YES ... I Declare WAR ... !!!!!

On Those Whose Cause Is YAPPING Jaws ... !!!
YAPPING This And... YAPPING That ... !?!

DISTORTING Facts... I'm Saying Man .....
It's Time To QUIT Or Face Lyrics ...
That DECLARE WAR On Those With FLAWS ... !!!

Those With Consciences That GNAW ..........
Away At Them Like Rats On Boards ... !!!!!
Because Their Flaws Are ABOVE The Norm ...

NOT Sewer Rats But Rats Whose Views FILL UP Boardrooms ...
That SUPPORT Banks Who ... SCAM For Cash ... !!!
It's Clearly Time To Speak My Mind Through Use of Rhyme ...
To Wage A War On THEM For SURE ... !!!

No Time These Days For Making Hay ... !!!
I'm Making Waves With My Wordplay ...

It's Now TOO LATE To Make Dub Plates ... !!!
That Will Rotate And... Get You PAID ...
The Games Now Changed And Re-Arranged ...

If You CAN'T Play LIVE You WON'T Survive ... !!!
Where's The underground NOW In IRAQI Towns ... !?!
Where It's CLEAR Gun Sounds Make Some GET DOWN ... !!!

... Get DOWN REAL FAST ... !!!
WITHOUT James Brown And WITHOUT Nas ... !?!

It's A DIFFERENT Brown That Gordon Clown ... !!!
Who's Leaving FROWNS NOT Beats That POUND ... !!!
The Beats Are Those That BRUISE Young Mouths ... !!!
By Soldiers COLD... From... Foreign Folds ...

U.S. ... U.K. And Those That PLAY ...
NEW AGE War Games While People ... " PRAY " ... !!!

PRAY For ... " PEACE " ... !!!
And LESS Affrays And FOOD To Eat ... !!!

NO MATTER What THEY CLAIM ... !!!
Those Now Sending Men To GRAVES ...
What's The ENDING ... Human PAIN ...
And SUFFERING And RISING Hate ... !?!

While Heads of State FILL UP Their Plates ...
With CASH NOT Food And Oil That's CRUDE ...
I'm Waging WAR As Prices SOAR ...
Because The POOR CAN'T Eat No More ... !!!

This LACK of Humanity's FUELLING ... "INSANITY" ... !!!!!
Like Trav' My FIRE'S Getting HIGHER ...
NO Spenser For Hire Or ... TAXI DRIVER ... !!!
But I May Well FLIP Just Like Travis Bick' ...
And Pick A DIFFERENT Shovel...
That Rumbles YES Through Jungles ...
And Starts Creating TROUBLE...
Because When I Get FICKLE ...
I'll Dig GRAVES Using SICKLES ... !!!!!!

That Wordplay Kinda ... St-umbles ...
Whilst PROVING I Am Humble ...
And READY For THIS WAR ...
With Men Like ... " Uncle George " ... !!!

I'm A Rebel I Guess WITHOUT A Pause ...
Because The Cause Is STOPPING Laws ...
That Now Get PASSED So God Damn FAST ... !!!
That We DON'T Get Reports of Changes In The Law ...
Until It's Time To Face The CRIME ... !?!

... "Sir you've been charged with going too far !
... Who on earth do you think you are ?"

.... "The names Big Virge, you can call me sir !
.... The connoisseur of spoken words !
.... It's clear my verse has left you stirred !
.... Your charge it seems, is fear of speech !
.... Speech that's pure, whilst waging war,
.... on government crews, who are paying you !"

So What's A Guy Supposed To Choose ... ?
A Life of LIES And PURE ABUSE ... ?!?
Come On Now Dude I'd Rather Ensure That I Wage WAR ...
With Words That Move Like Hip Hop Tunes Some Call HARDCORE ... !!!

Well Me I'm RAW And Under Cooked Well That's NOT TRUE ... !!!
But You And Your Crew Are COOKING Books Like Petty CROOKS ... !!!!!
So Let's Get This CLEAR ... You're SPREADING FEAR ... !!!
And It Would Seem That You've Achieved ...
Your Goals QUICKLY Through Fallacies ... !!!!
That NOW Have People On Their KNEES ... !!!
ALL This EVIL KEEPS Them WEAK ... !!!
And UNABLE To Speak Like Me ... !!!

Coherently ... Articulately ...
NO Cain Or Fable Can Disable ...
POETRY That's Just FREE SPEECH ... !!!
FREEDOM of Thought And SO Much MORE ... !!!
What'd You Think I'm Writing For ... ?!?!?

To Get Applause And FAKE Awards ... !!!

You Must NEED A ... "Shrink" ...
... If THAT's Your THING ... !!!

So Is it PRISON For Me Right By The Sea ... !?!
Or A NICE Getaway Hmmm ... Guantanamo Bay ... !!?!!

SIMPLY Because of Words I Say ... !?!
Fair Enough Then Boss Take Me AWAY ... !!!

But There's One More Thing I'd Like To Say .... !!!
If My Skin Was WHITE... Would It Be THAT WAY ... ?!?

Had To Get THAT IN Before My Last Line ... !!!
Your Laws Are CLEARLY ... FLAWED ... !!!!!!!!
As Is Your BOGUS Cause Which is WHY My Words ENFORCE ...
These Words I'll Say ... Once More .....

............... " I Declare WAR " ............... !!!
