"Soldier" lyrics
"Soldier"
Mmmmm
See he's organized
And he's on the ball
Never miss a day of school
And he's a underdog
Wanna learn more and more
'Cause his mama taught him good
He's about to change the face
Of yo ghetto neighborhood
Walking to school today
Saw a brother on the streets
Seem like everything was cool
Except the brother's packing heat
Oop oop
Then everything changed
'Cause he saw his own wings
And his mother was sad
They will last
Time will pass
Stop
What am I talkin' 'bout
Everybody know what this song's about
They be trying to hide the history
But they know who we are
Do-oo you want to see
Everybody rise to this degree?
Raise ya hands high if you agree
Just say Yessireeee ooh
Yessiree
If you agree say
Yessireeeeee ooooohh
Yessiree
Uh
Come on
Uh
Break it down say
Mm, mmhhh
Hey hey (shoop)
Mm, aye
Hey hey (shoop)
Mm, ooh
Hey hey (shoop)
Mm, ooh
Hey
Now to my folks think they living sweet
Well they gone fuck around and push delete
To the girls on prescriptions pills
I know how you feel
To my boys in Iraqi fields
This ain't no time to kill
To my girls in therapy
See I'm a tell you this for free
To my folks up on the hill
With the cake and dollar bills
You need to watch the dirty cop
They the one you need to watch
I'm talking 'bout the dirty cop
They the one you need to watch
Stop
You get the wake up call
When you saw the buildings fall
Bow ties with the Final Call
Get ya money dollar bill y'all
Bow ties with the Final Calls
Get ya money dollar bill y'all
To my folks on the picket line
Don't stop 'til you change they mind
I got love for my folks
Baptized when the levy broke
We gone keep marching on
Until you hear that freedom song
And if you think about turning back
I got the shotgun on ya back
And if you think about turning back
I got the shot gun on your back
BLLAAAA (BLAT!)
What am I talking 'bout
Everybody know what this song's about
They be trying to hide the history
But they know who we are
Do-oo you want to see
Everybody rise to the next degree?
Raise ya hands high if you agree
Just say Yessireeee ooh
Yessiree
If you agree say
Yessiree, hey
Yessiree, aye
Hey, hey, hey
Break it down say
Mm, ooh
Hey hey (shoop)
Mm, ooh
Hey hey (shoop)
Mm, ooh
Hey hey (shoop)

Hey hey (shoop)
Mm, ooh
Hey hey (shoop)
Mm, ooh
Hey hey (shoop)
Mm, ooh
