Some deep shiid lyrics with an urban twist.

Screw,
Still, U got to wonder how these rap stars always get the tracks for sampling.

it's not only just rappers that sample their music from earlier hits, it's a very common thing in the music business these days, the most famous sampler being P. Diddy.

AW thats one of my favorite songs of all time. I got hooked to it after watching Lord of War back in 05. I made a little vid with the song on Somalia events back in Jan and put it up on google videos, but the fukkers removed it saying the images were too graphic.
my favorite line has to be " Nobody's right if everybody's wrong "

Gatspy,
Amen brother.
I was relating the song to whats happened in Somalia.
Soemtimes you got to ask yourself, "What the fock are we still fighting for?"
War itself becomes a living creature that must sustain itself.

Madmadoobe here r the lyrics to the song, Its like this song was written for Somalis decades ago.
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

I've heard it enough time b4 as well, but never paid close attention b4 watching Lord of War. Nicolas Cage shoulda got atleast a nomination for that btw.
