War is necessary, war brings pain But war is necessary, war brings peace (what's it is) 'Cause war is necessary, get ya warriors up 'Cause my niggas are war ready War brings hate (Esco let's go let's go let's go) 'Cause war is necessary, war brings pain (Esco let's go) Get ya warriors up 'Cause my niggas are war ready My niggas war ready Staring at the face of my watch, it's like a crystal ball With the ability to make the issue stall I told my man duck, 'cause I know where the missile fall 'Cause the ice is a fortune teller for the rich or small Went to my man's crib who dead and saw his picture fall I picked it up, his voice whispered, "Nigga, ball!"
