| This here's a ballad for all the fallen soldiers | |
| I'ma bout 'ta show you how a hustlers life (this is life man) | |
| And a soldier's life, parallel | |
| And the one thing they got in common is pain (forget about me for a second) | |
| Picture split screen | |
| On one side we got a hustler getting ready for the block (human beings) | |
| Other side you got the soldier getting ready for bootcamp (soldiers) | |
| They're both at war (this is life) | |
| Stay with us | |
| Did you ever notice, before you think, life goes fast | |
| So don't you worry, about what you see, it will pass | |
| You lost him mama, the wars calling him | |
| Feel its his duty to fall in line with all of them | |
| He's a soldier | |
| Rose through the ranks as the head of your house hold | |
| Now its time to provide bank | |
| Like he's supposed tah | |
| Now just remember while he's going to | |
| NovemberTheres part of him growing up | |
| His shirts soaks up your tears as he holds yah | |
| Your heart beatin so fast speeding his pulse up | |
| Yeah I know it sucks, | |
| Life aint a rose bud | |
| A couple of speed bumps | |
| You gotta take your lumps | |
| Off to Bootcamp, the worlds facing terror | |
| Bin Laden been happenin in | |
| ManhattenCrack was anthrax back then, back when | |
| Police was | |
| Al'Qaeda to black men | |
| While I was out there hustling sinning with no religion | |
| He was off the wall killing for a living | |
| Days turn to nights, nights turn to years | |
| Years turn to "how the **** we make it in here?" | |
| My barracks average couple fights a day | |
| Get you locked in a hole wont see the light of day | |
| And I feel like | |
| I'm just writing my life away | |
| I never thought shit could end up quite this way | |
| There's a war going on outside no man is safe from | |
| I'm here for the good fight only the fakes run | |
| I'm here for the purple heart, if | |
| I cant take one | |
| For my team or my siblings whats my reason for living? | |
| I love my niggas more then anything else | |
| This war's about my family, me needin the wealth | |
| You dont understand how useless as men we felt | |
| Till you become a 5 star general | |
| Shout out to my niggas that's locked in jail | |
| P.O.W.'s thats still in the war for real | |
| Your baby boy is getting grown | |
| So your baby boy is moving on | |
| I've gotta chase (gotta chase it) | |
| If I'm gonna make it (gonna make it) | |
| Your baby boy is getting grown | |
| So your baby boy is moving on | |
| I'm gonna make it | |
| Even if I gotta take it (gotta take it) | |
| Mama said pray your sons becoming a man | |
| This wars taxin to 'em like | |
| Uncle SamHear the noise make the right choice, understand | |
| Every choice that he make he makes it for his fam | |
| It's death before dishonour | |
| And if hes gone you should honor his memory | |
| Dont cry we all gonna die eventually | |
| But if he's locked in the penetentiary send him some energy | |
| They all winners to me(What's up kid?) |
