Soldier's song, marching on, on
Hoping to see home if I die before I
See your smile just one more time
Sometimes I question whether
This shit matters
Puttin' substance into something in
A world so used to instant gratification
I found this instrumental on my phone
While on vacation
Ib sent it a year ago or so
I probably heard it before, but slept on it
You know? Shit don't always connect as soon
As you press play
At times you gotta step away, do some livin'
Let time provide a new prescription
Givin' truer vision
I dibble dabble in a few religions
My homie constantly telling me 'bout Quran
Puttin' me on i read a few pages and
Recognize the wisdom in it
But I ain't got the discipline
For stickin' with it
Now I'm on the way to London
Got a show for seven digit's
I'm wonderin' just when did I
Become my biggest critic?
I wanna be my biggest fan
Like how I was when didn't
Nobody know my jams
Today my son said, "Dad, let go my hand"
Reminded me one day he's gonna be his own man
And my job is to make sure he's equipped
I gotta make sure he not no bitch
'cause niggas bound to try him
If I said I was the toughest growin' up
I would be lyin' i had a fear of gettin'
Punched while everybody eyein'
Add to that a constant fear of dyin'
By gunshot wound
The other violent type of endings
I kept a tough demeanor on the
Surface but was mostly just pretendin'
Luckily my bluff was workin' way
More often than not
But sometimes a nigga pulled my card
Tryna expose me for a fraud
And with my reputation at stake
I was scufflin' just to save face
Couple wins, couple losses
Some broken up too quick to call it
My last scrap was with Puff Daddy
Who would've thought it?
I bought that nigga album in seventh
Grade and played it so much
You would've thought my favorite
Rapper was Puff back then I ain't know shit
Now I know too much
Ignorance is bliss and innocence
Is just ignorance
Before it's introduced to currency and clips
Or bad licks that have a
Nigga servin' three to six, shit
Soldier's song, marching on, on
Hoping to see home if I die before I
See your smile just one more time
Soldier's song i could be one to lean on
Time will right the wrongs won't be long
How can we grow any closer?
How can we grow any closer?
How can we grow any closer?
How can we grow any closer?
Something inside of me's tryna crawl
Up to the surface
Something is suddenly smothering, stopping me
Stubbornly getting it's way (Way) , way (Way)
Drowning out the wave (Drowning out)
I've got a reason to believe that
I'll turn out just fine soldier's song
Lord, please guide our steps
Watch us, cover us
So that every move we make is
In alignment with Your will your purpose
Please fill us with Your spirit
Keep us forever in the present
For presence makes the strongest fathers
Teach us how to lead show us how to love
Hoping to see home if I die before I
See your smile just one more time
Sometimes I question whether
This shit matters
Puttin' substance into something in
A world so used to instant gratification
