cause war is necessary, get ya warriors up
'Cause my **** are war ready
War brings hate (Esco let's go let's go let's go)
'Cause war is necessary, war brings pain (Esco let's go)
Get ya warriors up
'Cause my **** are war ready
My **** war ready
Staring at the face of my watch, it's like a crystal ball
With the ability to make the issue stall
I told my man duck, 'cause I know where the missile fall
'Cause the ice is a fortune teller for the rich or small
Went to my man's crib who dead and saw his picture fall
I picked it up, his voice whispered, "****, ball!"
So I smoke the finest, 85 for the ocean liners?
I do it for the have-nots, I'm at spots
That resembles screen savers on your laptops
And **** can't believe it like seeing that **** Zab drop
I be in Cameroon, bandanas on silk Dior
Sip cream liqueur, green and blue FILA velour's suits
Boss smooth, the only thing I endorse duke
Stash houses, gamble, I don't sweat a lawsuit
All true in living God, we was here first
Parisian linen garb and cashmere shirts
War is necessary, war brings pain
But war is necessary, war brings peace
'Cause war is necessary, get ya warriors up
'Cause my **** are war ready
War brings hate (Esco let's go let's go let's go)
'Cause war is necessary, war brings peace
'Cause war is necessary, war brings pain
The war is necessary, get ya warriors up
'Cause my **** are war ready, uh
My **** war ready
Whose crew was realist? Shot up the movie theaters?
Times Square '88, whose crew was in it?
Photographed, was sittin' on wood wicker chairs
40 ounce in the lap, givin' off wicked stares
Punch out kings, bustin' pistols in the air
Hangin' out a Cutlass Supreme window like, "Bitch, come here"
Girls cussin' back at us with the fattest asses
Like, "Who you callin' bitch little black bastards?"
We had to wave the flag, here come they baby dad
Drug dealers in the crazy Jag looking crazy mad
They all thought they was sparkle, fucking killer men
But we was all black seeds as Fred Williamson
It was so simple, now I'm reflectin' in this gold Enzo
Face it, my favorite trinket was that Teddy Riley guy bracelet
So now it's fly shit I'm draped in, customized shit I'm makin'
War is necessary, war brings pain
War is necessary, war brings peace (what's it is)
'Cause war is necessary, get ya warriors up
'Cause my **** are war ready
War brings hate (Esco let's go let's go let's go)
'Cause war is necessary, war brings peace
'Cause war is necessary, war brings pain
The war is necessary, get ya warriors up
'Cause my **** are war ready, uh
My **** war ready
