The WAR

How RELEVANT and Timely is P's 1998 "The WAR" Lyrics?

If the government wants 2 put a microchip in your neck, heh heh

We are running out of the essentials of life here on earth!

Underneath in this metropolis, there's food 2 eat, clean air

It's a paradise!

One condition: microchip in your neck.

Would you stay above the metropolis, the microchip city?

Would you stay above and await your fate?

what embmmusic said


not at all. I like the song, it's a jam. But it makes no sense and is not something that is going on. We have been told the government going to put a chip in us for 40+ years. (I was told that ATMs was a step to the mark of the beast--bar codes as well)

and wait is the underground city a good thing or bad?


But we have clean water, clean air, and food (and it is better cleaner and more of it that 100 years ago)


Much like his so called 9/11 prediction I doubt there was any though to this song being a prediction.

"Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!"

"Ain't about the money, it's about the gold
21st century, money just got sold, y'all

You hear me?

Money just got sold, y'all
Check the date.
It's has-been
It's all gone
Your pocketbook is next
It's about the gold y'all" (The War) .

I don´t believe in the conspiracies mentioned in the song but it is remarkable that some of the things have become true already or are becoming true. Microchips under your skin are a perfectly normal thing in Sweden and the users find them quite practical ( for payments, for checking in to work, for their gym membership etc. ) .

And many people are concerned about cash money becoming more and more a thing of the past and that this pandemic is used to help further the spread of paperless money.

" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"
