Lyrics

War war war

Talkin' about y'alls such a bore

I'd rather talk about moi

Like do you know the cost of AK's up in Africa?

20 dollars ain't shit to you

But that's how much they are

So they're gonna use this shit just to get by


Is gold, diamonds helpin' ya?

Don't you like my bandana?

My stains hang low

On my shirts like a-ya-ya

Monkey brains and banana

I'll hit you with my antenna

I put soap in my eye

Make it red so I look raaa ra ra


So I woke up with my holy Qur'an and found out I like Allah-lah

So we shooting til the song is up

Little boys are acting up

Baby mamas are goin crazy

And the leaders all around cracking up

We goat rich, we fry

Price of living in a shanty town just seems very high

We still like T.I.

We still look fly

Dancing as we shooting up

And looting just to get by


With your feet on the air and your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it, yeah

Your head'll collapse when there's nothing in it

And you'll ask yourself:

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?


War war war

Who made me like this?

Was it me and God in co-production?

My devil's on speed dial

Everytime I take the wrong direction

All I want is one thing and that is what you got

Sometimes I go lose my mind and then I feel numb


There's 24 hours in a day

I used to split it 8, 8, 8

8 work, 8 sleep, 8 for play

Now I give it all takes


People on the Internet

A new life for the intellect

People judge me so hard

Coz I don't floss my titty set

I was born out of dirt like I'm porn in a skirt

I was a little girl who made good with all that I blurt

I put people on the map that never seen a map

I show 'em something they ain't ever seen

And hope they make it back


With your feet on the air and your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it, yeah

Your head'll collapse when there's nothing in it

And you'll ask yourself:

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?

Where is my mind?


With your feet on the air and your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it, yeah

Your head'll collapse when there's nothing in it

And you'll ask yourself:

Where is my mind?
