[Intro]

Some motherfuckers got it so easy

They never learn the hard way...

It's war you want

It's war you'll get

It's war you'll get!


[Verse 1]

Strike!

Caught in the crossfire

Your checkered past

Crack in the armor

Climb that ladder fast

It's come full circle

Clutching at comfort

Come with it, let's see

Just what you're down for


[Pre-Chorus]

Draw the lines in the sand

Give an inch, take a mile

Your grace walks hand in hand

With a venomous smile

You trade loyalty's hand

With applause and denial

You were soft with your plan

I was war with a smile


[Chorus]

You learn the hard way

Dug your own grave

Too littlе, too late

Now no one gets savеd

You learn the hard way

You dug your own grave

Too little, too late

Now no one gets saved


[Post-Chorus]

You learned the hard way

You learned the hard way

Now nothing gets saved


[Verse 2]

Karma's a whisper

Dressed in a laugh

Let's see you walk

This aftermath

Fangs in the framework

Debt in your grasp

Now we'll see

How long you last...


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Kill!

Strike...

Strike and kill!


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Draw the lines in the sand

Give an inch, take a mile

Your grace walks hand in hand

With a venomous smile

You trade loyalty's hand

With applause and denial

You were soft with your plan

I was war with a smile


[Pre-Chorus 3]

It's war you want

It's war (It's war)

You want (You want)

It's war you'll get!


[Chorus]

You learn the hard way

Dug your own grave

Too little, too late

Now no one gets saved

You learn the hard way

You dug your own grave

Too little, too late

Now no one gets saved


[Post-Chorus]

Strike and kill!

Strike and kill!

You learn the hard way

Now nothing gets saved

You learn the hard way (Strike and kill)

You learn the hard way (Strike and kill)

You learn the hard way


[Outro]

It's war you want

It's war you'll fucking get!

You'll fucking get! War...

You'll fucking get!
