"War 
War!"
"War 
War!"

This is a beginning, message I'm sending, out
To all the rappers who think they got clout
Maybe you do, maybe you don't
want to start a battle with me, but I won't
Cause it don't make sense to me, just to see
Who's the best you see
We got a lot of negativity, in the rap industry
Battling for superiority
Who's the best? Who's the worst?
Who's the good, who's the bad? I'm mad, listen up now!

[Chorus]
"War, war! Huh, good God y'all" (C'mon now!)
"What is it good for?" (What?)
"Absolutely nothing!"
Say it again now (pump it up, pump it up, see'mon)
"War! You M-C's listen" (uh)
"What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!" yeah yeah

This is secondary, tell me is it necessary
To battle another brother, hurry
Tell me the answer, I want to know this
This ain't war, this is show business
Unless, I guess
You think, you're the best, I won't 'fess
I'll make peace, even though I'm strong
Another flow right along in a battle

[Chorus] 

L-l-l-l-l-l-l-let's talk about Hitler, a man with a sick mind
One of the threats of all mankind
He thought he was the best, the baddest
He's dead, and I'm the gladdest
A lot of rappers, they get ego's
Like kings and queens, and all my heroes
But no, I'm not claimin' no titles
Young kids, rappers they idols
I'm not a gangster, I don't diss
A lot of rappers do and I'm pissed
Like Hitler, they want to rule
But God's the ruler you fool!

[Chorus: x2]

Now you're the best, the baddest, the roughest, the toughest
Man, you ain't sayin' nothin'
to me, cause I'm another MC
(Doin' what?) Battlin' for superiority
No! That ain't true, I ain't you
And I ain't tryin to just knock you
I want to get some peace and love and happiness
And things like those you can't miss
Stand your ground, I ain't saying be a punk
(Why not?) Cause if you do, your ship'll get sunk
Cause this is war, no, this is show business
So let's get down to the bottom of this

[Chorus] 

It's funny, I don't see Patti and Luther battlin'
(Why?) It's doesn't matter and
All I want to do, is make music
Throw it on so the people can use it
Rap is strong, word is bond, let's go on
Let the dream live on, we're movin'
Like a jet, fast
Remember they said it wouldn't last

[Chorus]

("MC's, brag and boast, try to play post")

[Chorus: x2]
