Soldier歌词

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Daniel Nwosu Jr./Alex Nour
[00:13.231] I'm a soldier
[00:16.433] I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
[00:20.075] I'm a soldier
[00:22.129] (I'm the one who they call when the times get hard)
[00:25.307] Yeah
[00:27.051] I'm a soldier
[00:30.215] I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
[00:31.175] (When times get hard, I'm who they call)
[00:33.849] I'm a soldier
[00:37.355] (When my backs against the wall I don't break and I won't fall)
[00:40.650] I'm a soldier
[00:41.906]
[00:44.409] I know how it feels to be caught in the rain going to war in your brain
[00:47.931] When depression is staring you
[00:48.844] Right in the face and anxieties
[00:50.136] Grabbing you making you shake
[00:51.260] But there's people depending on you
[00:52.622] To be great
[00:53.107] So you hide all the feelings
[00:53.834] And push them away
[00:54.712] It's too hard trying to mix it all with the pain I'm drinking to cool off
[00:57.164] And it's all in my veins
[00:58.129] I'm making these new songs
[00:58.955] To move on and restrain
[00:59.819] From grabbing a sawed off
[01:00.651] And going to cock it and aim
[01:01.548] At these nuanced influenced people
[01:02.955] Who shame the role that a man has to play as a husband a father a brother a son
[01:06.603] Who is serve 'n' protecting his families name
[01:08.755] They laugh in your face when you try to explain or express
[01:11.414] Then tell you they love you without any loyalty, patience, or basic respect
[01:14.715] Then expect you to smile every day while it eats at your mind and your soul
[01:17.357] And your flesh and you work and you wither away till the day that you can't
[01:19.992] And you're broken and nothing is left and you're old and you can't even
[01:20.937]
[01:21.693] I'm a soldier
[01:25.066] I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
[01:25.857] (When times get hard, I'm who they call)
[01:28.805] I'm a soldier
[01:30.660] (I'm the one who they call when the times get hard)
[01:32.142] When my backs against the wall I don't break and I won't fall
[01:35.576] I'm a soldier
[01:38.027] (I go to war for my dogs)
[01:39.023] I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
[01:42.221] I'm a soldier
[01:44.421] (I'm a give you my all just don't break my heart)
[01:45.769] I'm a soldier I'm a soldier
[01:49.254] I'm a soldier
[01:49.654]
[01:51.274] My pronouns are he, him, his
[01:53.055] My my job is to feed these kids
[01:54.696] Be strong, keep feelings within
[01:56.414] My Pappa taught me to protect the weak, a man ain't what he got a man is what he gives
[01:59.738] And when he gives it all and it still ain't enough then he's the one to blame and no one gives a shit
[02:03.453] Never leave a man behind
[02:04.577] We all crack and break within the hands of time
[02:06.304] I got axe to grind
[02:07.031] With anybody tryna identify as a guy if they chromosomes ain't XY
[02:10.174] You will never understand, what it's like for a man
[02:11.912] Gotta fight with your hands
[02:12.749] Wanna cry but you can't, if it's right for the fam
[02:14.381] You will tighten your pants, provide and romance
[02:16.086] You would die where you stand
[02:17.052] Gotta be the bigger man when there's problems
[02:18.726] Get judged by the money in your wallet
[02:20.376] It's our fault, let's be honest
[02:22.081] We built the world that labelled us toxic
[02:23.754] Gotta lead and teach and keep the peace
[02:25.596] And fight the fires and be police
[02:27.121] When a man gets tired he don't lay down to sleep
[02:28.913] He take all the heat
[02:29.835] Don't complain or retreat
[02:30.748] It's a cold world and it's hard times and our children inherit the land
[02:33.806] If you think that being a boy is just picking a pronoun, you should try being Dad
[02:37.580] You could build all the houses and fix all the cars and work till it's breaking your back
[02:40.922] But the hardest job world?
[02:43.258] Being a man
[02:43.739]
[02:44.153] I'm a soldier
[02:47.299] I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
[02:48.106] (When times get hard, I'm who they call)
[02:50.992] I'm a soldier
[02:52.895] (I'm the one who they call when the times get hard)
[02:54.783] When my backs against the wall I don't break and I won't fall
[02:57.826] I'm a soldier
[03:00.218] (I go to war for my dogs)
[03:01.049] I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
[03:04.548] I'm a soldier
[03:06.656] (I'm a give you my all just don't break my heart)
[03:07.962] I'm a soldier I'm a soldier
[03:11.376] I'm a soldier
[03:12.707]
[03:13.412] Battling feelings I can't even show
[03:14.831] Weight of the world on my shoulders
[03:16.344] Is crushing my people around me
[03:17.368] They don't even know we
[03:18.381] I put on this cape, then go save everybody while I'm being shattered
[03:20.819] And all of my bones take on the pressure
[03:22.586] Of being the hero who saves
[03:23.915] But has no one help with his own
[03:25.248] Demons inside that try to eat him alive
[03:26.833] I'm going insane and when I'm out my mind
[03:28.549] I look at stars and talk to God in the sky
[03:30.135] I wait on his words, but I don't get a reply
[03:31.959] I try to refrain from diving deep, so I
[03:33.677] Hold back tears that try to come
[03:35.254] Out my eyes in this world as a man
[03:36.265] Where we know we can't cry
[03:37.003] Cause the people we love
[03:37.766] Look in us to confide so I'm
[03:40.139] Silently screaming for help
[03:41.532] Life is a battle inside of these trenches
[03:43.118] Especially when fighting it all by yourself
[03:44.782] PTSD from the memories
[03:46.342] People who left you for dead
[03:47.319] And then drag you through hell
[03:48.498] Leaving you shocked deep inside of a shell
[03:49.948] With stories you hate but nobody to tell
[03:51.632] While you question God if your soul you should sell
[03:52.160]
[03:52.732] I'm a soldier
[03:55.961] I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
[03:56.753] (When times get hard, I'm who they call)
[03:59.578] I'm a soldier
[04:01.299] (I'm the one who they call when the times get hard)
[04:02.998] When my backs against the wall I don't break and I won't fall
[04:06.424] I'm a soldier
[04:08.657] (I go to war for my dogs)
[04:09.656] I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
[04:13.129] I'm a soldier
[04:15.248] (I'm a give you my all just don't break my heart)
[04:16.496] I'm a soldier I'm a soldier
[04:19.992] I'm a soldier
