Battlefield

Z-Ro

I pledge allegiance to the soldiers, the ones who had to leave they family 
Overseas facing death everyday, missing they family 
Knowing that everybody that's going, ain't coming back 
My roll dog, took his last stand in Iraq 
Watching his mama collapse, cause she can't take the news 
And it's sad to say, but a lot of mothers gon walk in Mrs. Johnson's shoes 
So my condolences, goes out to the grieving 
Lord give me the strength, so I can make it through this evening 
What is this world coming to, locking up brothers is a sport 
Beat us till we bleed because we breathe, still we lose in court 
Mad at me because I'm black, take it up with my maker 
You can't question creativity of the life, giver and taker 
I guess, you gon have to deal with me 
Why you wondering if I wanna rob you, why not find a way to come and chill with me
 I ain't nothing but people, I'm just like you 
Nothing greater or nothing less, I'm just like you 

We are one, shoulder to shoulder 
We stand, no promises 
No demands, all of us know it 
Life is a battlefield 

We're losing our souls, temptation takes hold 
Why do we live, life this way 
We must take control, of our mind and our souls 
Before the death, over face 
Cause if we just surrender, and trust in our faith 
We'll all come together, the world will be safe 

We are one, shoulder to shoulder 
We stand, no promises 
No demands, all of us know it 
Life is a battlefield 

I'm on a mission, to heal my people 
Republicans ain't even trying to feel my people, we starving for real 
Little babies dying of thirst, plus they starving for meals 
The main reason, why these teenagers be robbing they peers 
America, look at what it's come to 
Sunday morning ain't no youngsters in the church house, we running the streets acting a fool
 Need to get some Jesus, in our life 
That's the main reason, why we be dealing with so much shife 
Straight up kicking it with the devil, and we don't even know it 
Crooked cops hate our guts, and everytime they get a chance they gon show it 
My life is a battlefield, cause I strive to survive 
Daily busting, trying to lay me in my grave before my time 
I can take it, cause I dish it out 
I love my people but I'm paranoid, walk up on me my pistol I'ma whip it out 
Can't trust nobody, from my friends to my kins 
If I can get up and go get mine, you can get up and get your ends 
It ain't hard, just man plot and strategize 
If you focused on your goal, you just might reach it 'fore you die 
So I'm focusing just like you, cause I'm just like you 
Nothing greater or nothing less, I'm just like you
