Casualties Of War - Rakim[00:00:00]

Written by：William Griffin/Eric Barrier[00:00:01]

Casualties of war[00:00:08]

Casualties of war as I approach the barricade[00:00:18]

Where's the enemy who do I invade[00:00:21]

Bullets of Teflon bulletproof vest rip[00:00:23]

Tear ya outta ya frame with a bag full of clips[00:00:25]

Cause I got a family that waits for my return[00:00:27]

To get back home is my main concern[00:00:30]

I'ma get back to New York in one piece[00:00:32]

But I'm bent in the sand that is hot as the city streets[00:00:34]

Sky lights up like fireworks blind me[00:00:36]

Bullets whistling over my head remind me[00:00:39]

President bush said attack[00:00:41]

Flashback to Nam I might not make it back[00:00:43]

Missile hits the area screams wake me up[00:00:46]

From a war of dreams heat up the m16[00:00:48]

Basic training trained for torture[00:00:50]

Take no prisoners and I just caught ya[00:00:52]

Addicted to murder send more bodybags[00:00:55]

They can't identify em leave the nametags[00:00:57]

I get a rush when I see blood dead bodies on the floor[00:00:59]

Casualties of war[00:01:03]

Casualties of war[00:01:06]

Casualties of war[00:01:08]

Casualties of war[00:01:10]

Day divides the night and night divides the day[00:01:13]

Its all hard work and no play[00:01:16]

More than combat its far beyond that[00:01:18]

Cause I got a kill or be killed kind of attack[00:01:20]

Areas mapped out there'll be no stratego[00:01:22]

Me and my platoon make a boom wherever we go[00:01:25]

But what are we here for who's on the other side of the wall[00:01:27]

Somebody give the president a call[00:01:30]

But I hear warfare scream through the air[00:01:31]

Back to the battlegrounds its war they declare[00:01:34]

A desert storm lets see who reigns supreme[00:01:36]

Something like monopoly a government scheme[00:01:38]

Go to the army be all you can be[00:01:41]

Another dead soldier hell no not me[00:01:43]

So I start letting off ammunition in every direction[00:01:45]

Allah is my only protection[00:01:48]

But wait a minute Saddam Hussein prays the same[00:01:50]

And this is Asia from where I came[00:01:52]

I'm on the wrong side so change the target[00:01:54]

Shooting at the general and wheres the sergeant[00:01:57]

Blame it on john hardy Hawkins for bringing me to America[00:01:59]

Now its mass hysteria[00:02:02]

I get a rush when I see blood dead bodies on the floor[00:02:04]

Casualties of war[00:02:07]

Casualties of war[00:02:10]

Casualties of war[00:02:12]

Casualties of war[00:02:14]

The war is over for now at least[00:02:17]

Just because they lost it don't mean its peace[00:02:20]

Its a long way home its a lot to think about[00:02:22]

Whole generation left in doubt[00:02:24]

Innocent families killed in the midst[00:02:26]

It'll be more dead people after this[00:02:29]

So I'm glad to be alive and walking[00:02:31]

Half of my platoon came home in coffins[00:02:33]

Except the general buried in the storm[00:02:36]

In bits and pieces no need to look for em[00:02:38]

I played it slick and got away with it[00:02:41]

Rigged it up so they would think they did it[00:02:43]

Now I'm home on reserves and you can bet[00:02:45]

When they call I'm going awol[00:02:47]

Cause it ain't no way I'm going back to war[00:02:49]

When I don't know who or what I'm fighting for[00:02:52]

So I wait for terrorists to attack[00:02:54]

Every time a truck backfires I fire back[00:02:56]

I look for shelter when a plane is over me[00:02:58]

Remember pearl harbor New York could be over g[00:03:01]

Kamikaze strapped with bombs[00:03:03]

No peace in the east they want revenge for Saddam[00:03:05]

Did I hear gunshots or thunder[00:03:08]

No time to wonder somebodys going under[00:03:10]

Put on my fatigues and my camoflouge[00:03:12]

Take control cause I'm in charge[00:03:15]

When I snapped out of it it was blood dead bodies on the floor[00:03:17]

Casualties of war[00:03:21]

Casualties of war[00:03:23]

Casualties of war[00:03:25]

Casualties of war[00:03:27]
