Tech N9ne - Cotton Soldier lyrics

They ain't on your side
The look in they eyes'll
Let you know when you funkin' they
Gon' hide from the ride
A cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
Cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
You looked on my side, he stood right beside
But who's the first swab of cotton
To slide when he die
The cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
Cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)

I re-member this fool I used to work with
Somebody I used to trust and
Even sold work with
Spectacular how people love
This black vernacular
But back in your talkin' he's the
One who takes the first lit
Unbeatable, seem like was nothing that
Could stop this fool
Seem like nobody up in the hood
Could ever drop this fool
I can hear "I'll beat a nigga, I
Shoot a nigga, I kill a nigga
I'll do a nigga"
But ain't nobody ever seen this
Nigga roll up no magazine
'Till one day, on a Sunday, in a Hyundai
Some niggas in the park at back of the
Ride I stepped outside I was gon' play
I said "wattup" they said "wattup" looked
At my boy said "wattup"
The toughest nigga in the universe
Ain't givin' a fuck i'm stuck in between
Heaven and hell and hells seems to lean
My way no heaven's highway this
Ain't my day ay-ey!
Punk-ass nigga won't jump at me punk out
Just me and my opponent start to
Burnin' like trick I'm on it
But check out the way it turned out
Them niggas rushed me and my
Softie partner burned out i got my ass beat
In the middle of the street
I was still alive and I told
Ya 'bout this soft-ass cotton soldier

They ain't on your side
The look in they eyes'll
Let you know when you funkin' they
Gon' hide from the ride
A cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
Cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
You looked on my side, he stood right beside
But who's the first swab of cotton
To slide when he die
The cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
Cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)

You wanna know, who's made of cotton?
It's that busta with that rich?
And yo illegal plottin'
Sittin' at home then thinkin' wondering
How much time you facin'
Nigga done told the whole
Shabang up in interrogation
No escapin' unprotected I'm servin' cause
This rat bastard mastered
The art of tellin' from
Killings to dope sellings
My facial is stone, aggravation is grown
Cause now I recall when the cops said
Hands on the hood, put down the goods
Keep all the merchandise right here, come on!
Heard the snitch is up in Camerun stammerin'
Cause niggas know a snitch
Will end up dead or become somebody's bitch
Think of how it's
Funny seein' him singin' ballads
Next minute he's tossin'
The motherfucking salad i was told
Cotton swab-ass niggas catch blows
Supposed to be rough and then froze
Said he was down but now I'm
Downtown awaiting trial in my cell
I can't wait to fold
Your soft-ass cotton soldier

They ain't on your side
The look in they eyes'll
Let you know when you funkin' they
Gon' hide from the ride
A cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
Cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
You looked on my side, he stood right beside
But who's the first swab of cotton
To slide when he die
The cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
Cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)

Just like a Mitchell Bade
You're such a Mitchell broad
Cotton soldiers be from here to
Cape Cod your whole facade's
Unbelievable, I'm illegal so, hand me the gat
'Cause this cotton soldier’s making actions
Like Sammy the rat if I'm in despair
I expect you to have my back
And kick some ass like
A motherfucking democrat
But, you procrastinated
Now you become belated
Ghandi's hated, I'm gun associated i stated
The cotton soldiers get the
'86 cause ladies shittin'
And shady clicks in '96 will
Get them niggas highly kicked
In '97 we wettin', cotton swabs
If you had to be rough to work
A shift nigga I'd be stoppin' jobs
I spit's the real nigglets and I
Leave your stom like bumblebees
Some of these
Like wet niggas go away like tumbleweeds
Go away like humble Gs
Don't be tryin' to moulder
That means he'll be a cotton soldier

They ain't on your side
The look in they eyes'll
Let you know when you funkin' they
Gon' hide from the ride
A cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
Cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
You looked on my side, he stood right beside
But who's the first swab of cotton
To slide when he die
The cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
Cotton soldier, cotton soldier
(Mitch Bade nigga)
