Ballad Of A Dead Soulja

Yeah, ballad of a dead soldier This is the ballad of a dead soldier This is the ballad of a dead soldier Come play the ballad of a dead soldier The plan, to take command of the whole family Though underhanded, to be the man it was planned All my road dawgs, official mob figures love to act up The first to bomb we rob niggas I can be, lost in my own mind To be the boss, only thought's grippin' chrome nines Niggas get tossed up, war scars, battlefield memories Swore I saw the devil in my empty glass of Hennessy Talkin to a nigga on a tight leash Screamin, "Fuck the police," as I ride through the night streets Lil' child runnin wild, toward his danger What's the cause? Don't be alarmed death to all strangers Maybe I'm a madman A pistol grabbin' nigga, unleash the Sandman Promisin' merciless retaliation, nothin' is colder Close your eyes, hear the ballad of a dead soldier Thug for Life I will be (this is the ballad of a dead soldier) A life of crime I will lead (close your eyes, hear the ballad of a dead soldier) If you play the game, you play to win (this is the ballad of a dead soldier) It's a crazy world full of sin (close your eyes) Completely lost, revenge at all costs Payback's a bitch, switched now the trick's crossed Tossed up and never to be heard of A single witness screamin', "Bloody murder, murder" Blast tell me homey what you see now? A blind man and a dead body, I'm read' to leave town And get my cash though, hook up with Kastro Homie had to blast on the task force Stupid coppers tried to play us out, never that They took my money and my stash, time to get 'em back (haha) Upon my secret arrival Two Glock .45s, time for survival Death to my rivals, tell me what you want lord? Nobody left after the death of a drug lord (haha) The situation's critical Nothin is colder, than hear the ballad of a dead soldier Thug for Life I will be (this is the ballad of a dead soldier) A life of crime I will lead (close your eyes, hear the ballad of a dead soldier) If you play the game, you play to win (this is the ballad of a dead soldier) Close your eyes and hear the ballad of a dead soldier Be a coward, put yo' hands to the moon When my Glocks rang out, the niggas came out, boom Who want to see me in a challenge? So merciless I'm terrifyin' niggas in my ballads, do you feel me? Capo or Capitan, one day I'll be the Don Until then, remain strong My only fear of death is reincarnation Bustin' at my adversaries like a mental patient To all my niggas facin' sixty years, sheddin' tattooed tears Another suicidal on the peer Takin' private planes, tryin' to survive the game For all my homies that'll never be alive again All he promised us is death, nigga Take a breath come be the last one left nigga, it's real now Feel it or fantasize, ain't nothin' colder Listen you can hear it, the ballad of a dead soldier Thug for Life I will be (this is the ballad of a dead soldier) A life of crime I will lead (close your eyes, hear the ballad of a dead soldier) If you play the game, you play to win (this is the ballad of a dead soldier) Close your eyes and hear the ballad of a dead soldier This go out to Kato, Mental All the niggas that done passed away Mutulu, Geronimo, Seyku, all the down ass riders All the niggas that put it down, all the soldiers All the niggas that go through that day-to-day struggle This is the ballad of a dead soldier All the niggas that passed on All the niggas with ambition and money in they heart All the niggas that want some and that don't take none (ha) It's the ballad of a dead soldier The police are so scared of us All the feds they aware of us They want to see us dead They got pictures of a nigga head (ballad of a dead soldier) Tryna see me in chains, shit Them niggas'll never breathe again Before they put me in a cell they'll see me in hell 'Cause it's the ballad of a dead soldier Got my pistols cocked Run the whole motherfuckin' block, fuck the cops The police?
