Battlefield

Life is a battlefield...

[Z-Ro:]

I pledge allegiance to the soldiers, the ones who had to leave they family

Overseas facing death everyday, missing they family

Knowing that everybody that's going, ain't coming back

My roll dog, took his last stand in Iraq

Watching his mama collapse, cause she can't take the news

And it's sad to say, but a lot of mothers gon walk in Mrs. Johnson's shoes

So my condolences, goes out to the grieving

Lord give me the strength, so I can make it through this evening

What is this world coming to, locking up brothers is a sport

Beat us till we bleed because we breathe, still we lose in court

Mad at me because I'm black, take it up with my maker

You can't question creativity of the life, giver and taker

I guess, you gon have to deal with me

Why you wondering if I wanna rob you, why not find a way to come and chill with me

I ain't nothing but people, I'm just like you

Nothing greater or nothing less, I'm just like you

[Hook: Tanya Herron]

We are one, shoulder to shoulder

We stand, no promises

No demands, all of us know it

Life is a battlefield

[Tanya Herron:]

We're losing our souls, temptation takes hold

Why do we live, life this way

We must take control, of our mind and our souls

Before the death, over face

Cause if we just surrender, and trust in our faith

We'll all come together, the world will be safe

[Hook]

[Z-Ro:]

I'm on a mission, to heal my people

Republicans ain't even trying to feel my people, we starving for real

Little babies dying of thirst, plus they starving for meals

The main reason, why these teenagers be robbing they peers

America, look at what it's come to

Sunday morning ain't no youngsters in the church house, we running the streets acting a fool

Need to get some Jesus, in our life

That's the main reason, why we be dealing with so much shife

Straight up kicking it with the devil, and we don't even know it

Crooked cops hate our guts, and everytime they get a chance they gon show it

My life is a battlefield, cause I strive to survive

Daily busting, trying to lay me in my grave before my time

I can take it, cause I dish it out

I love my people but I'm paranoid, walk up on me my pistol I'ma whip it out

Can't trust nobody, from my friends to my kins

If I can get up and go get mine, you can get up and get your ends

It ain't hard, just man plot and strategize

If you focused on your goal, you just might reach it 'fore you die

So I'm focusing just like you, cause I'm just like you

Nothing greater or nothing less, I'm just like you
