They pray four times a day, they pray fiveMadvillain – Strange Ways
Who ways is strange when it's time to survive?
Some will go of they own free will to die
Others take them with you when they blow sky high
What's the difference? All you get is lost children
While the bosses sit up behind the desks, it cost billions
To blast humans in half, into calves and arms
Only one side is allowed to have bombs
It's like making a soldier drop his weapon
Shooting him, and telling him to get to stepping
Obviously, they came to portion up his fortune
Sounds to me like that old robbery/extortion

Man summed up the entire Iraq war in one verse :wow:
One of my favorite verses ever. This and the 2nd verse from Jeru's "jungle music". Every line meant so much. I remember first hearing songs from from Madvilliany on WKCR in 2004. So I was using Soulseek back then(still is haha). I downloaded the album and thought it was dope, but felt like the mp3 sounded like trash. I must have downloaded it 5-10 different times and every mp3 sounded like complete shyt. So I bought the cd(I still have it) and when I listened to it, I discovered the mp3s weren't the problem. The album seriously sounded like it was recorded on a handheld tape recorder. But I LOVE IT!!!! One of my top 20 favorite hip hop albums ever
