about

This song is dedicated to all those who are STILL strugglin' EVEN WITH BARACK OBAMA in the White House.

lyrics

BATTLEFIELD LOVE

It’s a battle ya’ll, almost everyday
Yet it seems like things ain’t goin our way
Sometimes I wanna give up, so I pray
God give me strength, that’s what I say

Tell me How do I cope in a world like this ?
Where the enlightened suffer and ignorance is bliss ?
You can see it financially, substancially
At Wall Street where the bankers be

We ALL need a bailout, am I a sellout
When FUCK A BLACK PRESIDENT is what I wanna yell out ?
Yea BARACK OBAMA you won once more
We gave you another four, but what about the poor ?

He’s Starting War After war, so everybody’s sore
Cause we thought Peace And Love was at his core
Family’s are suffering, Still losing thier homes
Innocent are still dying, while he buying more drones

And I see it and it hurts cause we’re all alone,
Cause every place on the planet is a war Zone
Hopelessness and despair is what people feel
But like that singer once said “LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD”

It’s a battle ya’ll, almost everyday
Yet it seems like things ain’t goin our way
Sometimes I wanna give up, so I pray
God give me strength, that’s what I say



We gotta connect with nature, eat of the earth
But they genetically modifying everything in the dirt
We gotta stay alert, Which takes alot of work
Use our minds All the time, so we don’t get hurt

The reality that society is creating
Is a matrix where most are TOXIC and HATING
FROM GLOBAL WARMING, CLIMATE CHANGE and hurricanes
To mass incarceration and people living in chains

It’s kinda Strange, But I try not to complain
Just keep an umbrella, in case it rains
Invoke my inner-being, Illuminate the light
Percieve Abundance and hope it’ll be alright
It sounds much easier than it really is
I need a blue pill, in a world so negative
My legs are tired, but I continue to run uphill
With my heart in my hands, cause LOVE’S A BATTLEFIELD

It’s a battle ya’ll, almost everyday
Yet it seems like things ain’t goin our way
Sometimes I wanna give up, so I pray
God give me strength, that’s what I say
