INTRO Em
Em
Lil Mark get shot, Lil Reese and them
Em
Little niggas, it's hard to find peace in them
Em
Chiraq, they say it's Middle Easterin'
Em
Put your flames in the air for the deceased to them
Em
Young soldiers who never got to become older
Em
Dogtagged in the body bag
Em
Police kept the knot he had
Em
Plus he had weed in his system
Em
Never knew at 13 they could enlist them
Em
Momma kissed him, body was colder
Em
She was shaking, I tried to hold her
Em
Tears on my shoulder, he was supposed to
Em
Be going to his junior year, this is his funeral year
Em
Paul-bearers, all looking like kids
Em
Some faces show anger, some show tears
Em
No moustaches, no beards
Em
Probably had the same aspirations as his
Em
On a mission, staring in the distance
Em
It never stop like the muslims and christians
Em
We under-21 gun salute them
Em
Just to go back and salute them
Em
I'm talkin' bout war
[HOOK x2]
Em
To all the killas and the hundred dolla billas
Em
Real hittas who ain't got no feelins
Em
There's a war goin on inside, no one is safe from, goin on
Em
Going on, there's a war goin on inside, no one is safe from
Em
Or can escape from, take one wars from the same place that hate from
Em
Gang wars used to be about the nations
Em
Now it's cliques with clips and hittas is missing
Em
They hit the innocent now they families miss him
Em
Death do kissed him, in his last breath he wishing
Em
But no option so he assume position
Em
It don't stop, hittas killin women and children
Em
Angels cried, that's supposed to be God's decision
Em
Collisions of cliques named after rap groups
Em
Except wearing Jordans instead of black boots
Em
Black troupes trade war stories reminiscent of glory
Em
Walk the walk of those before me since I was a shorty
Em
Seen slugs and drugs and unemployment
Em
Terror town y'all was my first deployment
Em
The life of a soldier ain't nothing to toy with
Em
I'm livin' in this shit while the world exploit it
[HOOK x2]
Em
To all the killas and the hundred dolla billas
Em
Real hittas who ain't got no feelins
Em
My basic training was aiming
Em
Hustling, banging changing niggas up
Em
Cause of what they did to us
Em
Nigga, I don't give a fuck
Em
It's do or die in the Chi
Em
And I ain't lived enough
Em
Hoping for some visitors
Em
Of war, I'm a prisoner
Em
Politicians they did enough
Em
Want to get rid of us
Em
Hopped in the back as soon as the shots hit the truck
Em
Looked at my son I could see his soul
Em
Shot and killed at three years old
[INTERLUDE]
Em
War, war, war, war!
Em
We are at war!
[Outro]
Em
We came up of this concept, Nobody Smilin
Em
And uh, all the violence that was going on - it was happening in Chicago
Em
It's happening in the inner cities all over America
Em
I said "Nobody Smiling" but it's really a call to action
