Civil War (Lavender Town)

(album: Nostalgia For The Now - 2016)

Civil war
It's a fucking civil war
We be aiming for the peace
So what we killing for?
Anymore, what we even living for
They be murdering for peace
That is a civil war

You know they be looking at me right now
Like a pair of scissors, man, better pipe down
I been trying to write my essays
Trying to write a wet page
I could [?] construct it right now
Blue's Clues, man, I think I gotta find out
Every question, man, I really wanna hide out
Or I wanna drop out
Maybe learn a lot 'bout
My shit before I wait to see it die out
Damn, I just wanna go along
I'm holding strong
I know I'm not the boldest one
I'm old enough, I'm growing up
Bars are sick, they're throwing up
They know what's up
I'm in the really big leagues
Like I got drafted
Before the year-round hype over March Madness
Wanna get it with these girls
Throwing down like it's no big deal
Like we taking liberal arts classes
They be saying damn then really got savage
No, but unlike you, I am not average
I'm neither above or below it
But who gives a fuck because I still got past it
I do my job and I do my work
Trying to connect the dots of the universe
Trying to fight for the peace
For a piece of the people
And equality for the humans first

Civil war
It's a fucking civil war
We be aiming for the peace
So what we killing for?
Anymore, what we even living for
They be murdering for peace
That is a civil war
Civil war
It's a fucking civil war
We be aiming to the peace
So what we killing for?
Anymore, what we even living for
We be murdering for peace
That is a civil war

And I can name a lot of things that nobody else would say to ya
And this ain't a fucking game so just know that I won't play with ya
So y'all better go ask Meek if he'll pray for ya
'Cause I won't pray for ya

I'm addicted to the screen and the validations
Of people who are thirteen and in another nation
I've been looking for the sender of a message
Or the commenter on a video
It seems to be the worst
Like Internet track meets
They erased it
Look at this shit
I've just recently made it
That how it goes when I'm breathing and breathing
Acheiving and keep on succeeding, they hate it
You're lousy and can't breathe when you smoke, bro
You doubt me, but you'll see where I go, so
Allow me to break free from my own dome
Together we need to believe in my own zone
Things become intense in the heat of the ozone
It's surrounding me, I need to go home, so
Can I pretty please just be al-alone
Nobody to retweet, delete on my home phone
I ain't gon' hop on that drug trend
When they all claiming they love it
I ain't gon' hop on that loud trend
They all know I ain't about it
They cannot take this away until they have something to say now
You cannot order this shit on a takeout
All of these bitches is fake now

Civil war
It's a fucking civil war
We be aiming to the peace
So what we killing for?
Anymore, what we even living for
They be they be they be
Mur murdering
Civil war

Civil war
It's a fucking civil war
(And I can name a lot of things nobody else would say to ya)
We be aiming to the peace
(And this ain't a fucking game so just know that I won't play with ya)
So what we killing for?
(So y'all better go ask Meek if he'll pray for ya)
Anymore, what we even living for
They be murdering for peace
('Cause I won't pray for ya)
That is a civil war
