I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier

Yo', never was a thug, just infatuated with guns

Never was a gangsta, 'til I graduated to one, and

Got the rep of a villain, for weapon concealin'

Took the image of a thug, kept shit appealin'

Willin' to stick out my neck, for respect if it

Meant life or death, never live to regret what I

Said, when you're me, people just want to see, if

It's true, if it's you, what you say in your

Rap's, what you do, so they feel, as part of your

Obligation to fulfill, when they see you on the

Streets, face to face, are you for real, in

Confrontation ain't no conversation, if you feel

You're in violation, any hesitation'll get you

Killed, if you feel it, kill it, if you conceal

It, reveal it, being reasonable will leave you

Full of bullets, pull it, squeeze it, till it's

Empty, tempt me, push me, pussies, I need a good

Reason to give this trigger a good squeeze

I'm a soldier, these shoulder's hold up so much

They won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up, I'm

A soldier, even if my collar bone's crush or

Crumble, I will never slip or stumble, I'm a

Soldier, these shoulder's hold up so much, they

Won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up, I'm a

Soldier, even if my collar bone's crush or

Crumble, I will never stumble

I love pissin' you off, it get's me off, like my

Lawyer's, when the fuckin' judge let's me off, all

You motherfuckers gotta do is set me off, I'll

Violate and all the motherfuckin' bet's be off

I'm a lit fuse, anything I do brings in news

Pistol whippin' motherfuckin' bouncers, six-two

Who needs bullets, soon as I pull it, you sweat

Bullets, an excellent method to get rid of the

Next bully, it's actually better cause instead you

Murderin', you can hurt em' and come back again

And kick dirt at 'em, it's like pourin' salt in

The wounds, assault and get sued, you can smell

The lawsuits soon as I waltz in the room

Everybody halts and stops, calls the cops, all you

See is bitches comin' out their halter tops

Runnin' and duckin' out the Hot Rocks parking lot

You'll all get shot whether its your fault or not

'Cause

I'm a soldier, these shoulder's hold up so much

They won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up, I'm

A soldier, even if my collar bone's crush or

Crumble, I will never slip or stumble, I'm a

Soldier, these shoulder's hold up so much, they

Won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up, I'm a

Soldier, even if my collar bone's crush or

Crumble, I will never stumble

I spit it slow so these kids know that I'm talkin'

To 'em, give it back to these damn critics and

Sock it to em, I'm like a thug, with a little bit

Of Pac influence, I spew it, and look how I got

You bitches rockin' to it, you motherfuckers could

Never do it like I could do it, don't even try it

You'll look stupid, do not pursue it, don't ever

In your life, try to knock the truest, I spit the

Illest shit, ever been dropped to two inch, so

Ticky-tock listen as the sound ticks on the clock

Listen to the sound of Kim as she licks on a cock

Listen to the sound of me spillin' my heart

Through this pen, motherfuckers know that I'll

Never be Marshall again, full of controversy until

I retire my jersey, 'til the fire inside dies and

Expires at thirty, and Lord have mercy on any more

Of these rappers that verse me, and put a curse on

Authorities in the face of adversity, I'm a

I'm a soldier, these shoulder's hold up so much

They won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up, I'm

A soldier, even if my collar bone's crush or

Crumble, I will never slip or stumble, I'm a

Soldier, these shoulder's hold up so much, they

Won't budge, I'll never fall or fold up, I'm a

Soldier, even if my collar bone's crush or

Crumble, I will never stumble

Yo' left, yo' left, yo' left, right, left, yo'

Left, yo' left, yo' left, right, left, yo' left

Yo' left, yo' left, right, left, yo' left, yo'

Left, yo' left, right, left
