Erykah Badu - Soldier lyrics

Mmmmm

See he's organized

And he's on the ball

Never miss a day of school

And he's a underdog

Wanna learn more and more

Cuz his mama taught him good

He's about to change the face

Of yo ghetto neighborhood

Walking to school today

Saw a brother on the streets

Seem like errthang was cool

Cept the brother's packing heat

Oop oop

Then everything changed

Cuz he saw his own wings

And his mother was sad

They will last

Time will past

Cuz I

What am I talkin' bout

Errbody know what dis song's about

Dey be trying to hide the history

But they know who we are

DO OO you want to see

Errybody rise to this degree?

Raise ya hands high if you agree

Just say Yessireeee ooooh,

Yessiree

If you agree say,

Yessireeeeee ooooohh,

Yessiree

Ugh

Hey

Now to my folks think dey living sweet,

Well dey gone f**k around and push delete

To the girls on perscriptions pills,

I know how ya feel

To my boys in iraqi fields

This aint no time to kill

To my girls in therapy,

See imma tell you this fo' free

To my folks up on the hill,

With the cake and dollar bills,

You need to watch da dirty cop

Dey the one you need to watch

Im talking bout the dirty cop

Dey the one you need to WATCH

STOP

You get the wake up call

When you saw the buildings fall

Bowties with the final call

Get ya money dollar bill yall

Bowties with the final calls

Get ya money dollar bill yall

To my folks on the picket line

Dont stop til you change dey mind

I got luv fo' my folks

Baptized when the levy broke

We gone keep marchin' on

Until you hear dat freedom song

And if you think about turning back

I got the shotgun on ya back

And if you think about turning back

I got the shot gun on ya back

BLLAAAA (BLAT!)

What am I talking bout

Errbody know what dis song's about

Dey be trying to hide the history

But they know who we are

Dooooo you want to see

Errybody rise to the NEXT degree?

Raise ya hands high if you agree

Just say Yessireeee ooooh,

If you agree say,
