The War

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Wale] Look, I just want to make you better I think I could save you But I think I'm bipolar, I love you then I hate you Grew with disdain though I hate whoever ain't you Hate when I can't date you, but I also need my space too I made room for this love, how foolish of me And every woman looking at you knew that you was lucky So check the verse, miss, I ain't say I'm perfect But you was low on love, what I do; reimbursed it And now it hurts to be around or converse with ya And what's worse is before this, I had worshiped you Now war missiles, hand guns, and grenades The walls I couldn't break 'em, or take 'em apart with a tank Now momma told me be careful who you love G said just rap it up, these bitches actin' up And as for us, we was different though, things have gotten difficult Try to be Mr. Perfect intercontinental, hold up You spend your time with your friends all the time And all that time with your friends put my momentum on decline My mind's gone evil, you changed with the season You had a new clear heart, guess I was Hiroshima So now I need some Xanies, some Remy, and some reefer So when this war is over, I'm not PTSD'ing And I don't wanna leave her, but you know what got me wonderin' I'm scared to lose love, but even more scared to love again [Chorus: Daniel Merriweather] Why we gotta argue? Why we gotta fight? I just wanna love you, I wanna make it right It's like we both forgot what we were fighting for So tell me, why are we at war? Why are we at war? So baby, why are we at war? [Seinfield Skit] [Verse 2: Wale] Yeah, they do (whatever they want, whenever they want) And nobody else can stop it I'm catching myself depositing these feelings she withdraw from And I ain't got the gall to tell my Godzilla bye-bye So I'm hurting, my effort is apparent, she not fertile The anger I've adopted, the feelings been aborted So now I press ignore if ever Cupid tried to call up They call me better now, see when everything is stopped And your love's in hindsight, and you see everything it's not Notice everything it wasn't, realizing why it shouldn't ever be again 'Cause in the end it's not about what you put in Fuck kissing and hugging, they love pushing your buttons New love is so beautiful, time just makes it ugly But fuck it, I accept it, no longer will neglect it If a period is late then I will mark it with a question That mean I never trust 'em, and if you ever love them Know that favorite girlfriends turn into crazy baby mommas The war [Chorus: Daniel Merriweather] Why we gotta argue? Why we gotta fight? I just wanna love you, I wanna make it right It's like we both forgot what we were fighting for So tell me, why are we at war? Why are we at war? Why we gotta argue? Why we gotta fight? I just wanna love you, I wanna make it right It's like we both forgot what we were fighting for So baby, why are we at war? Why are we at war? So baby, why are we at war? [Outro: Wale] Just another product of this matrix This maze I'm in amazes me at times I just wanted to be at peace with you And if I gotta settle for a piece of you Then I gotta say peace to you With all due respect, I do respect you enough to expect Effort is all I ask If we gonna last more, I gotta ask for more And if that means that I'm askin' for too much I'm sure we'll end up as our last or past We bash We blast We shoot We lose We pass War
