Big Business'' is an indictment of capitalization using the prism of street gangs. Gangs, as the song details, don't exist to terrorize, they exist to make money and heaven help you if you get in their way. War Rats'' rails against the constant warfare inside families, neighborhoods and countries. A plea for peace, it's the most intense song on the record. The only hope for any of us, in Cappadonna's opinion, is to get right with God.
Several songs are overt statements of faith.
Not faith in a sweet, grandfatherly deity, but faith in a God who understands that good and evil are as close to us as our own beating hearts.
