Lyrics : H o l d . m y . h a n d
Soldier's song...marching on, on
Hoping you see home
If you die...before I...
See your smile just one more time
I only been inside this game about a year or so
...I joined a year ago (facts)
...I got a year to go (facts)
If I don't quit after the next it be a miracle (facts)
'Cause I've become so unbecoming when it come to the industry sh*t (sigh)
The disrespect on a daily, the late replies on a reggo, the disbelief in my talent, the lack of plays on they playlists, the disregard for my story, the discontent with my journey
I lost my love for this; I'm sorry God
Sometimes I question whether this sh*t matters
TinaSHĒ told me not to concentrate my efforts into instant gratifi-
-fication...words of wisdom when we was Instagrammin'
I see why his parents called him ISHĒ, God the kid got knowledge (damn)
I'm used to rooms where the energy switch
Soon as a bigger dog bark, n***as'll tend to be b*t*h
I know some homies hate to work, rather pretend to be rich
Know some ladies who lose a nail to scratching jealousy's itch
See there I go again...mxm, the high and mighty low-life
Castin' the first stone left, when I don't even know right...from wrong
I look around at my family and see I still got 'em
Kinda make me feel like none of my problems is real problems
(You know?)
I got a homie startin' to feel like he won't see tomorrow
Like the time he livin' on is borrowed...for real? (Facts)
He told me how he oh so often thinks of offin' his dome [gun c*ck]...contemplatin' makin' coffin a home [gunshots]
Sympathy only serve to weaken his drive
His mom the only thing that keep him alive
He knows she could never ( hearbeat)...survive a day without his wonderful smile, or rise to lay another son in the ground
I tell him "zodie, please don't leave it to pride, don't ever keep it inside"
(God...show me something better)
He miscontrues and posts his demons online
(Know that you could never...)
I shake my head almost instinctively - from place of love
(Leave me face a storm that...)
Knowing most the folks who view them sh*ts ain't never gave a f**k
(I could never weather)
Never judgement, I been there before too
To keep him sane, I say the same thing a brother told me
(Show me something better)
About a week from when my pen kiss this leaf...when I was going through that - May 14 to be exact
(Show me something better...show me something better)
"Mu...I almost killed myself yesterday" - he cried on sight
(Show me something better)
sh*t...sniffle...SOLDIERS "fight through everything, n***a - we in this for life!"
He said "Ray...I blame myself 'cause who am I if you can't talk to me
f**k am I if you feel like your burdens can't be brought to me? (Huh!)
We ain't survive that accident in June 2018 [car crash], just for you to crash up out my life without sayin' a thing! (Nah!)"
I cried as well hearin' the impact I ain't know I had
So what he said, I say to you my n***a - hold my hand...
Soldier's song
(Soldier's song)
I could be one to lean on
(I could be one to lean on)
Time will right the wrongs
(Time will right the wrongs)
Won't be long
(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?)
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 inside of me's tryna crawl up to the surface)
Something is suddenly smothering, stopping me
Stubbornly getting its way (Way), way (Way)
(Something is suddenly smothering, stopping me - stubbornly getting its way)
Drowning out the wave
(Drowning out)
I've got a reason to believe that I'll turn out just fine
(To believe that) (You'll turn out just f-)
"Soldier's" fight through everything, you ain't gon' leave me tonight
I luh you bro, just say the word and you gon' see me tonight
It shouldn't never take a loss for you and me to unite
...I'm prayin' for you
You my home doggy for life, I'm strayin' for you
And if anybody sh*t get to dumpin', I'm sprayin' for you
Know your brother straight up in heaven just waitin' for me
Shed a...tear to sprinkle this poem I'm sayin' for you
Pray you get to smellin' these flowers I'm layin' for you
Way before the angels of heaven open a way in for you
'Fore your lights shut off, I'm Kendrick - I promised I'd sang for you
...luh you to the death of me, zodie, I'm prayin' f-
Hoping you see home
If you die...before I...
