[CHORUS:]
What do you do when life starts to stress you out,
people sell you out it ain't no other route for a soldier,
keep your head up chest out no doubt, lift your head up chest out,
What do you do when life starts to stress you out,
people sell you out it ain't no other route for a soldier,
keep your head up chest out, momma said lift your head up chest out.
Roll my pain in the swisha sweets, mix my tears in promethazine,
so I can smoke and lean and when the pain gone, ain't no more tears maybe then I can see clear.
Ethier way I'ma soldier I'ma make it, I never run I'ma face it like a man I'ma take it,
ain't no situation too hard for god, momma said it ain't no problem that he can’t solve and that’s coming from a exfien,
how to feel it, especially when I seen her live it I gotta feel it baby
I'ma hold my head up and stick my chest out like I don’t give a fuck no doubt I'ma soldier.
[CHORUS]
This for my niggas that will never see light again, (one time), for give them for there sins, not the homes to pen,
make my worries look so small it ain't nothing else I'ma stand for yall, my niggas.
I wouldn’t know what to do if I was you, and with that being said lets bow our heads,
god please forgive me for my sins, and those the sins against me, give me strength cause now I feel so weak!
I'm sorry for complaining lord knows I'ma gee and, ma problem not bigger then me, but could be!
just think about Katrina so many people died, if that don’t open yours eyes what will!
[CHORUS]
I remember being on the black grinding only thing on my mind was shining,
but fuckin hoes flipping 4s was the go and would do anything even if it meant selling my soul,
now its jays I just grind for a killing, don’t wanna my momma to live sickly, I need a right heel with me.
fuck them rims I don’t need them hoes that shit come n go I put it all on hoes, but momma cant wait she need me now.
and I coming for a speed no doubt we gon make it,
just hold on for me its about too get better just like you told me in those letters hold on it wont be long.
[CHORUS]
