Talkin' bout how messed up the world is these days.
Story behind the song
Well, I feel there's far too much shit goin' on in the world....had to let people know how I feel.
Lyrics
[HOOK - SCARR]
Things are changin' in the streets, and it ain't for the better/
More people settlin' beefs by usin' blades and Berettas/
Women and children gettin' shot up and locked up in cellars/
Innocent people attacked, and stabbed wit' umbrellas/
Nowadays the most obscure objects used as weapons/
It seems respect comes first, and then life comes second/
People warn of the end, but we're already at armageddon/
People just don't give a fuck if they go to Hell or Heaven/
[VERSE 1 - SCARR]
I round up my troops and organise the battalion/
These times show the irrelevance of fast cars and medallions/
Increasingly I find it, I have to defy the law/
Rhymes can only take you so far in these times of war/
I feel resigned to fall - because hope comes in morsels/
But my resilience earned me the title "Scarr The Immortal"/
I've been around since the very beginning of time/
Back at the Roman Senate House, I was there spittin' a rhyme/
You can catch me in the pages of history, I'm not hard to miss/
Oversaw the construction of the Temple Of Artemis/
Now all these fathers exist - and they don't even know it/
If there's any emotion inside of 'em, they don't wanna show it/
It's just these poets like me, who gotta open your eyes/
We gotta take action now or the worlds' foes gonna rise/
People oppose they own lives, and they gotta choose they words/
Cuz step on the wrong persons toes....and Uzi's gon' burst/
[HOOK - SCARR]
[VERSE 2 - SCARR]
Spirallin' out of control, this gang crime won't stop/
Try to live on the streets and end up gettin' time or shot/
And homicidal cops havin' needless shootin' spells/
And you really wanna wonder why the youth rebels?/
We could use some rails on this small bridge of sanity/
Murders and rapes every day - and you wanna diss my profanity?/
It's just so sad to see news of kids knifin' each other/
And they losin' they emotions, wouldn't even die for they mother/
My homies would die for each other, that's the way it needs to be/
Gettin' fed wit' all this beef between the police and me/
I'm bereavin' decency cuz this world's gettin' so sinister/
We got an idiot for President, and a poodle for Prime Minister/
When will the US finish the list of people they wanna attack?/
Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea, Iraq/
They put other peoples problems before the problems of they own turf/
So someone tell me what the muthafuck happened to this Earth??/
[HOOK - SCARR]
[BRIDGE - SCARR]
Another day is dawnin'/
More people are fallin'/
The world is appallin'/
The country's fuckin' stallin'/
We can't be affordin'/
All these people mournin'/
And life is seemin' dauntin'/
But the fuckin' streets are callin'/
[HOOK - SCARR]
