Trip Lee – War

This is war, like you ain’t seen
This winter’s long, it’s cold and mean
When life and death go to battle, ain’t no tellin’ what’ll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain’t no tellin’ what’ll happen
When life and death go to battle, ain’t no tellin’ what’ll happen
It’s war tonight, it’s death and life

This is the kind of war you ain’t never seen ever
Soldiers gettin’ ragged, homie heads get severed
Death tolls crazy like nuttin’ on record
Civilians ain’t safe man, the troops might get ya
Can’t run or hide, ’cause them guys gon’ catch ya
They never get tired, never let up
They’re fired up, wired up, to put you on a stretcher
But is the good side tough enough? You betya
Yeah you got bad guys, you know they’re a problem
Tryin’ to overthrow the King, yep that’s what we call Him
No life full of dark nights, no Gothem
This ain’t fake death, no possum, can’t anybody stop ’em
Tombstones everywhere, dead bodies rottin’
Big glock poppin’, bodies still droppin’
But I ain’t gonna cry though, for just to get swallowed
The Father sent His Son and the troops gon’ follow

The Son came down to the wasteland we in
A death-filled mess, He’ll win, no leavin’
No rest ’till Death’s killed, the fight ain’t even
And Death won’t be left, still breathin’
The Son’s on the frontline crossin’ their borders
Invadin’ enemy land, but they can’t thwart Him
A good troop *will graze him*, and they ain’t even force him
But God use that sin to support ’em
They capture the King, next thing them shots rang out
General is down, the troops are like “We out”
The life giver dies, and the other side celebrates
But they ain’t know hellish fate, that Death’ll face
They’re never safe, He’s a beast who does featherweights
Just when they thought they took Him down, He would elevate
Death can never take pride in that blow
‘Cause the King beat Death when He died and He rose

It really might seem like the war’s still goin’
People still dyin’, sin is still potent
The devil’s still temptin’, and evil ain’t slowin’
Just wait until that trumpet gets blowin’
The General is comin’, with keys in His hands
The Death and Hades they’ll freeze where they stand
Can see they’ve been defeated, please understand
If they don’t want to see Him, bro the King is the Man
He’s a man of war, a beast on the battlefield
Obliteratin’ all the evil forces that are killed
Where’s your sting Death, oh you ain’t got it bro
Where’s your victory? Oh you’ve been swallowed whole
But when He’s back, there ain’t no fightin’ Jehovah
He’ll toss you in a lake of burnin’ fire and sulfur
He’s a titan, a soldier, He’ll wipe away our tears and our fears
And all our pain and death will be over

This is war
on sin and death
The dark will take
Its final breath
