Soldier - Denace

When he or she is born on this earth, I’ma have to sit em down one day

And explain to 'em you gotta be a soldier

If you’re not a soldier you’re not gonna make it through this war we call life,

so suit up

I’m a soldier

I thought I told you

Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over

I’m a soldier

I thought I told you

Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over

Sometimes life hands you things that you don’t wanna be handed

Like problems that you can’t manage

But you gotta find away to pass em

So gotta keep your head up

Never let up, you’s a soldier

So keep them shoulders up cause the war is almost over

Life is bad and life is great

But obstacles sometimes get in the way

Why’s that the only time we pray

Why can’t we thank God we’re here today

I’m not trying to preach, just saying what I feel

I’m just being me so I’m just being real

Gotta understand the pain concealed

Hurts way more than a pain revealed

Sad or mad just come see dad

I’ll help you out with any problem you have

I’ll be your legs when you need to stand

I’ll give my arms when you need a hand

Just know that I love you, place no one above you

This love is a condition, no matter what it comes to

I’ll never break your heart, I’m never too far

Just look up at the stars wherever you are

I’m a soldier

I thought I told you

Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over

I’m a soldier

I thought I told you

Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over

As you grow older and more of a soldier you learn more

And more when the days are colder

That I’m old June with something like a bolder

Strong enough to hold more weight on your shoulders

Never give up it’s not the way to go

If you wanna be someone, who say no

You can do anything, put your mind to it

Ain’t nothing on this earth that’s impossible

I know you have friends but do things yourself

Try hard to sound not to ask for help

Rely on yourself, not someone else

Cause they might backstab you to well themselves

Maybe one day you’ll have kids too

But try really hard not to make em soon

First comes money, then comes marriage

Then comes a baby in a baby carriage

You don’t want it if you can’t keep it healthy

Cause you’ve got no food to feed it

And both parents gotta be around in the early stages cause that is needed,

needed

Don’t ever sin if you don’t really have to

Step outta line, then I’ma have to slap you back in your place

So you don’t make the same mistakes that daddy had made in his days

I’m a soldier

I thought I told you

Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over

I’m a soldier

I thought I told you

Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over

Don’t be scared I’m always here

I’ve got your back and I don’t care who it is that bothers you

They bother you I’ll kill em, yeah

Here’s some advice, if they hit you once you’ve gotta hit twice

You’re a soldier right

If you fall down get right back up

Brush yourself off and don’t give up

Don’t shed a tear, never show any weakness

Best ever offense is your defense

Keep your guard up from all the demon’s

The people around you are always scheming, trying to hurt you in anyway they can

Act friendly till you turn your back

So watch for the snakes cause they’ll bite you bad

Got any questions, just ask your dad

I’m a soldier

I thought I told you

Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over

I’m a soldier

I thought I told you

Keep my head above water 'fore it’s over, over
