  • Verse 1
    Yo... Ice 

    you been 
    down with 
    the struggle 

    for 
    a long 
    time... 
    man 

    Why don't 
    you drop 
    some knowledge 

    for 
    these brothers 

    Who want to 
    get involved 
    in this 
    war 

    Take 
    notes 
    real 
    gangstas wear trench 

    coats 

    grey suits... 
    black ties 

    And they seek 
    votes 

    and you're 
    not to 
    be misled 

    They'll 
    kill you 
    in your 
    fuckin' 
    bed 

    they 
    don't sell 
    dope 

    Yo, 
    excuse 
    me 

    yes 
    they 
    do 

    but they 
    don't look 
    that much 
    like 
    me 

    Or 
    you 
    but 
    if you 
    pull up 
    the sheets 

    and expose 
    them 

    They'll 
    crawl 
    up like 
    snakes 

    and show 
    fangs 
    of venom 

    Now 
    I've 
    been 
    sol
    dier 

    for years 

    representin' 
    the tat
    tooed 
    tears 

    Other 
    brothas locked up 
    with no 
    choice 

    left 
    in the 
    bowels 
    of devil 

    With 
    no 
    voice 

    phones 
    are 
    tapped! 

    Verse 2
    my crib 
    is 
    bugged! 

    My 
    car is 
    tailed 
    from club 
    to 
    club 

    and 
    this ain't 
    no 
    fuckin' 
    joke 

    They 
    want 
    to see 
    a nigga 
    broke 

    you 
    can't 
    slip 

    if you 
    slip 
    you're 
    out 

    You gotta 
    know what 

    you're 
    talkin' 
    about 

    drop 
    science 

    Every 
    chance 
    you get 

    hit direct 
    and 
    indirect 

    speak 
    in 
    code 

    'Cause 
    you're never 
    alone 

    that's 
    why 
    I use 
    this low 
    tone 

    Follow 
    this 
    and you might 
    grow 
    older 

    this is 
    a message 
    to 
    the soldiers! 

    Message 
    to 
    the soldiers 

    Mes
    sage 
    to 
    the soldiers 

    Message 
    to 
    the soldier! 

    Verse 3
    Now 
    they 
    killed 
    King 
    and they shot 

    now they 
    want 
    me 

    You could 
    be 
    next! 

    all you 
    gotta 
    do is 
    speak 
    too 
    loud! 

    All you 
    got
    ta 
    be is 
    be too 
    proud! 

    cause 
    once you 
    let 
    'em know 

    Who 
    you 
    are 
    and where 
    you're 
    at 

    you 
    better 
    watch 
    your back! 

    Cause you 
    might think 
    you're 
    just 
    dope 

    while you're 
    livin 

    In a sniper's 
    scope 

    I'm not 
    tryin' to 
    scare you 

    but there's 
    a danger 

    If you 
    get 
    too 
    deep 

    some 
    nights 
    don't 
    sleep! 

    all you 
    wanna 
    do is 
    tell 
    the truth 

    all you 
    wanna 
    do is 
    save 
    the 
    youth 

    Ice 
    Cube 
    knows! 

    Souljah knows! 

    PE 
    knows! 

    they throw 
    death 
    blows 

    and 
    if you 
    got kids 
    or 
    a girl 

    that's 
    true 

    they'll 
    move on 
    them 
    too! 

    but 
    when I'm 
    gone 
    I need 

    you to carry 
    on 

    you gotta 
    be strong! 

    and fight 
    for our 
    salvation 

    But there 
    will 
    be re
    taliation! 

    Sol
    dier! 

    this 
    is 
    message 
    to 
    the soldiers! 

    Soldier! 

    this is 
    a message 
    to 
    the soldiers! 

    To 
    think 
    that rap 
    could 
    be attacked 

    Is ig
    norin' 
    the sim
    ple 
    fact 

    that they 
    never 
    meant 
    us 
    to speak 

    They had 
    planned 
    to keep 

    the black 
    man 
    weak 

    but 
    rap 
    hit the 
    streets 

    Black 
    rage 
    amplified 
    over dope 

    beat

    now they 
    want to 
    shut 
    us down 

    And 
    they don't 
    fuck 
    around 

    check 
    the history 
    books... 
    son! 

    Black 
    leader
    s die 
    young 

    they 
    tell 
    us that 
    your words 

    are scary 

    They're 
    revolution
    ary! 

    because 
    we 
    speak 
    the truth 

    about crime 
    and 
    drugs! 

    And expose 
    the real 
    thugs 

    this 
    info 
    is not 
    beneficial! 

    to the 
    groups 
    that go by 
    three 
    initials 

    so they 
    try 
    to dis
    credit 

    they'll 
    dog 
    you with 
    an 
    edit 

    print the 
    words 
    the way 

    you 
    never 
    said 
    it 

    But we 
    gotta 
    make 
    'em regret 
    it! 

    Sol
    dier! 

    message 
    to 
    the soldiers! 

    mes
    sage 
    to 
    the soldiers! 

    word... 
    I know a lot 
    of 
    brothas out 

    there want 
    to get 
    in this 
    war! 

    you know what 
    I'm sayin? 

    A lot 
    of 
    sistas got 
    lot 
    of knowledge 

    to drop 
    on our people 

    But right 
    now 
    they're movin' 
    to 

    shut 
    down 
    all 
    hip- 
    hop! 

    Verse 4
    The first 
    amendment 
    had 
    absolutely 

    nothin' 
    to do 
    with black 
    people 

    At the time 
    constitution 
    was 
    written 

    we 
    were considered 
    nothin' 
    but property 

    the 
    expectation 
    of 
    havin' black 

    people 
    speak 
    on records 

    Never 
    came 
    to 
    mind! 

    so we 
    gotta 
    move 

    but believe 
    me 
    all the 
    black 

    leaders 
    have 
    been silenced! 

    and 
    most of 
    the time 

    It's been 
    violent! 

    so if you choose 
    to get 
    in this 
    war... 

    realize 
    what 
    you're in 
    for 
    but we 

    gotta 
    move 
    on 

    and we gotta 
    stay 
    strong 

    Mes
    sage 
    to 
    the 
    soldiers! 

    Welcome 
    to 
    the struggle! 

    Mes
    sage 
    to 
    the 
    soldiers! 

    Be care
    ful... 


    Outro 1
    Soldier!

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
