Just a kid on his own
just tryna get by
Cause his parents not home,
cause they out getting high
So he goes to the store
tryna steal something fly
But he gets bored,
now he's on the juvenile ride
And he's placed in a home,
and he talks on the phone
In a whole 'nother world
cause he thinks that he's grown
So he comes off the waste
and shanks up a face
But little does he know that's a
whole 'nother case
That's a soldier,
been in every kind of jail
Even taught himself to read,
nigga sharp as a nail
He don't smile that much,
he don't like to be touched
I mean, a nigga hard,
see him out in the yard
Doing fifty a clip,
something crazy on the waste
They heater real reason they
glued all the plates
Nigga got no fear, every nigga on the tier
From the warden to the guard
show him love I swear
He done put in his work,
he been working the floor
In the library every day learning the law
So he goes to the board
and they let him come home
But gave him parole even though
that he's grown
Stay with the hammer,
the twenty- two long (that's a soldier)
Going to war even though that he's
wrong (that's a soldier)
Don't give a fuck what side you
on (that's a soldier)
You ain't his fam 'less you there
when he's born (that's a soldier)
And he don't care what time it is
(that's a soldier)
He getting up quick to handle his biz
(that's a soldier)
Millionaire nigga that's moving that
raw (that's a soldier)
And you ain't even know he lived next
door (that's a soldier)
Now the streets ain't the same,
it's a whole 'nother game
It's a lot ta new names and a
lotta new chains
Lil' niggas on the block with
pela- pelas
Diamonds in their mouth, sitting on chrome,
talking on cellies
Big funny- shaped
Benzos, big Lorenzos
Homie getting tired of just rocking
his Timbos
Bitches running around
with fat asses
Only giving pussy to these niggas
with nice- ass glasses
Damn should change,
how this pussy nigga get him a Range?
These lil' niggas now
working with change
He like 'Fuck that,
something gotta give where I live'
These niggas gon' break bread or niggas
is dead
Aiyyo, now he already violated
cause his urine is dirty
And he already got a hammer,
he just watching a birdy
These lil' niggas don't know
the homie seven- thirty
And they don't really don't care,
they shoot just as fast
Niggas coming round the block,
they better not be ass
Duke a soldier,
he tried to tell homie who he was
What he does, laughing, lighting a blunt
These lil' niggas like 'Yeah?
Now what you want?'
Showed his gun handle,
point the O.G. to candles
Tell 'em that could be him,
now beat your Timbs
Homie clapped at 'em, point
the MAC at 'em
It's getting crazy now, but fuck it,
it's a soldier in
town
