Life Of A Soldier

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh
SipTee, I'm him
(Zac got the bass, the 808 slappin')

[Chorus]
Mama struggling, couldn’t help her when she needed it
We had faith but felt like wasn’t no point in keeping it
We prayed every day but wasn’t nobody answering
We prayed every day but wasn’t nobody answering
We live the life of a soldier, I don’t care what they told ya
Them broke days are over, yeah
We live the life of a soldier, I don’t care what they told ya
Them broke days are ovеr, yeah

[Verse 1]
What don't kill me make mе stronger, I’m tryna last longer
Bought my own whip, I ain’t no slave, I don’t got owners
I been through a lot, I guess that’s why I’m still a loner
Feel like the world against me, guess that's why I got this hunger
Didn’t wanna talk 'cause I didn’t feel like they was listening
Put my head down and grab my pen, can’t hold my feelings in
My auntie died, and yes I cried, no, I won’t let the devil in
Not only that, her kids died and I couldn’t comprehend
Couldn’t understand why families die and kids cry
Men lie and women lie
We dress up in suit and tie
Nobody looking eye to eye
Hateful world, I wonder why
You want yo' life, so keep that fire
Life is hard and then you die, uh-uh, uh

[Chorus]
Mama struggling, couldn’t help her when she needed it
We had faith but felt like wasn’t no point in keeping it
We prayed every day but wasn’t nobody answering
We prayed every day but wasn’t nobody answering
We live the life of a soldier, I don’t care what they told ya
Them broke days are over, yeah
We live the life of a soldier, I don’t care what they told ya
Them broke days are over, yeah

[Verse 2]
I’ve been told that don’t none' come fast but a crash
That don’t mean sit on yo' ass, you gotta go and chase that bag
Quan died, it hurt me bad, feel like I lost everything I had
Cousin killed a man, I’m mad, picked up my head 'cause pain don’t last
Everything Quan told me, I’m gon' die with it
I’m living wrong, but I do try to handle my living
I seen my brother family cry, I had to cry with him
If that boy get out of jail, hope he know he gon' die with him
They say we living to die, well, I’m just dying to live
It’s so much hate in my heart, I still don’t know how to feel
You said you was gon' ride, but I still don’t know if you will
I just hate the way we live, it’s still kill or be killed, uh

[Chorus]
Mama struggling, couldn’t help her when she needed it
We had faith but felt like wasn’t no point in keeping it
We prayed every day but wasn’t nobody answering
We prayed every day but wasn’t nobody answering
We live the life of a soldier, I don’t care what they told ya
Them broke days are over, yeah
We live the life of a soldier, I don’t care what they told ya
Them broke days are over, yeah
