Tanya Herron - Battlefield lyrics

Life is a battlefield... [Z-Ro] I pledge allegiance to the soldiers, the ones who had to leave they family Overseas facing d**h everyday, missing they family Knowing that everybody that's going, ain't coming back My roll dog, took his last stand in Iraq Watching his mama collapse, cause she can't take the news And it's sad to say, but a lot of mothers gon walk in Mrs. Johnson's shoes So my condolences, goes out to the grieving Lord give me the strength, so I can make it through this evening What is this world coming to, locking up brothers is a sport Beat us till we bleed because we breathe, still we lose in court Mad at me because I'm black, take it up with my maker You can't question creativity of the life, giver and taker I guess, you gon have to deal with me Why you wondering if I wanna rob you, why not find a way to come and chill with me I ain't nothing but people, I'm just like you Nothing greater or nothing less, I'm just like you [Hook: Tanya Herron] We are one, shoulder to shoulder We stand, no promises No demands, all of us know it Life is a battlefield [Tanya Herron] We're losing our souls, temptation takes hold Why do we live, life this way We must take control, of our mind and our souls Before the d**h, over face Cause if we just surrender, and trust in our faith We'll all come together, the world will be safe [Hook] [Z-Ro] I'm on a mission, to heal my people Republicans ain't even trying to feel my people, we starving for real Little babies dying of thirst, plus they starving for meals The main reason, why these teenagers be robbing they peers America, look at what it's come to Sunday morning ain't no youngsters in the church house, we running the streets acting a fool Need to get some Jesus, in our life That's the main reason, why we be dealing with so much shife Straight up kicking it with the devil, and we don't even know it Crooked cops hate our guts, and everytime they get a chance they gon show it My life is a battlefield, cause I strive to survive Daily busting, trying to lay me in my grave before my time I can take it, cause I dish it out I love my people but I'm paranoid, walk up on me my pistol I'ma whip it out Can't trust nobody, from my friends to my kins If I can get up and go get mine, you can get up and get your ends It ain't hard, just man plot and strategize If you focused on your goal, you just might reach it 'fore you die So I'm focusing just like you, cause I'm just like you Nothing greater or nothing less, I'm just like you [Hook]
