(CHORUS)

I’m a soldier!
I’m relentless w/ mine!
Stop all the cryin’ ‘cuz I’m not gonna die!
I’m a soldier!
No fear in my mind!
Enemies flee at the drop of a rhyme!
I’m a soldier!
No man can impede!
Conquer your land even if I must bleed!
I’m a soldier!
Armageddon’s gettin’ you scared but I’m bolder…Relentless, just like I told ya'!
A soldier!

There’s a war goin’ on / not talkin’ ‘bout Iran
I’m talkin’ ‘bout the battle that the man’s waged on our own land
Hip Hop being policed
And these suckaz wonder why there could never be peace in the streets
Or why they got beef in the ‘burbs
How these nerds buy CDs, Henny, & herb
And everybody bump Big, Jay, Fifty, & Pac
Five O hear a drum beat / they pull out their glocks
But I’m a soldier!

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Now let me warn you these tales are gory
Our nemesis is slicker than Rick, but I ain’t tellin’ you no Children’s Story
Ain’t the man keepin’ us down
It’s the man’s cops
Who steadily creep in our towns
And survey how we stay makin’ pay so that they can cramp our style
They consider us wild
Like a bastard child
Black Sheep of America
‘Cuz military minds from the hood be scarin’ ya
I’m a soldier!

(REPEAT CHORUS)

I got ‘em wonderin’
Now is he serious?
Is he a soldier, is Scholar delirious?
And when he shows up
Is he gon’ blow up at me?
Is gon’ rush me or let me be?
Yeah, I’ve heard it all before / the perceptions of me
‘Cuz you see
I bring authorities down to their knees
It’s guaranteed
And I ain’t even yet gone gold, It’s been told
I break Hip Hop out of its mold
And guide it to another level ‘cuz I’m battlin’ for bucks and for influence
This ain’t the voice of our innocence
I am the choice of a nation
My true occupation
Getting’ everybody to see
That our patience can wane no longer, it’s time to act
And bring the troops all back, that’s why I choose to rap
Roadmap to a future that
Encourages a different courage than a missile attack
To be a soldier!

(REPEAT CHORUS)
