Intro (John Piper):
I hear so many Christians, murmuring about their imperfections, and their failures, and their addiction, and their shortcomings. And I see so little war! Murmur, murmur, murmur. Why am I this way? Make War!
Verse 1 (Tedashii):
Bang with me/ba-bang bang, ba-bang with me/
No more playing games mane/cause this thang can get risky/
So mane if you in Christ /Take up!!/ your cross quickly/
Stand fearless on the frontline/time to come with it/
Do the right thing wake up!!/ and lets get it/
I ain't even in the ring/they throwing bows like Riddick/
Persistently attacking me/they're even in the back of me/
It's either fight or loose my life and I can't take this passively/
So what you think I'm bout to do/I'm bout to do what I can do/
Trust the one who got me through/and fight like it was after school/
Never giving up/steady, standing on the battle field/
Feet firm to the ground like I stepped on Chappel Hill/
Flesh feeling frisky, sin persuades and tempts me/
Satan cheers me on/guilt followed by conviction/
It's the same ol' trap/and we fall like we defenseless/
Work your senses/grow in wisdom/stand firm and be relentless/
Hook:
I make war!/Cause sin never sleeps/
It's got me in a trance/you can see it in my dreams/
I make war!/Man I beat my flesh/
to the death/every breath/like I beat my chest/
I make war/sun up/
I make war/sun down/
I make war/time in/
I make war/time out/
I make war/against lust/
I make war/against pride
I make war/against me
I make war/until I die/
Verse 2 (Flame):
Do you even have a clue
What happened to you when He died
When that tomb got rolled when He rose in the sky
I think we emphasis sin so much
That it makes us paralyzed
And glorify struggle so much
That it makes us terrified
And deemphasize the fact that we have been sterilized from our own lives and thus
We gotta snap out of it
We aint in no straight-jacket
We free
When Jesus died in our lives something strange happened
He gave us power
Yeah I know that we sinners but since He rose He's renewing the image of God in us
Now, we gotta start making war
Now we can start saying no
To them fleshy impulses that Jesus Christ is paying for
Now we can start taking the lead
Just like the Dalai Lama and start going all out like a suicide bomber
Whatever the sin is we gotta go go go harder
By His grace no time to waste and just just just like there's no tomorrow

Verse 3 (Tedashii):
I'm a Christ representer, fin to stand and deliver/
cause a lot of my believers struggle with their agenda/
so I dropped this on an Adat /just so you could come play back/
a hit to be encouraged that rocks you with truth from, way back/
so listen up to it Asap /like you do a Lecrae track/
I'm spittin' written visions to put on heads like a wave cap/
sinning, nawl we don't play that/cause that's the way that a slave acts/
I'm filled with the Spirit so tell them dog this is pay back/
as you begin to copy the carbon copies of Christ/
and conform to His written image you should be shinning a light/
if you not, why is that?/
is it fear that's been grippin' you/cause you scared they'll be dissin' you/
flipping birds while that spit at you/
if you not, why is that?/
it don't matter so bump it/perfect love cast out fear and He ain't save us for nothing/
this is a privilege (privilege)/your life to give to Him (give to Him)/
so stand firm for Him dawg and lets get it in/
