Erykah Badu – Soldier Lyrics  Share

From Erykah Badu's album: New Amerykah: Part One

Mmmmm
See he^,s organized
And he^,s on the ball
Never miss a day of school
And he^,s an underdog
Wanna learn more and more
Pa and 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
Said the brother^,s packing heat
Oop oop
Then everything changed
Cause he saw his own wings
And his mother was sad
They will last
Time will past
Cause I

Wondering we^,re talking 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,

Now to my folks think delivery sweet,
Well dey gone f*** around and push the leap
To the girls on perscrptions pills,
I know how ya feel
To my boys in iraqi fields
This ain^,t no time to kill
To my girls in therapy,
See I^,m a tell you this fo^, free
To my folks up on the hill,
With the cake and dollar bills,
You need to watch the dirty cop
[ Soldier lyrics from

Dey the one you need to watch
I^,m 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 finer cars
Get ya money dollar bill ya^,ll
Bowties with the finer cars
Get ya money dollar bill ya^,ll
To my folks on the picket line
Don^,t stop til you change dey mind
I got luv fo^, my folks
Baptized when the levees 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 (BLAC!)

Wondering we^,re 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,
