Soldiers

Lyrics

[Intro: James Gandolfini] We're soldiers, soldiers don't go to hell It's war, soldiers, they kill other soldiers We're in a situation where everyone involved knows the stakes And if you're gonna accept those stakes, you gotta do certain things It's business, we're soldiers [Chorus] We signed up for the drama So we really can't complain when it all goes bad So many people round us getting murdered over sand Swear, they don't come back If there's ever a problem, you ain't gotta talk about it You know where I'm at This is what we signed up for [Verse 1] My man got killed by a cop I tried to put the chicken on him, big bro was like, "Stop" Sometimes I wanted to risk it for him, guess that's over the top But that was over my dawg So any day, I might still go get the drop and cash out on 'em Like, bro, you on the run for a body, go crash out on 'em Take this twenty-five hundred and lay the smack down on 'em I got that Monday night raw I still get butterflies whenever someone comes to my door But I'm a fast learner, cash earner, rat herder Used to stash burners till they charged brodie with that murder Now I move different Can't always win, I had to learn how to lose different They found your homie in the dumpster with his shoes missing These black Forces will stomp you outta your new Christians Ranting off the sour, knowledge is power but if you listen Your homie only popping shit off once the juice hit him I had to go pick up a drill, I got screws missing [Chorus] We signed up for the drama So we really can't complain when it all goes bad So many people round us getting murdered over sand Swear, they don't come back If there's ever a problem, you ain't gotta talk about it You know where I'm at This is what we signed up for [Verse 2] If it's on, homie, say it's on Only person I'm arguing with's my baby mom Roll down they window, they ain't asking for no grateful palm I was seventeen and did some stabbings with my bracelet on Tell your mama you won't make it home for supper The sheriffs driving you to arraignment, here to cuff ya 'Cause nothing worse than powerful cowards who fear each other They just sacrifice their boys like the Hatfield's and McCoy's I was trapping, had no choice, in the middle of a couple beefs Did five straight, came home and hit the fucking streets Sometimes I think my PO fucked with me I caught four robberies, no retainers popped up for me But you can never trust me, chill I wore gloves every time I grabbed up and had to bust the seal Me and my bro could be at odds but that's my brother still [Chorus] We signed up for the drama So we really can't complain when it all goes bad So many people round us getting murdered over sand Swear, they don't come back If there's ever a problem, you ain't gotta talk about it You know where I'm at This is what we signed up for
