War .../ What is it good for/ Absolutely nothin, nothin', nothin', nothin
-Layzie Bone-
We be the mighty mighty warriors (Warriors) on the rise (On the rise) thug niggas this my battle cries/Warriors (Warriors) on the rise (On the rise)/ (Time to die) Thug nigga (Time to die)/ You better be ready for war/ It's almost here, nineteen ninety-nine/ Could it be the end of the new millenium?/ Sendin' them soldiers out to die, then they ride for the cause/ Shoot em up all, tha laws/ Mean muggin', givin' no lovin' to these fake-ass laws, Mo Thug, and nigga if you need to be prepared, pump your strap up in the air/ Let em' all loose if you ain't scared/ Shoot 'em up, if you don't care/ Yeah! / And I go to war for two thangs, challenge me, for what?/ My mothafuckin cheese, my mothafuckin family/ Understand me, I ain't tryin' to tell you war ain't the lick, but in the streets, you need your heat, or get your wig split/ Strategize, militent minded, timin' it perfect on the attack/ Throw the distraction in the front, comin’ thru dumpin' from the back/ Yeah!
-Chorus-
-Layzie Bone-(Flesh n Bone)-
Hut, two, three, four ...(I’m ready to pull out and ride, ride, ride, ride/ We're ready to pull out and ride, ride, ride, ride)/ Ready, you're dead
-Flesh n Bone-
Yeah/ I'm comin' to test you niggas fate/ See how many are prepared for Armageddon, soon to be Judgement Day, still it's a big mistake/ How many been face to face with death before?/ Tell me, how does it feel?/ Real nervous?/ Cause everybody's ready to kill if it's my will/ Step outta my battle/ Quit lookin' or I might have to smoke you when I roast you with this beam/ Focus you through my scope, mo murdered/ Mighty, mighty warriors, some of the mighty, mighty trues still on the rise/ If you wanna test, you die, then I might make the news/ We stompin' in steel-toed boots and suited up in fatigues, killin' off every fucking army, throw up the white flag and retreat/ So many soldiers, so many stories of war/ But what is it good for?/ Nobody knows, and what if the world is over in two triple zero?
-Chorus-
-Wish Bone-
Now see, if thangs don't change, I think we all gon' die/ Who's to say they wrong or right?/ You pushin' the button, not I, but we die, that's why I'm gatherin' up my soldiers, soldiers/ Mo Thug, mine are prepared for war, because it's over (Over)/ Red light, red light, we could ride or die/ It's gon' be casualties, so be ready to ride. nigga say it again, it’s gon' be casualties, so be ready to ride/ And I got your back (Back, back) if it goes like that (That, that)/ Mo Thug ready to ride, if it goes like that, then we all gettin’ papped, papped, papped/ Yeah, yeah
-Chorus-
