In A War [Prod. by Spence Mills]
[Chorus]
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one’s laughing at God when it’s gotten real late and their kid’s not back from the party yet
[Verse 1: Lefty]
I'm stuck in a war with myself, I don't know what to do
Either way I move, there's no way I can win or lose
It's like I'm just a pawn in a game full of rooks
Surrounded by crooks, I don't even know which way to look
Or Which way I took, to have ended up here
I'm between rocks and a hard place as it appears
Who gives a fuck here? No one left to call a friend
It's me and myself here, there's no more need to pretend
Like I got a soul I can spill my mind to
Just gotta keep moving, continue to fight through
But as I fight I'm only killing me inside
Every punch I throw is literally eating me alive
But I can't stop, I was raised to put my all in
In a war, against the world, gotta keep smiling
I got a plan for success, no Joseph Stalin
Consisting of being with you, on an Island
[Chorus]
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door and they say we got some bad news, sir
No one’s laughing at God when there’s a famine or fire or flood
But God can be funny
[Verse 2: Lefty]
The war keeps raging, lives being taken
Not a soul cares unless they were famous
Innocent people getting slaughtered on the daily
And millions of others continue to be caged in
Cause they were craving what's on the stations
Television glamorizes the dark world of Satan
All that's on speaks of drugs and violence
And the teens get brainwashed, play them the violins
They don't care, they just want the iron cents
And then they wonder why the public lacks common sense
All they see is what you air and what the comment says
Free The Robots, listen to what Jamaal said
But they don't listen, they just hear with closed ears
And parents with choked tears wonder why worst fears
Came true, they thought they had the perfect child
Civil at home but elsewhere he was acting wild
[Chorus]
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one's laughing at God in a hospital
No one’s laughing at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very poor
[Verse 3: Lefty]
No one laughs at God once they need him
Quickly repenting for failure to believe in
The Almighty and conversing with demons
Thinking its too late, God will not see them
But the truth is he helps anytime you need it
Cause he is not evil, no matter if you think it
So while you're sitting there laughing at the ones devoted
Just know that one day you will be there hoping
He forgives because you took it as a joke then
And I hope it helps you realize that he was open
The whole time, accepting new and old
And you ain't know, about all his miracles
But personally, I've seen the works in progress
In a war against the darkness, I must confess
My sins, cause I have done the unforgiven
Lord forgive me, please admit me for a higher living
Ill do your bidding
[Chorus]
No one laughs at God when their airplane starts to uncontrollably shake
No one’s laughing at God when they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else and they hope that they’re mistaken
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door and they say we got some bad news, sir
No one’s laughing at God when there’s a famine or fire or flood
But God can be funny
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
Ha ha
Ha ha
