[Intro]
Yeah
You wanna know why they call me Formerly?
Cause I don’t fit in with the trends
I’m on my own shit
You can only refer to me in the past
Cause what I’m on right now is already beyond you
But I'll save that for another time
Yeah
[Hook]
If this is a war I’m locked in
Score bangers on beats like top bins
Can’t step near me like toxins
Make more money no need to clock in
If this is a war I’m locked in
Score bangers on beats like top bins
Can’t step near me like toxins
Make more money no need to clock in
[Verse 1]
First rule when you come to the stu
No more lame shit, best keep pace with it
When I leave I’ll be back in a few
Best act right you best be patient
Next off I don’t fuck with the same bitch
I’m a prize won’t see me chasing
And I won’t even call me a savage
I just don’t be nice embrace it
If you send me files erase it
Can’t see your cries need lasik
Truth is I don’t deal with basic
Take it home like I’m running bases
Crack your dome like antique vases
Go for the throne you be complacent
Never have to ask to receive my praises
Tryna get a new look, turning pages
Truth told I've been through phases
Never wanna work for minimal wages
Every night I see new faces
Brand new city, brand new stages
Keep you in line like braces
Never have to show my face like agents
Subdued when I need my payments
Time’s up ain’t got no more patience
[Interlude]
We at a fucking war out here
Some of it's within ourselves
But some of it is very, very real
And no one has faced the consequences
Yeah
[Hook (Background)]
If this is a war I'm locked in
(Fuck is y'all talking bout?)
Score bangers on beats like top bins
(If this is a fucking war)
Can’t step near me like toxins
(Then I'll stand for what I believe in)
Make more money no need to clock in
(And I'll die for the cause if that's what it fucking takes)
If this is a war I’m locked in
Score bangers on beats like top bins
(Free Palestine till it's backwards)
Can’t step near me like toxins (ay)
Make more money (ay) no need to clock in (yuh)
[Verse 2]
They killing my people for sport
Ain’t no gang shit, occupation
Invade two more for the oil
Wiping out my population
Don’t stand down now we using force
Cause they don’t show no remorse
Red dots, slices killed in morse
Now we get to change the course
Of history, don’t make no sense to me
Why would I spend all my money to buy me a porsche?
Assembly, need to be deadly
Cause our peep don’t even get a fair shot in the courts
Taking our homes and I’m taking their souls
Fighting with stones, they got money and drones
Can’t even pray without guns at our domes
Starting to give me survivor’s remorse
Losing my spirit, have faith in the Lord
Ain’t got a bullet, I’d die by the sword
Managed to find me the strength to record
Issues we face, on the news they ignore
Really, it seems that we all on our own
Try to protect but the crimes never shown
Dictatorship need to be overthrown
(Dictatorship need to be overthrown)
[Hook]

If this is a war I’m locked in
Score bangers on beats like top bins
Can’t step near me like toxins
Make more money no need to clock in
If this is a war I’m locked in
