Message To The Soldier - Ice T[00:00:00]

Yo Ice[00:00:01]

You've been down with the struggle for a long time man[00:00:01]

What you drop some knowledge for these brothers[00:00:04]

Who want to get involved in this war[00:00:06]

Take notes real gangstas wear trench coats[00:00:10]

Grey suits black ties and they seek votes[00:00:12]

And you're not to be misled[00:00:15]

They'll kill you in your f**kin' bed[00:00:17]

They don't sell d**e yo excuse me yes they do[00:00:19]

But they don't look that much like me or you[00:00:22]

But if you pull up the sheets and expose them[00:00:24]

They'll crawl up like snakes and show fangs of venom[00:00:26]

Now I've been a soldier for years[00:00:29]

Representin' the tattooed tears[00:00:32]

Other brothas locked with no choice[00:00:34]

Left in the bowels of devil with no voice[00:00:36]

Phones are tapped my crib is bugged[00:00:39]

My car is tailed from club to club[00:00:41]

And this ain't no f**kin' joke[00:00:44]

They want to see a n**ga broke[00:00:46]

You can't slip if you slip you're out[00:00:49]

You gotta know what you're talkin' about[00:00:51]

Drop science every chance you get[00:00:54]

Hit direct and indirect[00:00:56]

Speak in code 'cause you're never alone[00:00:59]

That's why I use this low tone[00:01:01]

Follow this and you might grow older[00:01:03]

This is a message to the soldiers[00:01:06]

Message to the soldiers[00:01:12]

Message to the soldiers[00:01:17]

Message to the soldier[00:01:22]

Now they killed king and they shot x[00:01:27]

Now they want me you could be next[00:01:30]

All you gotta do is speak too loud[00:01:33]

All you gotta do is be too proud[00:01:35]

'Cause once you let 'em know[00:01:37]

Who you are and where you're at[00:01:39]

You better watch your back[00:01:41]

'Cause you might think you're just d**e[00:01:42]

While you're livin' in a sniper's scope[00:01:45]

I'm not tryin' to scare you[00:01:47]

But there's danger if you get too deep[00:01:48]

Some nights I don't sleep[00:01:50]

All you wanna do is tell the truth[00:01:52]

All you wanna do is save the youth[00:01:55]

Ice cube knows Souljah knows PE knows[00:01:57]

They throw death blows[00:02:00]

And if you got kids or a girl that's true[00:02:02]

They'll move on them too[00:02:05]

But when I'm gone I'm gonna need you to carry on[00:02:07]

You gotta be strong[00:02:10]

And fight for our salvation[00:02:12]

But there will be retaliation soldier[00:02:14]

This is a message to the soldiers[00:02:20]

Soldier[00:02:26]

This is a message to the soldiers[00:02:30]

To think that rap could be attacked[00:02:36]

Is ignorin' the simple fact[00:02:39]

That they never meant for us to speak[00:02:41]

They had planned to keep the black man weak[00:02:43]

But rap hit the streets[00:02:46]

Black rage amplified over d**e beats[00:02:48]

Now they want to shut us down[00:02:51]

And they don't f**k around[00:02:54]

Check the history books son[00:02:56]

Black leaders die young[00:02:59]

They tell us that your words are scary[00:03:01]

They're revolutionary[00:03:03]

Because we speak the truth about crime and drugs[00:03:05]

And expose the real thugs[00:03:08]

This info is not beneficial[00:03:10]

To the groups that go by three initals[00:03:13]

So they try to discredit[00:03:15]

They'll dog you with an edit[00:03:18]

Print the words the way you never said it[00:03:20]

But we gotta make 'em regret it soldier[00:03:23]

Message to the soldiers[00:03:29]

Message to the soldiers[00:03:39]

Word[00:03:45]

I know a lot of brothas out there[00:03:46]

Want to get in to this war[00:03:47]

You know what I'm sayin'[00:03:48]

A lot of sistas got a lot of knowledge[00:03:49]

They wanna drop on our people[00:03:51]

But right now they're movin' to shut down all hip hop[00:03:53]

The first amendment had absolutely nothin' to do with black people[00:03:58]

At the time the constitution was written[00:04:01]

We were considered nothin' but property[00:04:03]

The expectation of havin' black people speak on records[00:04:06]

Never came to mind[00:04:11]

So we gotta move[00:04:13]

But believe me all the other black leaders have been silenced[00:04:15]

And most of the time it's been violent[00:04:19]

So if you choose to get in this war[00:04:21]

Realize what you're in for[00:04:22]

Yeah[00:04:27]

But we gotta move on[00:04:30]

And we gotta stay strong[00:04:34]

Message to the soldiers[00:04:42]

Welcome to the struggle[00:04:51]

Message to the soldiers[00:04:57]

Be careful[00:05:11]

Soldier[00:05:21]
