| When he or she is born on this earth, I’ma have to sit em down one day
|
| And explain to 'em you gotta be a soldier
|
| If you’re not a soldier you’re not gonna make it through this war we call life,
|
| so suit up
|
| I’m a soldier
|
| I thought I told you
|
| Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over
|
| I’m a soldier
|
| I thought I told you
|
| Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over
|
| Sometimes life hands you things that you don’t wanna be handed
|
| Like problems that you can’t manage
|
| But you gotta find away to pass em
|
| So gotta keep your head up
|
| Never let up, you’s a soldier
|
| So keep them shoulders up cause the war is almost over
|
| Life is bad and life is great
|
| But obstacles sometimes get in the way
|
| Why’s that the only time we pray
|
| Why can’t we thank God we’re here today
|
| I’m not trying to preach, just saying what I feel
|
| I’m just being me so I’m just being real
|
| Gotta understand the pain concealed
|
| Hurts way more than a pain revealed
|
| Sad or mad just come see dad
|
| I’ll help you out with any problem you have
|
| I’ll be your legs when you need to stand
|
| I’ll give my arms when you need a hand
|
| Just know that I love you, place no one above you
|
| This love is a condition, no matter what it comes to
|
| I’ll never break your heart, I’m never too far
|
| Just look up at the stars wherever you are
|
| I’m a soldier
|
| I thought I told you
|
| Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over
|
| I’m a soldier
|
| I thought I told you
|
| Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over
|
| As you grow older and more of a soldier you learn more
|
| And more when the days are colder
|
| That I’m old June with something like a bolder
|
| Strong enough to hold more weight on your shoulders
|
| Never give up it’s not the way to go
|
| If you wanna be someone, who say no
|
| You can do anything, put your mind to it
|
| Ain’t nothing on this earth that’s impossible
|
| I know you have friends but do things yourself
|
| Try hard to sound not to ask for help
|
| Rely on yourself, not someone else
|
| Cause they might backstab you to well themselves
|
| Maybe one day you’ll have kids too
|
| But try really hard not to make em soon
|
| First comes money, then comes marriage
|
| Then comes a baby in a baby carriage
|
| You don’t want it if you can’t keep it healthy
|
| Cause you’ve got no food to feed it
|
| And both parents gotta be around in the early stages cause that is needed,
|
| needed
|
| Don’t ever sin if you don’t really have to
|
| Step outta line, then I’ma have to slap you back in your place
|
| So you don’t make the same mistakes that daddy had made in his days
|
| I’m a soldier
|
| I thought I told you
|
| Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over
|
| I’m a soldier
|
| I thought I told you
|
| Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over
|
| Don’t be scared I’m always here
|
| I’ve got your back and I don’t care who it is that bothers you
|
| They bother you I’ll kill em, yeah
|
| Here’s some advice, if they hit you once you’ve gotta hit twice
|
| You’re a soldier right
|
| If you fall down get right back up
|
| Brush yourself off and don’t give up
|
| Don’t shed a tear, never show any weakness
|
| Best ever offense is your defense
|
| Keep your guard up from all the demon’s
|
| The people around you are always scheming, trying to hurt you in anyway they can
|
| Act friendly till you turn your back
|
| So watch for the snakes cause they’ll bite you bad
|
| Got any questions, just ask your dad
|
| I’m a soldier
|
| I thought I told you
|
| Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over
|
| I’m a soldier
|
| I thought I told you
|
| Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over |
