Artist/Band: Scarface
Lyrics for Song: Soldier Story
Lyrics for Album: Emeritus [2008]



Where I'm from killers go dumb, usually death is the outcome

Welcome to the jungle, where kidnappers haunt you

The streets, they really want you

I'm serious, no smile on this block, gives answers if you curious



Good times disappear quickly back into a mist

Shooter hardly ever miss, that means I'm accurate

Crack the pitch man, pretty soon Ima have to switch

Scratchin' the itch with paper cuts on my index



The real riders shoot up blocks and screams who next

Like my nigga two text, he told two text

Done been in beef before but in Houston they call it plex

Gotta know the protocol, I'm warnin' y'all it gets deep



So deep, the prison guards'll put you to sleep

Rest eternally, no comin' back, ya O.D., overdose

This neighborhood got me comatose

Back against the wall, another statistic I know



The streets always been my daddy and mommy is the county jail

I'ma soldier and I'm about my mail

And if I get busted I'm not about to tell

'Cause I'm a gangsta



The streets always been my daddy and mommy is the county jail

I'ma soldier and I'm about my mail

I ain't tryin' to do right, I'm already livin' in pain

'Cause I'm a gangsta



The gas prices too high, the pay raise is too low

I'm better off in the game flippin' kicks like Judo

Or out somewhere pimpin' gettin' money and by the two wholes

That's why I'm at the lab of the product, spittin' you flows



Feds' watchin' my hood, entirely too much gun play

Neighborhood basketball stars slain last Monday

Raided the neighborhood, king pen last Tuesday

If this was goin' on in your neighborhood what would you say?



Given the opportunity to tell it to the masters

Lower middle class still a carryin' bus passes

Young girls givin' birth before they hit the ninth grade

'Bout to be a mom and can't even make Kool Aid



Who made this crack anyway? Told us about the heroin

Sold us alcohol and the guns that we carry 'round

Can't blame us for everything goin' wrong in the States

I don't blame a nigga for nothin' he do to get cake



The streets always been my daddy and mommy is the county jail

I'ma soldier and I'm about my mail

And if I get busted I'm not about to tell

'Cause I'm a gangsta



The streets always been my daddy and mommy is the county jail

I'ma soldier and I'm about my mail

I ain't tryin' to do right, I'm already livin' in pain

'Cause I'm a gangsta



It's like the ghetto's got a heart and a soul, a mind of it's own

A hunger for a young cat to die 'fore he grown

A lust for a young girl to slide down a pole

She's always fallin' short on her goals



The street life is cold, it's either win or lose or you fold

Money is the root to all evils what I was told

When everything you thought you'd believed in was a hoax

You put your faith in front of those demons



And when the smoke clears, the truth appear

The fight for your life, the struggles of a wrong versus right

And wrong won, a song sung in the keys of reality

When death crosses your path, blood shed tragically



So automatically you come to a close and realize

That no matter what we key to the codes

I seen the hood swallow muthafuckas whole

The shit amountin' in the system ain't never make it home, that I know



The streets always been my daddy and mommy is the county jail

I'ma soldier and I'm about my mail

And if I get busted I'm not about to tell

'Cause I'm a gangsta



The streets always been my daddy and mommy is the county jail

I'ma soldier and I'm about my mail

I ain't tryin' to do right, I'm already livin' in pain

'Cause I'm a gangsta
