War(feat.Raye)

War (战争) (《一个国家的诞生》电影插曲) - Nas (奈斯)/Raye (蕾伊)

Raye：

Oh yeah yeah

Oh na na na uhm

Concrete bricks bullet proof vests

I'm proud of these walls that I built to defend

To protect this bold heart

This bold heart

But the way you marched into my home not

Army with the weapon and your arm not

Would be cold heart your cold heart

Nas：

I'm like Nat I'm like Nat

I'm a man of god but where is Christ at

And even though my name is Nas I am like Nat

Is this me declaring war white flags

I now know why I was even born

To strike back

A full moon up in the sky that's a sign that

It's time to get my liberation the perfect configuration

It's the birth of a nation men white and black

Mother father Caucasian

My blood Indian native

So now I'm contemplating being like Nat

Bout to show you what I'm made of

I'm what racists are afraid of

No mule and the 40 acres

And despite that

Watch out for the traitors

When they say make America great again do they mean make us all slaves again

Don't be sidetracked

Raye：

Is this you declaring war

No we will never wave the white flag the white flag

So you think I'm gonna run now

No the time has come to fight back to fight back

This is me declaring war war

This is me declaring war war

Nas：

Don't want to be a victim no more

Depicted as a criminal especially when you're poor

Why doesn't the government order capital punishment

To officers

Who racial profile and put slugs in us

Makes me think they want us extinct

On the brink of insanity

We screaming justice they sending tanks the man in me

Demand that we protect the family anarchy

Ku klux klan and him demand that he damage me

So my fantasy is every single one of us

Come against the evil divide the people it's common sense

The fury I hope the whole world hear me

No justice till I became a revolutionary

No matter if you're red white black

If you want freedom then we're all like Nat

Raye：

Is this you declaring war

No we will never wave the white flag the white flag

So you think I'm gonna run now

No the time has come to fight back to fight back
