No jobs to occupy my time
What else you expect me to do except crime
It ain't stealing if it's something I just find
Refuse to lose with this trouble on my mind
Johnny Law come knocking at my door
But the police don't scare me anymore
I've been in that back seat so many times before
Soldier in the city
I'm a soldier in the city, whoohoo
I'm a soldier in the city
Soldier in the city
Trying to make some cheese outta all of these stamps
Wanna find a queen but all I'm seeing is tramps
Everyday feels like I'm away at boot camp
Badass little kids busting out the street lamps
Neighborhood hustler, come knocking at my door
Gotta pay my debts need to settle the score
I don't want no more trouble from these fellas no more
Soldier in the city
I'm a soldier in the city, whoohoo
I'm a soldier in the city Soldier in the city
Whoo hoo
Soldier in the city
I'm a soldier in the city, whoohoo
I'm a soldier in the city
Soldier in the city
Can you hear me marching?
Left, left, left right left
(Fighting to survive trying to stay alive)
You can hear me marching
Left, left, left right left
(Fighting to survive trying to stay alive)
Can you hear me marching?
Left, right, left, don't you know?
Soldier in the city
(Left, left, left right left)
I'm a soldier in the city, whoohoo
(Left, left, left right left)
I'm a soldier in the city
(Left, left, left right left)
Soldier in the city
