2Pac - Ballad of a Dead Soulja lyrics
[2Pac - Ballad of a Dead Soulja lyrics]
Yeah, ballad of a dead soldier
This is the ballad of a dead soldier
This is the ballad of a dead soldier
Come play the ballad of a dead soldier
The plan, to take command of the whole family
Though underhanded
To be the man it was planned
All my road dogs, official mob figures
Love to act up
The first to bomb when we rob niggas
I can be lost in my own mind to be the boss
Only thought's: grip on chrome 9's
Niggas get tossed up, war scars
Battlefield memories
Swore I saw the devil in
My empty glass of Hennessy
Talkin' to a nigga on a tight leash
Screamin' "Fuck the police!" as I
Ride through the night streets
Little child runnin' wild, towards danger
What's the cause? Don't be alarmed
Death to all strangers maybe I'm a madman
A pistol grabbin' nigga, unleash the Sandman
Promise a merciless retaliation
Nothin' is colder close your eyes
Hear the ballad of a dead soldier
Thug for Life, I will be
This is the ballad of a dead soldier
A life of crime I will lead close your eyes
Hear the ballad of a dead soldier
If you play the game, you play to win
This is the ballad of a dead soldier
It's a crazy world full of sin
Close your eyes
Completely lost, revenge at all costs
Payback's a bitch, switched
Now the trick's crossed
Tossed up and never to be heard of
A single witness screamin', "Bloody murder
Murder!"
Blast, tell me, homie, what you see now?
A blind man and a dead body
I'm ready to leave town
And get my cash though, hook up with Kastro
Homie had to blast on the task force
Stupid coppers tried to play us out
Never that they took my money and my stash
Time to get 'em back upon my secret arrival
Two Glock four-fives, time for survival
Death to my rivals – tell me, what you want
Lord?
Nobody left after the death of a drug lord
The situation's critical, nothin' is colder
Than hear the ballad of a dead soldier
Thug for Life, I will be
This is the ballad of a dead soldier
A life of crime I will lead close your eyes
Hear the ballad of a dead soldier
If you play the game, you play to win
This is the ballad of a dead soldier
It's a crazy world full of sin
Close your eyes and hear the
Ballad of a dead soldier
Be a coward, put yo' hands to the moon
When my Glocks rang out, the niggas came out
BOOM! Who wanna see me in a challenge?
So merciless
I'm terrifyin' niggas in my ballads
Do you feel me? Capo or Capi tan
One day I'll be the Don until then
Remain strong
My only fear of death is reincarnation
Bustin' at my adversaries like
A mental patient
To all my niggas facin' 60 years
Sheddin' tattooed tears
Another suicidal on the tier
Takin' private planes
Tryin' to survive the game
For all my homies that'll
Never be alive again
All they promise us is death, nigga
Take a breath, come be the last one left
Nigga
It's real now, feel it or fantasize it
Ain't nothin' colder
Listen, you can hear it – the
Ballad of a dead soldier
Thug for Life, I will be
This is the ballad of a dead soldier
A life of crime I will lead close your eyes
Hear the ballad of a dead soldier
If you play the game, you play to win
This is the ballad of a dead soldier
It's a crazy world full of sin
Close your eyes and hear the
Ballad of a dead soldier
This go out to Kato, Mental
All the niggas that passed away
Mutulu, Geronimo
Seyku – all the down-ass riders
All the niggas that put it down
All the soldiers
All the niggas that go through
That day-to day struggle
(This is the ballad of a dead soldier)
All the niggas that passed on
All the niggas with ambition and
Money in they heart
All the niggas that want some
And that don't take none
Hahaha (It's the ballad of a dead soldier)
The police are so scared of us
All the feds they aware of us
They wanna see us dead
They got pictures of a nigga head
(Ballad of a dead soldier)
Tryin' to see me in chains, shit
Them niggas'll never breathe again
Before they put me in a cell
They'll see me in Hell
(‘Cause it's the ballad of a dead soldier)
Got my pistols cocked
Run the whole motherfuckin' block
Fuck the cops!
The police? We run these streets, nigga
(Ain't heard the ballad of a dead soldier)
These niggas can't see me
Half the world wanna be me
Multi-millionaire, shit, it ain't fair
But nigga
You know – it's the ballad of a dead soldier!
This is the ballad of a dead soldier
This is the ballad of a dead soldier
Come play the ballad of a dead soldier
The plan, to take command of the whole family
Though underhanded
To be the man it was planned
All my road dogs, official mob figures
