[Verse 1] In the eye of the storm Looking out through the rain Gabe will blow your horn They shield me from Saddam and the hurricane [Chorus] Gangsta ride ride in the nick of time Soldiers stay affronted then they blow your mind Bold ass soldiers marching out for war No idea what we in for Powerful magnificent and so divine Soldiers stay affronted it'll blow your mind [Verse 2] Hear a thunderous voice Shouting there will be no peace Until our people rejoice When every boy and girl is free You see it's going down The war is a mystery But my friends they'll be better days And a better way According to the prophecy [Bridge] It would be so nice To hook up in paradise But all these things must go Or are you in the know Like all the way up so shy You been a friend of mine [Chorus] You been a friend of mine [Bridge]
