There s a war in the streets tonight

And nobody s really feelin alright

I got a blunt for a chronica juice for my tonic

I know now that I m feelin right if it goes down

Cause my third eye sees the lowdown

And I know it s not my time to go now

Cause God s got my back in this showdown

So I know we ll be alright

[Nas

YeahBrooks Brothers overcoatknow the ropessmooth is holdin those

Briefcasessilk tiesslick as them older folks

Silver fo -fo got no

My chauffer driver just left some of my colleagues smokin that Cali

Caught a glimpse of myself in the Barney s shop window

Kinda see my father s features creepin in a little

Got an office on Broadwaybusiness in Jamaica

Tell my daughter try the hardest so the best schools ll take her

And I m late to a dite with my wifeI realize

I stopped to shophad to get her some type surprise

And I m walkin through itchaos is all around me

But God got meno fearthrough the fire pride stop

[Chorus - singing

There s a war in the streets tonight

And all this drama s got me feelin uptight

I don t know what I ll do if I don t see my boo

Cause she s standin on the corner of Linden Boulevard

Holding our baby in her baby in her arms

So hold onyour daddy s in sight

[Nas

YeahNine-fourDestiny opens her eyes

For the first timepraise Godbaby mom s cryin

Planned to be a strong black family

But we both were too youngtoo strungtoo much flashin

New comeI caught verbal assassin runnin with

Nothin but the worst typeworst fight

But we brought my baby home the first night

Cursed like sailorsburst out the crib

Ragin in my new car bought from entertainment

Champaign and gainin clout fastwhiplash

Did this bitch just pass in the club pugged upstupid ass

Grabbed her by the pony tailnever disrespect me

I m a street vetregret the sexbut not Desi

Moved back to your grandmaI m singlethe land s mine

She keeps the BenzI m all in the streets again

Squeezin the penreleased againchart toppers

Hard-bottoms blessed the feetnow less baby mom s problems

New womanshe s greatthis a different world

Checkin out my wife s chemistry with my little girl

It s so amazin playin life is so crazy

I ve grown up the thankful for lessons God gave me

[Chorus - singing

There s a war in the streets tonight

And nobody s really feelin alright

I got a blunt for a chronica juice for my tonic

I know now that I m feelin right if it goes down

Cause my third eye sees the lowdown

And I know it s not my time to go now

Cause God s got my back in this showdown

So I know we ll be alright
