Soldier's song, marching on, on
Hoping to see home
If I die before I
See your smile just one more time
Soldier's song, marching on, on
Hoping to see home
If I die before I
See your smile just one more time
[Verse: J. Cole]
Sometimes I question whether this shit matters
Puttin' substance into something in a world so used to instant gratification
I found this instrumental on my phone while on vacation
Ib sent it a year ago or so
I probably heard it before, but slept on it, you know?
Shit don't always connect as soon as you press play
At times you gotta step away, do some livin'
Let time provide a new prescription, givin' truer vision
I dibble-dabble in a few religions
My homie constantly telling me 'bout Quran, puttin' me on
I read a few pages and recognize the wisdom in it
But I ain't got the discipline for stickin' with it
Now I'm on the way to London, got a show for seven digits
I'm wonderin' just when did I become my biggest critic?
I wanna be my biggest fan, like how I was when didn't nobody know my jams
Today my son said, "Dad, let go my hand"
Reminded me one day he's gonna be his own man
And my job is to make sure he's equipped
I gotta make sure he not no bitch 'cause niggas bound to try him
If I said I was the toughest growin' up, I would be lyin'
I had a fear of gettin' punched while everybody eyein'
Add to that a constant fear of dyin'
By gunshot wound, the other violent type of endings
I kept a tough demeanor on the surface but was mostly just pretendin'
Luckily my bluff was workin' way more often than not
But sometimes a nigga pulled my card, tryna expose me for a fraud
And with my reputation at stake
I was scufflin' just to save face
Couple wins, couple losses, some broken up too quick to call it
My last scrap was with Puff Daddy, who would've thought it?
I bought that nigga album in seventh grade and played it so much
You would've thought my favorite rapper was Puff
Back then I ain't know shit, now I know too much
Ignorance is bliss and innocence is just ignorance before it's introduced to currency and clips
Or bad licks that have a nigga servin' three to six, shit
[Chorus: J. Cole, Bas & 6LACK]
Soldier's song, marching on, on
Hoping to see home
If I die before I
See your smile just one more time
[Bridge: Bas]
Soldier's song
I could be one to lean on
Time will right the wrongs
Won't be long
How can we grow any closer?
How can we grow any closer?
How can we grow any closer?
How can we grow any closer?
Something inside of me's tryna crawl up to the surface
Something is suddenly smothering, stopping me
Stubbornly getting its way (Way), way (Way)
Drowning out the wave (Drowning out)
I've got a reason to believe that I'll turn out just fine
Soldier's song
[Outro: Diddy]
Lord, please guide our steps
Watch us, cover us
So that every move we make is in alignment with Your will
Your purpose
Please fill us with Your spirit
Keep us forever in the present
For presence makes the strongest fathers
Teach us how to lead
Show us how to love
Soldier pjesma, marširanje na, na
U nadi da će vidjeti dom
Ako umrem prije nego što sam
Pogledajte vaš osmijeh samo još jednom

Ponekad sam pitanje da li je ovo sranje stvarima
Puttin' tvar u nešto u svijetu, tako se koristi za instant zahvalnost
Otkrio sam ovaj Instrumentalna na telefonu dok su na odmoru
Lb je poslao prije godinu dana ili tako
Vjerojatno sam to čuo prije, ali spavao na njemu, znaš?
Sranje ne uvijek povezati čim pritisnete play
S vremena na vrijeme moraš korak dalje, učiniti neke Livin'
Neka vrijeme osigurati novi recept, givin' istinitija vizija
Ja Dibble-brljati u nekoliko religija
Moj homie stalno mi govori 'bout Kur'anu, puttin' me
Pročitao sam nekoliko stranica i prepoznati mudrost u njemu
Ali Nemam disciplinu za stickin' s njim
Sada sam na putu za London, dobio predstava za sedam znamenaka
Ja sam wonderin' samo kad sam postala moj najveći kritičar?
Želim biti moj najveći fan, kao što sam ja bio kad nije nitko znao moje zaglavljivanja
Danas je moj sin rekao: „Tata, pusti mi ruku”
Podsjetio me jednog dana on će biti svoj čovjek
I moj posao je da bi se uvjerio da je opremljen
Moram se uvjeriti da nije ni bitch jer crnje dužni da ga probati
Ako sam rekao da sam najteži growin', ja bi lyin'
Imala sam strah od gettin' udario dok su svi eyein'
Dodaj u tom stalnom strahu od Umiranje
Do prostrijelne rane, s druge nasilne vrste završetaka
JA je zadržao tvrd ponašanje na površini, ali je uglavnom samo pretendin'
Srećom moj blef je više nego često ne workin' način
Ali ponekad crnjo izvukao moju karticu, tryna me izložiti za prijevare
I s mojim ugledom na kocki
Bio sam scufflin' samo spasiti obraz
Par pobjeda, par gubitke, neki razbijena previše brzo da ga zovu
Moj zadnji otpad bio s Puff Daddy, koji bi ste ga mislili?
Kupio sam taj nigga album u sedmom razredu i igrao toliko
Ti bi ste mislili moj omiljeni reper je lisnato
Tada nisam znao sranje, sada znam previše
Neznanje je blaženstvo i nevinost je samo neznanje prije nego što je uveden u valutu i isječaka
Ili loše liže koji imaju nigga servin' tri do šest, govno
[Hor J. Cole, i Bas 6LACK]

pjesma vojnika
Mogao sam biti jedan da se osloni na
Vrijeme će ispraviti nepravda
neće biti dugo
Kako možemo rasti bliže?
Kako možemo rasti bliže?
Kako možemo rasti bliže?
Kako možemo rasti bliže?
Nešto u meni je tryna puzati na površinu
Nešto iznenada gušeći me zaustaviti
Tvrdoglavo uzimajući putu (put), smjer (put)
Zaglušujući vala (utapanja out)
Imam razloga vjerovati da ću ispasti u redu
