[Verse 1: CodeMan]
I am ready to fight in the war
Open-heart surgeries, back to the board
Map out the battle, just 2 shots
Is all it takes to win against this foe
But no, we're looking at 7
40 minute seizure, Lord in Heaven
I call to you, please God
Give me the strength to pull on through it
Full of sickness, I mean this condition
Load the clip, stick it to the lips of the competition
Kiss your wishes goodbye, goodbye
You all look suspicious, keep your distance
Or get wetted up like cleaning dishes
EKGs and x-ray visions
Just some things to keep me alive
Dr. Owens, I need backup
The frontline is turning flat enough
To call this the end, but I can't
Surrender to them, a win is a must
I clutch the cross hanging on my chain
With the dog tags that states my name
Bow and pray and simply say
"It's time" I stand and spray
That AK all across the place
Then I wake up, and I look and see
My family waiting for me
My family is waiting for me
I saw a tear in my dad's eyes
He saluted me and I asked him why
Cause you fought for your life
An Army of One, son, yeah
[Hook: CodeMan]
Soldier!
Come on and fall in line
You're the leader of this battle it's your time to shine, cause you're a
Soldier!
The war has just begun
But I know you won't stop until your day is done, cause you're a
Soldier!
I know you've done it all
But don't make this last battle be your very last call, cause you're a
Soldier!
I'ma tell everyone
That I have a son
And he's an army of one
[Verse 2: CodeMan]
Reigning supreme has become an addiction
Its affected me to Inflict this friction
d**h is sick of my condition
So we tango like a dance competition
2 steppin' to live this life
Hit the mic and speak and my mind
Tweak the rhymes so it seeps inside
The ears and eyes of all that hide
From the fact that I am blessed
The hunger in me is all that's left
So I'ma battle my way to be the best
Man I can, so what you expect?
I ain't gotta be co*ky
Cuz I know that God has got me
Yeah, God you got me!!
Then let's rock this body
Of people, here for the sequel
To that war painted on the easel
Bloodshed splattered on the steeple
Of broken hymns, neon cathedral
Ha, Macklemore
Here's my return, I'm back for more
A soldier who attacks and sores
Yeah, I soar
High above the clouds
I'm looking down and all around
See the aftermath of the fight that's now
The talk of the crowd
CodeMan will forever be
A legend of that surgery
My story is urgency
So I climb to the top and then I scream
[Hook]
[Bridge: CodeMan]
I will never break
No I will never break
You'll never take away that fight in me
And Yes, I'm here to stay
Yes, I'm here to stay
You'll never take away that fight in me, NO!
I got that, I got that, I got that pride in me
I got that, I got that, I got that pride in me
I got that, I got that, I got that pride in me
I got that pride in me!
[Verse 3: CodeMan]
I tighten up my boots, ready for that final war
With the weapon I use, lyrics right from my core
Right from my heart, Fight with my heart
To my enemy, don't try and compete for
This throne and crown
Attempt it, you'll get thrown around
The entire town, the entire town, the entire crowd, the entire crowd
Will start chanting the name
C-O-D-E man, the champ in the game
I'm prancing the stage
With the belt and the reign
As I belch out the flame
I felt it and gained
The graces of God
I look to the sky and then I nod
I close my eyes and my heart throbbed
I know why I won against the odds
I'm a soldier!
