[Verse 1: Sam Turpin]:
The war don't ever end - nope, its still a part of
Everything we see and do, the violence causes strife!
Plagued by hypocrisy and people causing shit -
Mankind needs to cope, there's no time to take the piss!
Thinking they're superior, people try oppress
And its gone subconscious - it needs to be undressed!
Sankara said "he who feeds you, controls you"
So why be controlled if you have your own dreams?
Pursue them everyday to the full-out extent
And happiness will come but the war, it never end...
Eish! No, the war it never end...
Happiness will come but the war it never end!
[Chorus: Sam Turpin] x 4:
(Eish) Eish! No, the war it never end!
Happiness will come but the war it never end!
[Verse 2: Sam Turpin]:
What you gon' do? Try and succeed!
Or just do your best... and see where that will lead!
(where that will lead!) x 4
It will get you the top-top, maybe heaven's gates!
But being at the bottom? Fuck that, need escape!
Gotta be, gotta be the upright man
Or the next to do it big, and take another stand
Against whatever's 'round the corner
Cause you never know...
It could be friend or eish... a foe but we need to lose fear
Face the storm... face the storm!
[Verse 3: Sam Turpin]:
See, a man like me must be cautious 'bout my ways...
I've made some mistakes but now it's time to get paid!
"Whether you're broke or rich you gotta get this!" -
From the "new" South Africa where capitalism is
The psyche of every man living in the north of the country
But in the south of the city! The war don't ever end, nope
It's still upon man! People mining gold but all they see is the sand...
Diamonds that lead -
To children that bleed - and-
Greedy men who think that they can feed -
The broke and the hungry
But he's the pope and he's ugly
And conformity is lies when absurdity ties with-
Waking up, walking up, experiencing life -
But it's all kind of kak and it's never really nice...
Unless you go out, and drink up that sprite -
With something else in it, well, then - you just might -
Forget all your problems and go a little crazy
Forget about the girl with whom you fathered a baby and man...(man)
Shit gets hectic man...(man)
Shit gets hectic (said)
Man...(man)
Shit gets hectic man...(man)
Shit gets hectic (said)
Man...(man)
Shit gets hectic man...(man)
Shit gets hectic (said)
Man...(man)
Shit gets hectic man...(man)
Shit gets hectic (said)
[Verse 4: Sam Turpin]:
See, we play a couple shows but that's really kinda it!
Just so you can dance and make love and shit -
Busted in the toilets, had to be tasered -
Or you're in the club, man blinded by the lasers
But either way -
You're gonna get down with your girl or your guy -
Get low to the ground, yeah I seen that shit -
In a couple high rises!
People line up so they can win a couple prizes but eish (eish)
The greed makes sense...
The war it never end so right now it's kind of tense
(faaaaam the war it never end...nah it never end!)
[Bridge: Sam Turpin]:
Vicious cycles, people causing kak...
Man strung out...on bad luck...
Sometimes it seems like you really need a friend
But nahhh... the war it never end!
[Chorus: Sam Turpin] x 2:
Happiness will come but the war it never end!
(Eish) Eish! No, the war it never end!
[Verse 5: Sam Turpin]:
Can I let loose? Sitting in a taxi...
Confined to myself, yeah this space is a mad thing
Quietly awaiting their every destination...
People ponder thoughts - but don't speak! -
That hesitation has us all by the bags...
I'd rather ride my bike! Breath some fresh air
Maybe take in the sights...but - oh the plight! -
Cause we all need the money...
Moments turn annoying so it's vinegar, not honey!
[Chorus: Sam Turpin] x 7:
(Eish) Eish! No, the war it never end!
Happiness will come but the war it never end!
