Soldiers - Macklemore
This is for my soldiers Not my soldiers that chose to be soldiers But the soldiers that were forced to be soldiers Now what'sthe trouble you scared of being a human If the truth is a tool I double dare you to use it Hit the booth and I'mwell aware of what I'mdoin'If I confuse you with the humor I'mpreparing them for the movement I'vebeen alive before and every person'sgot a purpose Most don'tobserve it or know what they'restriving towards Only you can light the torch Cause you won'tsurvive the war if you don'tknow what the f**kit is you'refighting for Most of us won'topen up and trust the inner source Combined with being tempted to just accept it But don'ttwist the message if you must think of my support Sometimes you gotta pull off the tees and get on some left right left s**tI worked with 80soldiers hooded behind locked doors Forced into a war an entrance with no exit Before they could grow up just some crazy soldiers Armin them with crack and guns in essence defenseless Yup my man rappin killsmatic enhance them In his own words 21stcentury panther 13years old gets into a fight Decided to steal the kid'sbike Cops come and he ends up in hand cuffs Two months in and now he'scaught in the trap Got out got caught with a gat and crack Now whatta these people think Juvenile life like that he grew up in a room with a mac And he'llbe policed until the day he can legally drink Now tell me what'sthe matter with this picture I wish it was a dream but it seems too vivid There'sblood on these streets I can'tsee who'sis it I should probably mind my business I said tell me what'sthe matter with this picture I wish it was a dream but it seems to vivid There'sblood on these streets I can see whose is it America wants me to mind my business Now if you contain anything in a cage Its natural tendency is going to try to be escape right When these kids get out of the gates and face life If you raised them as a criminal what do you estimate they'llbehave like The ratio is 80something percent of kids who get locked up again or go straight to the pen And that'sstrange right It'sa snowball effect and they wanna see you again So they can make sure that america remains white Yup going back on that race s**tMost of the neighborhoods are like cages they try and escape and If the american dream is to make it It'sobviously blatant that if you'releft with nothing what do you do Attempted murder was the case My man got beat up stomped in his face Ask george bush what you do when you'reattacked His boy went and let it spray hit one of them in the leg Now george you can relate Remember iraq or was it afghanistan Just ain'tfunny Proving sometimes you gotta take something to make money My man'shomie snitched and said that he planned to hit And he'llbe out when he's46Now ain'tthe game something The soldiers follow the same orders The generals are crips folk and south of the boarder Now is it a kid with a gun or the system he lives in that has his disorder If there'sa fiend on the block somebody'sservin em If there'sa teen with a glock there'sa cop lookin to turn em in If you have something I want there'ssomebody murderin Since 1492where the f**kdo you think we learned it from Now tell me what'sthe matter with this picture I wish it was a dream but it seems too vivid There'sblood on these streets I can'tsee whose is it I should probably mind my business I said tell me what'sthe matter with this picture I wish it was a dream but it seems to vivid There'sblood on these streets I can see whose is it America wants me to mind my business Guitar score
