Soldier

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 momma taught him good

He's about to change the face

Of your ghetto neighborhood

Walking to school today

Saw a brother on the streets

Seem like e'rything was cool

'Cept the brother's packing heat

Ooh, ooh

Then everything changed

'Cause he saw his own wings

And his mother was sad

They will last, time will pass

'Cause I

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 you want to see

Everybody rise to this degree?

Raise your hands high if you agree

Just say, yessiree, ooh

Yessiree

If you agree, say, yessiree, ooh

Yessiree

Ugh, come on, ugh

Break it down, say

Mmm-mmm, ooh-oh, hey, hey

Mmm-mmm, ah-ah, hey, hey

Mmm-mmm, oh-oh, hey, hey

Mmm-mmm, oh-oh, hey

Now to my folks think they living sweet, yeah

Well, they gon' fuck around and push delete

To my girls on prescription 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'ma tell ya this for free

To my folks up up the hill

With the cake and the 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 your money, dollar bill, y'all

Bow ties with the final calls

Get your money, dollar bill, y'all

To my folks on the picket line

Don't stop till you change their mind

Got love for my folks

Baptized when the levies broke

We gon' keep marching on

Until you hear that freedom song

And if you think about turning back

I got the shotgun on your back, yeah

And if you think about turning back

I got the shotgun for your back

Back

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 you want to see

Everybody rise to the next degree?

Raise your hands high if you agree

Just say, yessiree, ooh

Yessiree

If you agree, say, yessiree, hey

Yessiree, ah, hey, hey

Break it down, say

Mmm-mmm, oh-oh, hey, hey

Mmm-mmm, oh-oh, hey, hey

Mmm-mmm, oh-oh, hey, hey

Mmm-mmm, oh-oh, hey, hey
