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..
[2Pac]
The plan, to take command of the whole family
Though underhanded, to be the man it was planned
All my road dawgs, official mob niggaz love to act up
The first to bomb we rob niggaz
I can be, lost in my own mind
To be the boss only thoughts grip on chrome nines
Niggaz get tossed up, war scars, battlefield memories
Swore I saw the devil in my empty glass of Hennesey
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
Whats the cause dont be alarmed death to all strangers
Maybe Im 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
[Chorus: singing + 2Pac]
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)
Its a crazy world full of sin..
(close your eyes)
[2Pac]
Completely lost, revenge at all costs
Paybacks a bitch, switch now the tricks 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, Im read to leave town
And get my cash though, hook up with Kastro
Homey 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 (heh heh)
Upon my secret arrival
Two glock four-fives, time for survival
Death to my rivals, tell me what you want lord?
Nobody left after the death of a drug lord (eh eh)
The situations critical
Nothin is colder - than hear the ballad of a dead soldier
[Chorus]
[last line:] "close your eyes and hear the ballad of a dead soldier"
[2Pac]
Be a coward, put yo hands to the moon
When my glocks rang out, the niggaz came out BOOM
Who wanna see me in the challenge?
So merciless Im terrifyin niggaz in my ballads, do you feel me?
Capo or Capi-tan, one day Ill 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 niggaz facin sixty years, sheddin tattooed tears
Another suicidal on the peer
Takin private planes, tryin to survive the game
For all my homies thatll never be alive again
All he promised us is death nigga
Take a breath come be the last one left nigga, its real now
Villain to fantasize, aint nothin colder
Listen you can hear it - the ballad of a dead soldier
[Chorus]
[last line:] "close your eyes and hear the ballad of a dead soldier"
[2Pac]
This go out to Cato, Mental
All the niggaz that passed away
To Geronimo.. (?).. all the down ass riders
All the niggaz that put it down, all the soldiers
All the niggaz that go through that day to day struggled
This is the ballad of a dead soldier!
All the niggaz that passed on
All the niggaz with ambition and money in they heart
All the niggaz that want some and that dont take none
Hahaha.. its the ballad of a dead soldier!
The police are so scared of us
All the feds they aware of us
They wanna see us dead
They got pictures of a nigga head, ballad of a dead soldier!
Tryin to see me in chains, shit
Them niggazll never breathe again
Before they put me in a cell theyll see me in hell
Cause its the ballad of a dead soldier!
Got my pistols cocked
Run the whole motherfuckin block, fuck the cops!
The police? We run these streets nigga
Aint heard the ballad of a dead soldier!
These niggaz cant see me, half the world wanna be me
Multi-millionaire; shit, it aint fair
But nigga, you know - its the ballad of a dead soldier!
