FUCK A WAR

*phone rings*

[Hello, could I speak with, Bushwick Bill?]
Hello, this is Bushwick, motherfucking Bill
[Yes sir, I'm calling to inform you that you have been drafted into the United States military]
The United States wants me for what? Hahahaha
[Excuse me sir]
Hahaha
[Bushwick?]
Hahaha, yeah yeah yeah, hey what's up?
[You need to contact your nearest recruiting office immediately please]
I see you're not hip to what's happenin'
I don't give a fuck about you and all that bullshit you stressin'
Fuck a war
To explain, let me kick it to you a little something like this:

[Bushwick Bill]

Motherfuck a war, that's how I feel
Sendin' a nigga to the desert to get killed
Cause two suckas can't agree on something
A thousand motherfuckers died for nothing
You can't pay me to join an Army camp
Or any other motherfuckin' military branch
of this United goddamn States of this bitch America
Be a soldier, what for?
They puttin' niggas on the front line
But when it comes to gettin' ahead, they put us way behind
I ain't gettin' my leg shot off
While Bush old ass on TV playin' golf
But when you come to my house with that draft shit
I'm a shoot your funky ass bitch
A nigga'll die for a brawl
But I ain't fightin' behind no goddamn oil
Against motherfuckas I don't know
Yo Bush! I ain't your damn hoe
The enemy is right here G, them foreigners never did shit to me
All of those wasted lives
And only one or two get recognized
But what good is a medal when you're dead?
Tell Uncle Sam I said

[Willie D]

I ain't goin' to war for a shit talkin' president
Fuck fuck fuck a war

[Bushwick Bill]

In Vietnam a lot of niggas died young
P.O.W.'s got hung
What the fuck do I know about a grenade
All I know is the cops and my 12 gauge
And what if that pin gets stuck?
Several more casualties show up
This shit remind me of a drive-by
More motherfuckers die by accident than on purpose, why?
Cause they don't know what they doin'
They see the coast is clear and they start pursuin'
And that's when that booby trap springs, BOOM!
Blow a motherfucker to smithereens
They send a sucker to your folks, lookin' stupid
tellin' them you died in the line of duty
Or your ass is missing in action bro
Tryin' to be a damn hero
They bring your folks that duffle bag
The only shit they wanna see is that doggy tag
Hopin' that the worryin' will cease
And your ass will be home in one damn piece
But my mom ain't gotta worry about that there
Cause I ain't dyin' in the middle of nowhere
Another statistic, a body in a drawer
Man! mother fuck a war!

I ain't goin' to war for a shit talkin' president
Fuck fuck fuck a war

Ya'll lucky that I ain't the president
Cause I'll push the fuckin' button and get it over with
Fuck all that waitin' and procrastinatin'
And all that goddamn negotiatin'
Flyin' back and forth overseas
And havin' lunch and brunch with the motherfuckin' enemy
I'll aim one missile at Iraq
And blow that little piece of shit off the map
Yeah, I wouldn't give a fuck who it ices
Cause I'm tired of payin' these high ass gas prices
Only the rich benefit, it'll be a cold day in hell before I enlist
To eat shit out a can like a worm
And everyday wear the same fuckin' uniform
Sores breakin' on my funky ass feet
Skin crawlin' cause I ain't took baths in weeks
Not knowin' if I'm comin' home or not
And if I do, I'll probably be shell shocked
I couldn't get a job just a free burial
You know how Uncle Sam treat it's veterans
Absolutely no respect
Get a plate in your head, lose a leg, you might get a check
Or a Goddamn star, you can have that shit
Mother fuck a war!

I ain't goin' to war for a shit talkin' president
Fuck fuck fuck a war.

the enemy right here G

[skyehoyt1971]

Obama is Bush with a tan!!!

[MrMrsteve01]

This is exactly the way I feel.. Common sense all the way..

[RovieB]

Oh and just remembered now...my Dad used to say he would cut my ankles before he would let me go...must've known something my young 1990 mind in high school did not know then. Of course he ALMOST had to go to Vietnam for no reason. Glad he didn't as he might not be here now!

[RovieB]

@ lateralus... Nigger in this sense does mean black people; it also means any of us that are being subjugated by the powers that be, or "the man". We are mostly all pawns in this game of life and they want us to believe that. Rappers like this are true patriots in my eyes; that they have given me the tools to see the deception that is the controlling people of the world. History has not changed much. Any populace that allows subjugation will be enslaved.

[RovieB]

That is why I so respect these guys and their likes; because they have put their own names and selves out there for us. Sure, they got paid,, but they have paid a price, too.

[RovieB]

This song SHOULD BE ON THE MUST HEAR LIST at all public schools, but we know that will never happen! GOD BLESS YOU GUYS and please get back together. The world is ripe for you.

[RovieB]

This song opened my eyes to the truth out there when I was being VERY ACTIVELY pursued by the military. I am a smart person by nature and they wanted me, this song stopped me from enlisting in a real way. Listening to it now reminds me of those days and alll that has happened in my life since then. I could be dead now for no reason. Thanks to you Geto Boys. I mean that in a very sincere way. You are in some way a contingent of the only true patriots that have existed in the last decade.

Hey!

SHUT UP!!

[USBorderGuard]

Democrats + Republicans = Zionists.

[totalstranga]

This song and the whole album was the shit in the summer of '91

[Lateralas]

I love how this song goes on and on about "the nigger on the front line", yet never seems to give a shit about any of the hispanic, white, native americans, or any other ethnicity that are on the front lines as well.

To the author:

I get that you don't support the wars. And I support your position. As a white vet (from the front line) I can tell you this; just as many white boys died to give you the right to make this, as did any blacks. Take that into consideration next time.
