Love and War

Verse 1
Light skinned, thin slight build
He took a liking
This a lightning striking twice thing
Wife, kids
Back at home can't judge him no
Nigga Life's real
Might think he a Casanova, he a viking
Different time he was fighting wars
Against the fascists
Live or die calculate the odds it was frightening
Silver line somewhere in the clouds real love lives
Finish line one of them would die these are not wins
Love and War like twins
With similar feels
The champions of the free
Are prisons still
She couldn't wait ten years
A woman must live
He put that pain in his tears
And couldn't forgive
The radical militant womanizer
Save the movement turn a blind eye to
And sanitize stature
All the structures that might fracture
When the sculptures of icons are patched up after
Chorus (Lucille Slade)
Kings and queens for life
Never forget you’re daughters of his might
Never small you are a
King and queen in this life
Never forget you are a son who brings more light
Here to save a nation
bring on the trumpet sounds x2
Verse 2
The brave stories In the history books
But slain soldier uniform & dirty laundry
What the widows took
Love child with the village hooker
The scandal is hidden in the nook
Hush now nigga shush
Medals for bravery bronze star for the crook
Alienated the odd child they forsook
He Looks like him but he don't get a look
You judge him but soon they will salute
The freedom fighting, titan
Hero knight in shining camouflage
Battlescared
And everybody pulls the struggle card
Cuz from afar there's some charm in a mushroom cloud
But when the dust settles that still an atom bomb
Love and War like a double edge cutting saw
Martin Luther had a flozzy Hoover was recording
My Poppa died for a freedom that I now enjoy
But left some frightening demons we ain't recovered from
Chorus (Lucille Slade)
Kings and queens for life
Never forget you’re daughters of his might
Never small you are a
King and queen in this life
Never forget you are a son who brings more light
Here to save a nation
bring on the trumpet sounds x2
