Soldier (feat. Pivot Gang)

[Frsh Waters]

Is this caution a cause?

It's justified in my eyes, sometimes I got God

But other times, other times, we feel like

We wanna let our guards down

That's not how to survive

Never ending cycle of life

Most times, we on guard

[Saba]

Life is fighting while nobody notices

Die a man or live out like the soldiers

Life is filled with answers that make no sense

Live a man or die out like the soldiers

I hope the world learn a value, the life of my unborn, yeah

'Cause what I'ma tell them when the time get here

I'm dyin' from asphyxiation from the weight of the world

While in the waitin' room, waitin' for the birth of my girl

How I'ma be a troop tryna lead a troop of my own?

You know what they do to a home?

That's why I bought this here chrome

Don't need an automatic, not Paula Patton

But two guns, yeah, I thought about it

We caught a cab and like a rally

We drove it through the rain while my girl is in pain

It's not impossible to think that we just made a mistake

'Cause to play the part of father is a sacred art to toddlers

City made a mark upon us, I'ma say that I'm a father

All I can do is pray that they don't make me an example

'Cause safety is something that is not here like a bantu

It's like I'm drafted and I gotta leave the family

I'm just hopin' I return with all my body parts attached to me

Yeah, exactly

Life is fighting while nobody notices

Die a man or live out like the soldiers

Life is filled with answers that make no sense

Live a man or die out like the s-

(Live as a man, we die out a soldier)

[Joseph Chilliams]

I know I'm poor, but I don't wanna go to war

The whole mission, I'll just miss mi amor

In trenches amongst henchmen and gore

Callin' for the Lord like a slave with a sword

Watchin' my back like my ass gettin' fat

Told recruiters right before they shoot us

That I can't differentiate between blue and black

So I conduct a draft and remain intact

In camouflage, I'll still be a snack

Be a star in the desert, like the Bible

Like beautiful girls that have dudes suicidal

They can't shoot me, they tryna shoot they shot

Fuck a bullet and a rifle, and it's too hot

Just imagine when the gun let

Off in the crossfire, more than one death

Scope on my curves like I'm in a sundress

Drones follow me around after sunset

I'm gettin' hunted

[Saba]

Life is fighting while nobody notices

Die a man or live out like the soldiers

Life is filled with answers that make no sense

Live a man or die out like the soldiers

[MFnMelo]

Forgive me, I only meant well

Still fighting every day with myself

Through the land of the fallen while you wait

Awake by the morning, someone prayed

I was told to soak it all in like Sun rays

But the Sun's like a grenade

[Saba]

If all of this can go bad

Then what's the point of tryin'? (Ooh)

Go bad

Then what's the point of it?

If all of this can go-
