Song: Civil War
Artist: Toussaint Morrison
Written by Toussaint Morrison
Released May 3, 2011
Take
it however you wanna take it
Shape
shift, mixtape or a secret invasion
Young
Avengers done screwed the whole piece
Over
a lack’a dignity and reality TV
I
keep the peace, but don’t doubt it,
Threaten
my people and I’ll have to snatch the life out’ya
I
left the glory and I ain’t goin’ back
Not
for you, them or anybody’s registration act
It’s
run my patience flat, I’ve face the facts
Facin’
worse after Cap had to take the wrap.
I’m
a brand new Puma shoe in to the who’s who of mutants
Same
uniform, new kicks.
Between
wise fools, and the foolish
This
ain’t about who’s losin’, it’s about who’s human
Tellin’
me to prove it, when the proof isn’t proven
Just
don’t make me do this.
-
CHORUS
Walkin’
through these streets of warfare
(And
it all coulda been so simple)
You
can only hope it’s goin’ somewhere
(Since
life turned into a comic book, we’ve had a few issues)
-
I
don’t know where it goes or where it comes from
But
you can follow it by the trail of lazer guns
Civil
war, homie, and I’ll be blazin’em
But
not before I get my daily dose of Eat, Pray, Love.
Laugh
if ya wanna, disbelieve the truth,
Just
understand super-villains got feelings too.
Blinded
by the hype, and you’ll never see it thru,
Claimin’
that you cold, you can barely keep it cool
Hot
heads goin’ off like rockets
The
style’s so gorgeous, they tellin’ me to drop dead
And
it still not, will not, can’t stop, won’t stop
Elbow
drop, blowin’ up like botox.
I’m
bored and that’s why ya’ll throwin’ darts
Cos
ya janky and workin’ for Tony Stark
Don’t
got it by now, then ya slow from the start
You
tryin’ to fix the fuse, while we glow in the dark
-
CHORUS
Walkin’
through these streets of warfare
(And
it all coulda been so simple)
You
can only hope it’s goin’ somewhere
(Since
life turned into a comic book, we’ve had a few issues)
-
They
wanna play God and brand their name on the crown,
They
wanna be the king and hurl lighting from the clouds
I
use to want it to, just like you
And
watch the whole world turn into the Brooklyn Zoo
But
hard times don’t call for part times
Fightin’
crime with a few longshots and far
cries
I
had to spearhead a few problems that ain’t mine
Hell
know these streets weren’t laid on straight lines
Everyday
the plot and mood gets
Milkshake
thick with a brand new twist
My
mom wants me to telephone booth it
As
I make gravity look like an illusion
But
I am what I am, no uniforms.
I’m
Luke Cage, these cats is luke warm.
Nobody
ever put this up to me,
But
I won’t pretend the end of this is gonna come in peace.
CHORUS
Walkin’
through these streets of warfare
(And
it all coulda been so simple)
You
can only hope it’s goin’ somewhere
(Since
life turned into a comic book, we’ve had a few issues)
Walkin’
through these streets of warfare
(And
it all coulda been so simple)
You
can only hope it’s goin’ somewhere
(Since
life turned into a comic book, we’ve had a few issues)
