[00:02.440]Soldier's song, marching on, on
[00:10.601]Hoping to see home
[00:14.718]If I die, before I
[00:19.323]See your smile, just one more time
[00:24.705]Sometimes I question whether this shit matters
[00:26.547]Puttin' substance into something and the world's so?used?to?instant gratification
[00:30.366]I found?this instrumental on?my phone while on vacation
[00:32.942]Ib sent it a year ago or so
[00:34.513]I probably heard it before, but slept on it, you know?
[00:37.277]Shit don't always connect as soon as you press play
[00:39.956]At times you gotta step away, do some livin'
[00:42.733]Let time provide a new prescription, give a truer vision
[00:45.405]I dibble dabble in a few religions
[00:47.280]My homie constantly telling me 'bout Quran, puttin' me on
[00:50.558]I read a few pages and recognize the wisdom in it
[00:53.239]But I ain't got the discipline for stickin' with it
[00:55.627]Now I'm on the way to London, got a show for seven digits
[00:58.132]I'm wonderin' just when did I become my biggest critic?
[01:00.740]I wanna be my biggest fan like how I was when didn't nobody know my jams
[01:04.955]Today my son said, "Dad, let go my hand"
[01:06.699]Reminded me one day he's gonna be his own man
[01:08.789]And my job is to make sure he's equipped
[01:11.604]I gotta make sure he not no bitch 'cause niggas bound to try him
[01:14.413]If I said I was the toughest growin' up, I would be lyin'
[01:16.782]I had, a fear of gettin' punched while everybody eyein’
[01:19.398]Add to that a constant fear of dyin'
[01:22.221]By gunshot wound, the other violent type of endings
[01:23.985]I kept a tough demeanor on the surface but was mostly just pretendin'
[01:27.484]Luckily my bluff was workin' way more often than that
[01:30.030]But sometimes a nigga pulled my card, tryna expose me for a fraud
[01:33.465]And with my reputation at stake, I was scufflin' just to save face
[01:36.999]Couple wins, couple losses
[01:39.113]Some broken up too quick to call it
[01:41.073]My last scrap was with Puff Daddy, who would've thought it?
[01:43.464]I bought that nigga album in seventh grade and played it so much
[01:46.240]You would've thought my favorite rapper was Puff
[01:49.119]Back then I ain't know shit, now I know too much
[01:51.349]Ignorance is bliss and innocence is just ignorance before it's introduced to currency and clips
[01:56.942]Or bad licks that have a nigga servin' three to six, shit
[02:00.935]Soldier's song, marching on, on
[02:07.757]Hoping to see home
[02:11.992]If I die, before I
[02:16.348]See your smile, just one more time
[02:22.336]Soldiers song
[02:24.922]I could be one and lean on
[02:27.513]Time will right the wrongs
[02:30.213]Won't be long
[02:32.807]How can we grow any closer?
[02:35.394]How can we grow any closer?
[02:38.180]How can we grow any closer?
[02:40.767]How can we grow any closer?
[02:43.294]Something inside of me's tryna crawl up to the surface
[02:49.121]Something is suddenly smothering, stopping me, stubbornly gettin' his way, way, way, way
[02:55.763]Drowning out the wave (Drowning out)
[02:58.743]I've got a reason to believe that I'll turn out just fine
[03:03.831]Soldiers song
[03:10.299]Lord, please guide our steps
[03:12.452]Watch us, cover us
[03:16.162]So that every move we make is in alignment of your will
[03:20.657]Your purpose, please, fill us with Your spirit
[03:25.920]Keep us forever in the present
[03:28.664]For presence makes the strongest fathers
[03:31.510]Teach us how to lead
[03:34.311]Show us how to love
