Lyrics

Yeah, ballad of a dead soldier This is the ballad of a dead soldier This is the ballad of a dead soldier Come play the ballad of a dead soldier The plan, to take command of the whole family Though underhanded, to be the man it was planned All my road dogs, official mob figures Love to act up, the first to bomb when we rob niggas I can be lost in my own mind To be the boss only thought's grip on chrome nines Niggas get tossed up, war scars, battlefield memories Swore I saw the devil in my empty glass of Hennessy Talkin' to a nigga on a tight leash Screamin' "Fuck the police!" As I ride through the night streets Little child runnin' wild, towards danger What's the cause? Don't be alarmed, death to all strangers Maybe I'm a madman A pistol grabbin' nigga, unleash the sandman Promise a merciless retaliation, nothin' is colder Close your eyes, hear the ballad of a dead soldier Thug for life, I will be This is the ballad of a dead soldier A life of crime I will lead Close your eyes, hear the ballad of a dead soldier If you play the game, you play to win This is the ballad of a dead soldier It's a crazy world full of sin Close your eyes Completely lost, revenge at all costs Payback's a bitch, switched now the trick's crossed Tossed up and never to be heard of A single witness screamin', "Bloody murder, murder!" Blast, tell me, homie, what you see now? A blind man and a dead body, I'm ready to leave town And get my cash though, hook up with Castro Homie, had to blast on the task force Stupid coppers tried to play us out, never that They took my money and my stash, time to get 'em back, haha Upon my secret arrival Two Glock 45's, time for survival Death to my rivals, tell me, what you want, Lord? Nobody left after the death of a drug lord, haha The situation's critical Nothing is colder than hear the ballad of a dead soldier Thug for life, I will be This is the ballad of a dead soldier A life of crime I will lead Close your eyes, hear the ballad of a dead soldier If you play the game, you play to win This is the ballad of a dead soldier It's a crazy world full of sin Close your eyes and hear the ballad of a dead soldier Be a coward, put yo' hands to the moon When my Glocks rang out, the niggas came out boom! Who wanna see me in a challenge? So merciless, I'm terrifyin' niggas in my ballads Do you feel me? Capo or Capi-tan One day I'll be the Don, until then, remain strong My only fear of death is reincarnation Bustin' at my adversaries like a mental patient To all my niggas facin' 60 years Sheddin' tattooed tears, another suicidal on the tier Takin' private planes, tryin' to survive the game For all my homies that'll never be alive again All they promise us is death, nigga Take a breath, come be the last one left, nigga It's real now, feel it or fantasize it, ain't nuttin' colder Listen, you can hear it the ballad of a dead soldier Thug for Life, I will be This is the ballad of a dead soldier A life of crime I will lead Close your eyes, hear the ballad of a dead soldier If you play the game, you play to win This is the ballad of a dead soldier It's a crazy world full of sin Close your eyes and hear the ballad of a dead soldier This go out to Kato, Mental, all the niggas that passed away (this is the ballad of a dead soldier) Mutulu, Geronimo, Seyku, all the down-ass riders (close your eyes, the ballad of a dead soldier) All the niggas that put it down, all the soldiers All the niggas that go through that day-to-day struggle This is the ballad of a dead soldier! All the niggas that passed on All the niggas with ambition and money in they heart All the niggas that want some and that don't take none Hahaha, it's the ballad of a dead soldier! The police are so scared of us All the feds they aware of us They wanna see us dead They got pictures of a nigga head (ballad of a dead soldier!) Tryin' to see me in chains, shit Them niggas'll never breathe again Before they put me in a cell, they'll see me in Hell ('Cause it's the ballad of a dead soldier!) Got my pistols cocked Run the whole motherfuckin' block, fuck the cops! The police? We run these streets, nigga Huh (ain't heard the ballad of a dead soldier!) Heh, these niggas can't see me, half the world wanna be me Multi-millionaire, shit, it ain't fair But, nigga, you know, it's the ballad of a dead soldier!
