[Verse 1]
Yeah, U.N.I.Verse
[D]At war[G][D]
U.N.I.Verse (when you and I verse)
At war motherfucker
[G]We gonna do [C]this Chi- town style
(verse at war)
[D]Illadelph, you know how
we get down
You know the business
(Illtown illanoid)
Bringin it straight to your chest
(comin thru with the iller category)
[F]Yessah, [D]hah, yeah (preacher man
with the Com)
Break it down one two (we about to
drop a bomb, check it)
When [F]you and I [C]verse at

[Verse 2]
[D]war
(U.N.I.Verse at War)
And your verse at core, for what
you thought before
Steppin up into a [F]zone you
[C]should never explore
The next level or,
level [D]of the [F#m]whole conceptor
When [F]you and I [C]verse at [D]war
(U.N.I.Verse at War)
And [C]your verse at [D]core, for what
you thought before
Steppin up into a [F]zone you
[C]should never explore
The next level [D]or,
level of the whole conceptor
Check it, [C]rappers Get on [D]the mic talk

[Verse 3]
about
cars and clothes
Sounding like hoes
Ain't been [F]ex posed to the
[D]foes,the moes, discip[C]les
I'm from the state that [D]is Ill,
the rap son of man
Ro[F]tated down [D]to Phil, to say what I feel
Get it off my bird chest,
my word becomes flesh
[F]War, going on between
the [D]West and the [C]East
Of [D]the land, niggas don't own a piece
Grease is the [F]word,
Murray [D]slides some pimp oil to me
My lady friend sneaks my
beer in the movie
Throw [F]your hands in the air,
[D]if you the true [C]an d living
[D]Beware, the new [C]world order, the
[D]devil's new reli[F#m]gion
Sent [F]my homey to [D]the number
two division
Sellin bootleg movies,
got my VCR on a ove' smove'
Be at Fat Tuesday's,
drinkin tropical it's just sittin
At a table with sophisticated [F#m]bitches
[F]Nah that ain't [D]nothin I
would call my [C]mother
Nor do I [D]call every nigga my brother
Gotta [F]have Black [D]Thought,
it's sorta B like Malik
So don't Question a Brother,
to the Roots I get deep
Yo, enter the [C]last era Your schol

[Verse 4]
[D]
arship into [C]the world
of polit[D]ics
And mascara,
we operate within this artificial op- era
I bring hip- hop [C]terror like the Fuhrer
The Ace Ven[D]tura into [F#m]the horror
[F]Laboratory laborer,
ven[D]ture beyond [C]the border
I'll struc- ture a style [D]des
troy your whole aura
Plus [F]you're [C]a- drenal
[D]in'll rise before your eyes
And mortalize, my image hit the skies
De[C]ceive the dev[F]il in disguise
[C]My music I p[D]are[C]nthesize
[D]Represent the wise,
through this be how we enterprise
Kid no [F]compromise[C]
(yeah, yeah) I'm thinkin fast like Rama-
Dan, I wear your mind away [D]like Alzheimer
I pull [F]a mic up out my bomber
big [D]up to Bahama-
[C]Dia, A- [D]O this year we leavin
em in trauma
Then after [F]me, I plan [C]to leave behind,
the legacy
Or history of the family,
the [D]fifth dynasty
For hu[F]manity, [C]to bear witness [D]to this
Del- val- syllable stylist
You know the time kid
[F]When you and I [C]verse at

[Verse 5]
war
(U.N.I.Verse at War)
And your verse at [D]core, for
what [C]you thought before
[D]Steppin up into a zon[F]e you
should never ex[D]plore
The next level or,
level of the whole conceptor
When [F]you and I [C]verse at war
(U.N.I.Verse at War)
And your verse at core, for
what you thought before
[D]Steppin up [F#m]into a zone[F]
you should [C]never explore
The next level [D]or,
level of the whole conceptor

[Verse 6]
Yo, the general flows, [D]kids
compose on tablet
Expose how they was average
And they thoughts not rapid
Here [C]comes the hot package,
through [D]your block like traffic
The rock was typed graphic now
watch the mic blast [F]it
Shootin at the [C]stars with
emphatic rap static
See the mirror shatter [D]from thoughts,
I'm bustin back at it
The Lieuten- ant, the ele- phant,
sippin automatic
Mic, rippin asiatic,
architects out to have it
[F]The turn of the [C]century,
the planet's like a penitentiary
Exaggerated,
[D]niggas is livin highly medic[F]ated
[C]I Used to Love Her [D]but now
she viol[C]ated
[D]Hip- hop holocaust and camps,
old champs are concen[F]trated
[C]They outdated and incarcerated
Loved and appreciated hated
[D]and very debated
[F]For every [C]career created
[D]was elimin[C]ated
And [D]that's the way the balance
of yin and yang related
Every Block is divine [C]Niggas swing

[Verse 7]
on in a safari
Wild niggas, like I'm [D]high on [C]latari
Some let the block, block [D]they mind,
if they could see what I [C]see
Get out the city for a sec
be at the [D]places I be
Hey, [F]I'mma be back on the [D]deck,
opening
Business [C]in places for you
[D]to cash your check
[F]My, neck of the woods ain't
[D]all good ain't all bad
You can live in the
burbs, and still get had
The sad [F]part about [C]it niggas had
[D]houses on the lake
[C]They tryin to move us out,
[D]the land we ain't appreciate
[F]For peace we skate,
crackers [C]be rollerblading on hate
Call each other cuz cause
[D]of how we relate
I see [F]way too many [D]Cadillacs
with dope man plates
Through [C]the wind and blow- ups,
is how nig[D]gas communicate
Har[F]monizing [D]through
beeper and reefer
The city got [C]my peoples in [D]a sleeper,
talk is getting cheaper
When [F]you and I [D]verse at

[Verse 8]
