World War II

Riviir

Compositor: R. Mitchell

Could you pray for us, few scriptures from the Quran
Few scriptures from the Guru Granth Sahib
A bit of peace is all I need
In this cold world
Pray for us, few scriptures from the Tripitaka
Few scriptures from the Vedas
Was this God's plan when he made us
Mankind are vile beings

Socialized with men of wisdom, fakes, devils and holy men
Lived through so many wars, they call me the ghetto historian
Never got love from a woman, they say Káy you a lonely man
The pain I been holding in
But we're soldiers, here to lead the people
Look in ya eyes, look in the world, all I see is evil
I see hate in the form of love, mankind is more deceitful
Remember days of mental turmoil, no one to speak to
I love Harlem but I keep da fo' fo' tucked when I creep through
I'm just a man, I can't change the world, just here to balance it
Tip the scales of good and evil, burden of the talented
Or I could watch my people get slaughtered and stay silent like Khaled did
Nah, not in your wildest dream that would be a narrative
Born in Jamaica, on da block ducking Five 0
Came from a place where it's all about survival
Knowledge is the key, let me tell you what I know
Get money, get knowledge, Keep it thuggin' till ya eyes closed

Could you pray for us, few scriptures from the Quran
Few scriptures from the Guru Granth Sahib
A bit of peace is all I need
In this cold world
Pray for us, few scriptures from the Tripitaka
Few scriptures from the Vedas
Was this God's plan when he made us
Mankind are vile beings

Kids flocked my Jeep, staring at the stones on my gold medallion
Conflict diamonds, bad karma be on the souls that carry em
World domination, why US had foes like Joseph Stalin
Fighting to rule the world while I'm fighting for clothes to style in
Let's rewind back in time, nineteen twenty-nine, when the wall-street crashed
Germany laughed, our time at last, ready bombs to blast
Allegiance with Russia, plotting revenge for their prior losses
New breed of man, death to the Allied Forces
Gun range and gas chambers used to multiply corpses
World leader stay protected behind fortified fortress
Japan sought to expand their dynasty but they lacked resources
China had what they needed so they colonized and seized it
Germany marched on the Allied Forces and their allegiants
Poland was the first invasion while chaos erupts in Asia
Japan war machine obliterates China's essence to vapors
Chaos everywhere, stay tuned, let's see where it takes us

The war is currently in Japan's favor, everything's going terrific
Their ambition increases, plans of conquering the whole pacific
America won't like that, they might strike back
The general gave the order to drop bombs on Pearl Harbor
Nearly four thousand in casualties, it was sad to see
America declared war, mobilizing all cavalries
Joining the allied family, putting pressure on the Germans
The tide of war is turning, millions dying, cities burning
But Hitler will never back down, he was focused and determined
It was a fight till the death, grab ya teck, tension's surging
The soviets marched, reclaimed the North, the Germans lost
Hitler killed himself, his generals fled, some were caught
Meanwhile overseas
The US reclaiming countries seized
To build bases land and sea to attack the Japanese
Good men constantly killing good men for a few bad men's greed
America then nuked Hiroshima, the whole world couldn't believe

Could you pray for us, few scriptures from the Quran
