WAR Paint
Chorus
This is for my liege, whom I protect under siege
With every breath that I breath
This is for my family, whether air, fire, land, or sea
I know they’d stand for me
This is for those who arose chose roads to be foes
You know how it goes
This is for my dream
One King, shunned team, hear them scream
Verse 1
Apply to the face touch carefully
Just barely dab the mixture of crushed berries
The blood rush prepares me
To be returned to the ashes and dust buried
Still at ease, underground with night crawlers and millipedes
It’s my way of giving all I’ve got to fulfill my deeds
Laying down my life, not spraying blanks
Is my way of saying thanks
It’s hard to be unthankful
When you’re protected by your guardian angel
I am forever grateful for being taken in
As the one responsible for my own debt, this is how I make amends
Take a walk in my shoes break them in
If you get the idea I won’t refuse, but choose to loose, think again
God is too good for me to drop my eyes on the prize
I’m surprised I’m alive when I should have died, but by the ninth time, I won’t survive
Verse 2
In my brother’s eyes, I see faint tears
I’m sure he sees the same in mine, the war paint smears
In abrasion from our faces, we embrace then let go
Never thought I would, but we must get on with the show
We’re just these pawns
Barely strong enough to maintain these bonds
Final stand, so in our mind, we’re already gone, spirits at a steady calm,
Deadly arms clasped tight inside a sweaty palm
So just [breath] take a breath soldiers
We fight for the same thing, like a fence chain-linked as death approach us
You fear what I fear, I’m here because you’re here, you like what I like
I fight because you fight, you need what I need, I bleed because you bleed
Truthfully, we’ve risen high, because on these principles, we live and die
I know for you, as I, when your blood is leaking
That’s about the same time happiness seeps in
Verse 3
The paint on my face smears by the bloody metal
The disfigured body on the ground? He was a rebel
It’s not like it’s a new scene
He was in clear violation, and he knew the routine
As well as I, Fellers live, fellers die for telling lie
Sticking nails in sides, each does their duty hell or high
Water, don’t matter if all you got is a foot
Or if you have so many arms, you look like an octopus
Because we have a shield
And there’s more in any one of us than the biggest weapon on the battle field
What comforts do you have when your blood splash and spill?
Knowing your men don’t coming back, what you going to do?
Yea, I talk that smack, woo woo woo
If the fact that we’re destined to die isn’t let in your life, a dead end you’ll find
In those years of yesterday
I’m not afraid when blood covers my face; it’s my ancestor’s way
