This here's a ballad for all the fallen soldiers | |
I'ma bout 'ta show you how a hustlers life (this is life man) | |
And a soldier's life, parallel | |
And the one thing they got in common is pain (forget about me for a second) | |
Picture split screen | |
On one side we got a hustler getting ready for the block (human beings) | |
Other side you got the soldier getting ready for bootcamp (soldiers) | |
They're both at war (this is life) | |
Stay with us | |
Did you ever notice, before you think, life goes fast | |
So don't you worry, about what you see, it will pass | |
You lost him mama, the wars calling him | |
Feel its his duty to fall in line with all of them | |
He's a soldier | |
Rose through the ranks as the head of your house hold | |
Now its time to provide bank | |
Like he's supposed tah | |
Now just remember while he's going to | |
NovemberTheres part of him growing up | |
His shirts soaks up your tears as he holds yah | |
Your heart beatin so fast speeding his pulse up | |
Yeah I know it sucks, | |
Life aint a rose bud | |
A couple of speed bumps | |
You gotta take your lumps | |
Off to Bootcamp, the worlds facing terror | |
Bin Laden been happenin in | |
ManhattenCrack was anthrax back then, back when | |
Police was | |
Al'Qaeda to black men | |
While I was out there hustling sinning with no religion | |
He was off the wall killing for a living | |
Days turn to nights, nights turn to years | |
Years turn to "how the **** we make it in here?" | |
My barracks average couple fights a day | |
Get you locked in a hole wont see the light of day | |
And I feel like | |
I'm just writing my life away | |
I never thought shit could end up quite this way | |
There's a war going on outside no man is safe from | |
I'm here for the good fight only the fakes run | |
I'm here for the purple heart, if | |
I cant take one | |
For my team or my siblings whats my reason for living? | |
I love my niggas more then anything else | |
This war's about my family, me needin the wealth | |
You dont understand how useless as men we felt | |
Till you become a 5 star general | |
Shout out to my niggas that's locked in jail | |
P.O.W.'s thats still in the war for real | |
Your baby boy is getting grown | |
So your baby boy is moving on | |
I've gotta chase (gotta chase it) | |
If I'm gonna make it (gonna make it) | |
Your baby boy is getting grown | |
So your baby boy is moving on | |
I'm gonna make it | |
Even if I gotta take it (gotta take it) | |
Mama said pray your sons becoming a man | |
This wars taxin to 'em like | |
Uncle SamHear the noise make the right choice, understand | |
Every choice that he make he makes it for his fam | |
It's death before dishonour | |
And if hes gone you should honor his memory | |
Dont cry we all gonna die eventually | |
But if he's locked in the penetentiary send him some energy | |
They all winners to me(What's up kid?) |
