[Sample: Edwin Starr]
War (huh)
War (huh)
War (huh)
War (huh, yeah)
War (huh, yeah)
What is it good for? Absolutely nothing
War (huh, yeah)
What is it good for? Absolutely nothing
[Intro: Slix]
Yo, alright then
Agent X, Ruff Sqwad team up
Slix, Shifty Rydos, Rapid, Fuda Guy, Tinchy Stryder
Alright then, let's get busy on this one
[Verse 1: Slix]
Yo, if it's war, I'm raising hell
I've been doing it and doing it and doing it well
Guys wanna come against, try clash I but
It ain't good for nothing, why try?
Try clash but you won't gain nothing
'Cause I live and even breathe war
And I dare one of you step forth
And I guarantee you will get left in the morgue
We's be the pirates, I smell the fraud
We's be the highest, top all the scores
I'm Slix, call me the top gun
Ate all the pies and left you the crumbs, so
What's it, what's it really, really
Good for? Nothing
Yeah, I'll done your career like nothing
Agent X, we keep the bass thumping
[Chorus: Slix, Tinchy Stryder & Shifty Rydos]
War, all these stupid wars
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Oh, not another
War, please tell me
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Rydos
[Verse 2: Shifty Rydos]
See, I'm Shifty, dark skin with the pink lips
See, I write so much that the ink drips
No, I don't do this just to link chicks
I tell fellas so they don't jinx this
I don't think I'm the best in the scene
I hold it down for the rest of the team
R to the U-double-F is the team
S-Q-W-A-D, seen?
They say Shifty is so serious
I say nothing too smart for serious
No, I don't want to hear that, it's meediest
Damn it, [?] I'm serious
I'm so ahead, I'm in the next year
I'll see you there, I'm in the next gear
Eff what they said, I'll be the next there
When I get there, I'll be the next feared
[Chorus: Slix, Tinchy Stryder & Prince Rapid]
War, all these stupid wars
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Oh, not another
War, please tell me
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Yo, it's Rapid, trust me, listen
[Verse 3: Prince Rapid]
I don't really write bars
I just produce the track for the big stars
I'm so rapid that you might see me wing past
Lazy sometimes 'cause I can't be arsed, hit 'em with a big blast
Hit 'em with the militant styley
Bar for bar, flow for flow, please try me
Laidback n***a but a little bit feisty
Got the underground locked entirely
Come against my clique? No, I can't see that
Hits on the underground, yeah, ah me that
Badmind n***s, two three that
Agent X on the beat so see that, we can never beat that
Agent X and Ruff Sqwad team up
Can't war this, you will get beamed up
Strong backbones, we hold the scene up
We hold bare weight like a double D cup
[Chorus: Slix & Tinchy Stryder]
War, all these stupid wars
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Oh, not another
War, please tell me
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Strydes, yo, won with one hand, that's me
[Verse 4: Tinchy Stryder]
Yo, I ain't got time for microphone clashing
You won't get stripes off me, I'm a vet, and
I ain't got time for your everyday hyping
You won't get bigger that way so rest
You're coming like a local pest
While you're mic man warring, I'm chasing cheques
You're twissing my headpiece left
Your style's no good, you're boog, you're getting me vexed
See me, I'm a money man, I love the money and
You know there's nobody better than me
I'm a money dude, I'm on the money moves
I'm a leader so I don't follow man
You won't see me caught in a hype
It's unlike me to be clashing on mic
Back then, I was down for the hype
But nowadays, I need the P in my life
[Chorus: Slix & Tinchy Stryder]
War, all these stupid wars
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Oh, not another
War, please tell me
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
