Life is a battlefield |
| [00:26.34] |
I pledge allegiance to the soldiers, the ones who had to leave they family |
| [00:29.02] |
Overseas facing death everyday, missing they family |
| [00:31.52] |
Knowing that everybody that's going, ain't coming back |
| [00:34.44] |
My roll dog, took his last stand in Iraq |
| [00:36.32] |
Watching his mama collapse, cause she can't take the news |
| [00:38.81] |
And it's sad to say, but a lot of mothers gon walk in Mrs. Johnson's shoes |
| [00:42.50] |
So my condolences, goes out to the grieving |
| [00:44.94] |
Lord give me the strength, so I can make it through this evening |
| [00:47.68] |
What is this world coming to, locking up brothers is a sport |
| [00:50.36] |
Beat us till we bleed because we breathe, still we lose in court |
| [00:52.79] |
Mad at me because I'm black, take it up with my maker |
| [00:55.60] |
You can't question creativity of the life, giver and taker |
| [00:58.03] |
I guess, you gon have to deal with me |
| [01:00.35] |
Why you wondering if I wanna rob you, why not find a way to come and chill with me |
| [01:03.98] |
I ain't nothing but people, I'm just like you |
| [01:06.09] |
Nothing greater or nothing less, I'm just like you |
| [01:08.47] |
We are one, shoulder to shoulder |
| [01:13.51] |
We stand, no promises |
| [01:18.06] |
No demands, all of us know it |
| [01:27.73] |
Life is a battlefield |
| [01:40.59] |
We're losing our souls, temptation takes hold |
| [01:45.88] |
Why do we live, life this way |
| [01:50.88] |
We must take control, of our mind and our souls |
| [01:56.92] |
Before the death, over face |
| [02:01.48] |
Cause if we just surrender, and trust in our faith |
| [02:06.98] |
We'll all come together, the world will be safe |
| [02:16.89] |
We are one, shoulder to shoulder |
| [02:22.14] |
We stand, no promises |
| [02:27.32] |
No demands, all of us know it |
| [02:36.43] |
Life is a battlefield |
| [02:38.42] |
I'm on a mission, to heal my people |
| [02:40.05] |
Republicans ain't even trying to feel my people, we starving for real |
| [02:43.73] |
Little babies dying of thirst, plus they starving for meals |
| [02:46.60] |
The main reason, why these teenagers be robbing they peers |
| [02:48.90] |
America, look at what it's come to |
| [02:51.34] |
Sunday morning ain't no youngsters in the church house, we running the streets acting a fool |
| [02:54.97] |
Need to get some Jesus, in our life |
| [02:56.65] |
That's the main reason, why we be dealing with so much shife |
| [02:59.13] |
Straight up kicking it with the devil, and we don't even know it |
| [03:02.01] |
Crooked cops hate our guts, and everytime they get a chance they gon show it |
| [03:05.25] |
My life is a battlefield, cause I strive to survive |
| [03:07.31] |
Daily busting, trying to lay me in my grave before my time |
| [03:10.31] |
I can take it, cause I dish it out |
| [03:12.31] |
I love my people but I'm paranoid, walk up on me my pistol I'ma whip it out |
| [03:15.87] |
Can't trust nobody, from my friends to my kins |
| [03:18.11] |
If I can get up and go get mine, you can get up and get your ends |
| [03:21.67] |
It ain't hard, just man plot and strategize |
| [03:23.10] |
If you focused on your goal, you just might reach it 'fore you die |
| [03:26.41] |
So I'm focusing just like you, cause I'm just like you |
| [03:28.59] |
Nothing greater or nothing less, I'm just like you |
| [03:31.52] |
We are one, shoulder to shoulder |
| [03:36.21] |
We stand, no promises |
| [03:41.26] |
No demands, all of us know it |
| [03:50.50] |
Life is a battlefield |
| [04:11.64] |
Life is a battlefield |
