War - Rhema Soul, Benjah

The other day i had put my daughter time out Only a year and she is taking over

my house, Yeah

And as funny as that seems

We got a generation where fathers are not seen So

(Uh oh)

We are at war

And the bullet is in my heart cause I’ve been there before

(Uh oh)

To my nieces and my nephews… While our brothers are in the trench theres

refuge Because

I know that people are alarmed when a city is arms and we All need rescue

If we could only elevate

To a higher land

Then, we could all have the best view

There’s a war on peace, in the streets

They’re strung out so the city never sleeps

They counting sheep.

Waiting for the Shepard to come.

There’s a war,

there’s a war, there’s a war

There’s a war, there’s a war, there’s a war

Thinking back to the days they were on the brink Three little kids looking for

the missing link Everyday they felt the sound and the fury

All felt lost and bound but in a hurry

So… The oldest had a talk with his mom and she said Papi ain’t deceased but

he’s still dead

Yep, and he’d be lying if he didn’t say

It didn’t leave a part of him in disarray

Fast forward a decade and a half

They’re self made and married it’s a blessing and half… Sometimes we all feel

the war inside

And sometimes we fall but there’s more inside

Isn’t it true of us all

We trip and get shaken

Losing sight of the call

You see we’re all in the trenches

There’s a war on peace did I mention?

There’s a war on peace, in the streets

They’re strung out so the city never sleeps

They counting sheep.

Waiting for the Shepard to come.

There’s a war,

there’s a war, there’s a war

There’s a war, there’s a war, there’s a war

Where all my ladies at?

We gotta stand strong We gotta hold it together Cause

we the back bone I know it gets hard

When days turn into nights

You gave him all you had

Now you paying the price

All alone found yourself rollin solo

Bought up all the lies lost your dreams now you don’t know Now He wanna be

anonymous

Now you up On Jerry Springer like tell me who the father is we blame the economy

Cause we trying to pay the bills

Fight for jobs cause we struggling

Ladies hold your man down

Be a college grad love your kids Trust God he’ll step in

Let’s wave a white flag

I’m calling all my troops

Cause we gotta call truce

Let’s move

I’m throwing up my deuces Peace to all the drama

I’ll see you when the war ends

There’s a war on peace in the streets

They’re strung out so the city never sleeps

They count sheep waiting for the shepherd to come There’s a war, there’s a war,

there’s a war

There’s a war, there’s a war, there’s a war
