d.i.t - books of war lyrics

[verse 1]
yo
right off the bat
you gotta know i’m trying
and i ain’t living
by not dying
but i guess thats just lion
tryna care for his cubs
two times overtimed
and still receives no stub

ye
the rat race got us goin so fast
but it won’t last
i’ve seen societies form to crumble
whats to say this one won’t fall into the rubble

i’m ready to rumble
but i’ve seen the way we crash
alcohol and other sins will turn us all to ash
yes it won’t last
memories forgotten to the rhyme
maybe revitalized by poets of the time

ya i’ve seen the paradigm
we’ve run this scan before
billion years of grime and repetitions at the core

so what more
can be expected from us?
we’ll all return to cosmic dust and rust
before a greater gust ends us all by war
so what’s it for?

[chorus]
tao te ching
thirty-six
and five rings
they be the secret teachings
of besieging a king
now, never studied the art of the blade
but i know d-mn well how to feel afraid

[verse 2]
a samurai sword has got me lookin for war
in uproar
i turned to heaven
but it was no fury of a god that had struck me down
it was the man-made cipher of a holy crown
so what goes down in the lions den
should i pray amen to these holy men
naw fuck that, this system needs a revamp
we all be needin wisdom, poets need to come back
we excite the m-sses through-

[chorus]
tao te ching
thirty-six
and five rings
they be the secret teachings
of besieging a king
now, never studied the art of the blade
but i know d-mn well how to feel afraid
and though those times have p-ssed
and swords have been surp-ssed, the ideals are primitive
there is no contrast
between a shot and slash
when a lifes at stake
i believe no god
it’s the choice you make and it’s my mistake if my thoughts are wrong
but who’s the one that put em there for me to write this song
questions come along
taken from a book
that tell of various destruction’s of the lives they took

[verse 3]
this thought is so ambitious
so lemme tell you straight
some books were made by fear and others made by hate
some have guided spears and others guided faith
their all the books of war because they generate the hate

all i knows nothins appeared to lift this weight
how long am i to wait
before everythings erased
advancement of this race
is hindered by these texts

can’t simply stop in place for the rapture to come next
how many of these chapters do we even have to flip before we come to the conclusion if there’s god he fuckin dipped
i shun no man for his belief of the sun
because the sun never told me to fire a gun
