Erykah Badu - SOLDIER lyrics

Mmmm See he's organized And he's on the ball Never miss a day of school And he's an underdog Wanna learn more and more Pa and mama taught him good He's about to change the face Of yo ghetto neighborhood Walking to school today Saw a brother on the streets Seem like everythang was cool Said the brother's packing heat Oop oop Then everything changed Cause he saw his own wings And his mother was sad They will last Time will past Cause I Wondering we're talking bout Everybody know what dis song's about They be trying to hide the history But they know who we are Do oh you want to see Everybody rise to this degree? Raise ya hands high if you agree Just say yes siree oh Yes siree If you agree say Yes siree oh Yes siree Ugh Come on Ugh Break it down say Mmmm, mmhh Hey hey (shoop) Mmmm, aye Hey hey (shoop) Mmmm, oh Hey hey (shoop) Mmmm, oh Hey Now to my folks think delivery sweet Well they gone f** around and push the leap To the girls on prescriptions pills I know how ya feel To my boys in Iraqi fields This ain't no time to k** To my girls in therapy See I'm a tell you this fo' free To my folks up on the hill With the cake and dollar bills You need to watch the dirty cop They the one you need to watch I'm talking bout the dirty cop They the one you need to watch! Stop! You get the wake up call When you saw the buildings fall Bow ties with the final call Get ya money dollar bill ya'll Bow ties with the final call Get ya money dollar bill ya'll To my folks on the picket line Don't stop 'til you change they mind I got love fo' my folks Baptized when the levees broke We gone keep marchin' on Until you hear that freedom song And if you think about turning back I got the shotgun on ya back And if you think about turning back I got the shot gun on ya back Bla (Black!)
