[00:24.27]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
