Soldier In The City

Soldier in the city

Soldier in the city

Soldier in the city

Soldier in the cityNo job to occupy my time

What else you expect me to do except cry?

It ain't stealin' if it's someone else's find

Refuse to lose with this trouble on my mind

Johnny Law come messin' down my door

Well the police don't scare me anymore

I been in that back seat so many times beforeSoldier in the city

I'm a soldier in the city

Soldier in the city

I'm a soldier in the cityTryna make some cheese outta all of these things

Wanna find a queen but all I'm seein' is tramps

Every day feels like I'm away at boot camp

Tight ass little kids bustin' down the street lamp

Neighbourhood hustler come knockin' at my door

Gotta pay my debts, need to settle the score

Cause I don't want no more trouble from these fellas anymoreSoldier in the city

I'm a soldier in the city

I'm a soldier in the city

Soldier in the citySoldier in the city

I'm a soldier in the city

I'm a soldier in the city

Soldier in the cityCan you hear me marching

Left, left, left, right, left

Fight to survive, try to stay alive

You can you hear me marching

Left, left, left, right, left

Fight to survive, try to stay alive

Can you hear me marching

Left, right, left

Don't you know?

I'm a soldier in the city, I'm a soldier in the city

I'm a soldier in the city, I'm a soldier in the city

I'm a soldier in the city, I'm a soldier in the city
