You heatin' up Lavish
I was like sixteen when I got my hand on my chopper
They killed my father
So it's war like Israel versus Gaza be hard to swallow
When it's bodies on the pages you follow
Seeing war like every day that don't make me a monster
I be like who decides war
This is where get murdered just from walkin' to the store
You ever really lose a homie
You gotta walk into the morgue
And still be strong with his mother while she fallin' on the floor
Knowin' damn well you wanna fall out with her but it's war
Out in Haiti they kill ladies and the babies what it's for
If they show it on the news they say it's gangs tell us more
Tell us why if our people goin' crazy tryna die
Make it out the hood then go to the army need nine lives
Only got like four left they tried to kill me five times
They gonna laugh if you fail but if you win it's high fives
And you wonder why I be lookin' all funny with the side eye
I'm like who decides war
I'm at war with myself in the mirror like are you sure
Selling raw I was takin' a risk for a Roc Velour
And some brand new forces it's crazy they locked my door
I'm at war with the system now 'cause I wanted some clothes
I'm at war with these people now 'cause I wanted the rolls
'Cause I wanted my family out the hood where they suppose
I want war with everybody that say I supposed had to owed
I'm like who decides war
Thinkin' to myself like who decide to give the shooter a bomb
Crush a buildin' kill a whole family like a group of five
Go back to your family like you good and then you lose your mind
Who decide
When you all alone and it's you and God
And you the one gettin' scrutinized
Youngin' sixteen ain't even get to do a prom
They buried him in a Dickie he was scared to wear a suit and tie
Jail cells graveyard always do or die
I told my dawg chase his dreams he like who am I
I seen them yurkies share the dreams between you and I
All that depression he didn't even mean to commit suicide
Who decide who gonna make it out or who should die
See a good go broke and then lose his mind
For trying to have too much remorse about who's alive
Who decides war
War
War
