lyrics

Intro:
Hay rumores rumores rumores de guerra
Hay rumores rumores rumores de guerra
Hay rumores rumores rumores de guerra
Hay rumores rumores rumores de guerra

Verse
arose from a blood bath saved by grace
make the case for all my comrades
baptized in the fire of combat
on the frontline mind frame is attack
you ask? what fans the flames?
look at the fire in my eye see the pain
hear words come alive no it’s not a game
know what it feel to be blatantly betrayed
to many ready willing and Abel Cain
personify hate they aim to assassinate
my character for personal gain but that’s vain
use to be one of the same but abrupt change
took place converting came with an upgrade
discern sharp turns serve and switch lanes
go from a troubled soul bonded in chains
to inspire feeble minds gone through the same
things come clean put it simple and plain
use to pump weight bank roll major pape
lusted for the hustle and all its accolade
trap till I realize it’s a rat race
faint rappers justify but I can’t
got relatives still pricking they veins
picking at scabs getting the shakes
scratching an itch fiend-ing for base
looking for a brief escape hey!

Chorus
Cuanto tiempo nos queda
si vivir es sufrir
hay rumores de guerra
por donde quiera que vas
en la esqina se escucha
pero que pasara
pero que pasara
pero que pasara
hay rumores de guerra

Verse
in a fallen world my readiness is heightened
an ex marine trained to flack your sniping
abuela is like que dios te guarde
poniendo dios pordelante be decisive
fear non triflin’ my writing ripened
focused on community gripped by vices
food shortages family’s in crisis
stomachs growling tummy’s tightening
little to no low-income housing
women struck by domestic violence
babies crying mami’s frightened
Cuz papi’s wiling a rampant tyrant
ready to spark you up como un ligh-ter
por fa please ma’ don’t let him strike me
and he strike in the darkness of night
how can young-in do right with so much plight
make young-in wanna go reach for a knife
to slice his wrist or pierce your wind pipe
squeeze a four-fifth or bust a nine
and look death right dead in it’s eye
and plea the fifth facing twenty to life
getting bribed by the father of lies
fewer kids ready to live there’s more willing to die
it ain’t about ah ah-ah ah I...

Chorus
Cuanto tiempo nos queda
si vivir es sufrir
hay rumores de guerra
por donde quiera que vas
en la esqina se escucha
pero que pasara
