[00:00:00] Message To The Soldier - Ice T
[00:00:01] Yo Ice
[00:00:01] You've been down with the struggle for a long time man
[00:00:04] What you drop some knowledge for these brothers
[00:00:06] Who want to get involved in this war
[00:00:10] Take notes real gangstas wear trench coats
[00:00:12] Grey suits black ties and they seek votes
[00:00:15] And you're not to be misled
[00:00:17] They'll kill you in your f**kin' bed
[00:00:19] They don't sell d**e yo excuse me yes they do
[00:00:22] But they don't look that much like me or you
[00:00:24] But if you pull up the sheets and expose them
[00:00:26] They'll crawl up like snakes and show fangs of venom
[00:00:29] Now I've been a soldier for years
[00:00:32] Representin' the tattooed tears
[00:00:34] Other brothas locked with no choice
[00:00:36] Left in the bowels of devil with no voice
[00:00:39] Phones are tapped my crib is bugged
[00:00:41] My car is tailed from club to club
[00:00:44] And this ain't no f**kin' joke
[00:00:46] They want to see a n**ga broke
[00:00:49] You can't slip if you slip you're out
[00:00:51] You gotta know what you're talkin' about
[00:00:54] Drop science every chance you get
[00:00:56] Hit direct and indirect
[00:00:59] Speak in code 'cause you're never alone
[00:01:01] That's why I use this low tone
[00:01:03] Follow this and you might grow older
[00:01:06] This is a message to the soldiers
[00:01:12] Message to the soldiers
[00:01:17] Message to the soldiers
[00:01:22] Message to the soldier
[00:01:27] Now they killed king and they shot x
[00:01:30] Now they want me you could be next
[00:01:33] All you gotta do is speak too loud
[00:01:35] All you gotta do is be too proud
[00:01:37] 'Cause once you let 'em know
[00:01:39] Who you are and where you're at
[00:01:41] You better watch your back
[00:01:42] 'Cause you might think you're just d**e
[00:01:45] While you're livin' in a sniper's scope
[00:01:47] I'm not tryin' to scare you
[00:01:48] But there's danger if you get too deep
[00:01:50] Some nights I don't sleep
[00:01:52] All you wanna do is tell the truth
[00:01:55] All you wanna do is save the youth
[00:01:57] Ice cube knows Souljah knows PE knows
[00:02:00] They throw death blows
[00:02:02] And if you got kids or a girl that's true
[00:02:05] They'll move on them too
[00:02:07] But when I'm gone I'm gonna need you to carry on
[00:02:10] You gotta be strong
[00:02:12] And fight for our salvation
[00:02:14] But there will be retaliation soldier
[00:02:20] This is a message to the soldiers
[00:02:26] Soldier
[00:02:30] This is a message to the soldiers
[00:02:36] To think that rap could be attacked
[00:02:39] Is ignorin' the simple fact
[00:02:41] That they never meant for us to speak
[00:02:43] They had planned to keep the black man weak
[00:02:46] But rap hit the streets
[00:02:48] Black rage amplified over d**e beats
[00:02:51] Now they want to shut us down
[00:02:54] And they don't f**k around
[00:02:56] Check the history books son
[00:02:59] Black leaders die young
[00:03:01] They tell us that your words are scary
[00:03:03] They're revolutionary
[00:03:05] Because we speak the truth about crime and drugs
[00:03:08] And expose the real thugs
[00:03:10] This info is not beneficial
[00:03:13] To the groups that go by three initals
[00:03:15] So they try to discredit
[00:03:18] They'll dog you with an edit
[00:03:20] Print the words the way you never said it
[00:03:23] But we gotta make 'em regret it soldier
[00:03:29] Message to the soldiers
[00:03:39] Message to the soldiers
[00:03:45] Word
[00:03:46] I know a lot of brothas out there
[00:03:47] Want to get in to this war
[00:03:48] You know what I'm sayin'
[00:03:49] A lot of sistas got a lot of knowledge
[00:03:51] They wanna drop on our people
[00:03:53] But right now they're movin' to shut down all hip hop
[00:03:58] The first amendment had absolutely nothin' to do with black people
[00:04:01] At the time the constitution was written
[00:04:03] We were considered nothin' but property
[00:04:06] The expectation of havin' black people speak on records
[00:04:11] Never came to mind
