Soldier (feat. Pivot Gang)

[00:00.78] Is this caution a cause?
[00:02.53] It's justified in my eyes, sometimes I got God
[00:05.44] But other times, other times, we feel like
[00:08.48] We wanna let our guards down
[00:10.88] That's not how to survive
[00:12.20] Never ending cycle of life
[00:14.00] Most times, we on guard
[00:18.54] Life is fighting while nobody notices
[00:21.72] Die a man or live out like the soldiers
[00:26.16] Life is filled with answers that make no sense
[00:30.08] Live a man or die out like the soldiers
[00:32.55] I hope the world learn to value the life of my unborn, yeah
[00:35.32] 'Cause what I'ma tell them when the time get here
[00:36.95] I'm dyin' from asphyxiation from the weight of the world
[00:39.23] While in the waitin' room, waitin' for the birth of my girl
[00:40.83] How I'ma be a troop tryna lead a troop of my own?
[00:43.00] You know what they do to a home?
[00:44.16] That's why I bought this here chrome
[00:45.43] Don't need an automatic, not Paula Patton
[00:47.01] But two guns, yeah, I thought about it
[00:48.56] We caught a cab and like a rally
[00:49.76] We drove it through the rain while my girl is in pain
[00:51.45] It's not impossible to think that we just made a mistake
[00:53.43] 'Cause to play the part of father is a sacred art to toddlers
[00:55.67] City made a mark upon us, I'ma say that I'm a father
[00:57.59] All I can do is pray that they don't make me an example
[00:59.84] 'Cause safety is something that is not here like a bantu
[01:02.04] It's like I'm drafted and I gotta leave the family
[01:04.13] I'm just hopin' I return with all my body parts attached to me
[01:06.26] Yeah, exactly
[01:08.72] Life is fighting while nobody notices
[01:12.08] Die a man or live out like the soldiers
[01:16.27] Life is filled with answers that make no sense
[01:20.33] Live a man or die out like the s-
[01:22.27] (Living and dying as soldiers)
[01:27.08] I know I'm poor, but I don't wanna go to war
[01:29.01] The whole mission, I'll just miss mi amor
[01:31.08] In trenches amongst henchmen and gore
[01:33.26] Callin' for the Lord like a slave with a sword
[01:35.25] Watchin' my back like my ass gettin' fat
[01:37.37] Told recruiters right before they shoot us
[01:39.52] That I can't differentiate between blue and black
[01:41.50] So I conduct a draft and remain intact
[01:43.47] In camouflage, I'll still be a snack
[01:45.56] Be a star in the desert, like the Bible
[01:47.63] Like beautiful girls that have dudes suicidal
[01:49.79] They can't shoot me, they tryna shoot they shot
[01:51.83] Fuck a bullet and a rifle, and it's too hot
[01:53.98] Just imagine when the gun let
[01:55.23] Off in the crossfire, more than one death
[01:57.41] Scope on my curves like I'm in a sundress
[01:59.44] Drones follow me around after sunset
[02:01.35] I'm gettin' hunted
[02:02.06] Life is fighting while nobody notices
[02:06.06] Die a man or live out like the soldiers
[02:10.38] Life is filled with answers that make no sense
[02:14.48] Live a man or die out like the soldiers
[02:18.60] Forgive me, I only meant well
[02:22.64] Still fighting every day with myself
[02:29.70] Through the land of the fallen while you wait
[02:34.49] Awake by the morning, someone prayed
[02:38.22] I was told to soak it all in like sun rays
[02:42.64] But the sun's like a grenade
[02:44.28] If all of this can go bad
[02:48.25] Then what's the point of tryin'? (Ooh)
[02:55.21] Go bad
[02:57.62] Then what's the point of it?
[03:03.26] If all of this can go
