Husam - I'm a Soldier Lyrics

You thought I'd give up
You thought I'd drown
You thought I'd give up
You thought I'd drown
You can chain my ankles and my wrists
You can strip me of my clothes, ditch me in the cold
You can stand me up, hurl bricks and sticks
Screaming slurs, worse, cursing my family and kids
You expect me to quit? I've been broken you can't break me
There's nothing on this wide earth, that could save me
You could feed me to devilish heathens, as long
As I'm breathing, there's someone to believe in

I'm a soldier
The one who cared when nobody cared
The one who was there when you felt like quitting
I'm a soldier
Emerging from the shadows of the night
Who waved his arms and silenced the opposition
I'm a soldier
The one who spoke his mind, didn't care what they thought
And in the name of what was right, he fought
I'm a soldier
Got beat to the ground, kicked dirt in his mouth
He wiped the dripping blood from his brow

I'm a soldier
Two, one, two, one, two
I'm a soldier
Two, one, two, one, two
I'm a soldier
Two, one, two, one, two
I'm a soldier
Two, one, two, one, two
I'm a soldier

Make with what I got, start building a five and dime
Sacrificing all my time, staying out of crime, out of trouble
Cause what good is it to my family if I end up lifeless in the rubble
All cause I couldn't afford a ford
Heat or A/c, earn what is mine
F*ck the club, give me thirty minutes of studio time
Give my last breath for success, already gone
Before you look, Ill drag down the moon if that's what it took

I'm a soldier
The one who cared when nobody cared
The one who was there when you felt like quitting
I'm a soldier
Emerging from the shadows of the night
Who waved his arms and silenced the opposition
I'm a soldier
The one who spoke his mind, didn't care what they thought
And in the name of what was right, he fought
I'm a soldier
Got beat to the ground, kicked dirt in his mouth
He wiped the dripping blood from his brow

I'm a soldier
Two, one, two, one, two
I'm a soldier
Two, one, two, one, two
I'm a soldier
Two, one, two, one, two
I'm a soldier
Two, one, two, one, two
I'm a soldier

I'm in it, I'm in it
I'm in it, you gotta love it
Impossible nobody's done it f*ck it
I'm on my last dollar
These hard times make me wanna holla
Spending frugal resorting to ramen noodles
Who'da thought I'd be well acquainted with the cousin of death
I can't move its like I'm under cardiac arrest
No food to supply energy needed to succeed
But real G's run even when the tank's on E

I'm a soldier
The one who cared when nobody cared
The one who was there when you felt like quitting
I'm a soldier
Emerging from the shadows of the night
Who waved his arms and silenced the opposition
I'm a soldier
The one who spoke his mind, didn't care what they thought
And in the name of what was right, he fought
I'm a soldier
Got beat to the ground, kicked dirt in his mouth
He wiped the dripping blood from his brow

I'm a soldier
Two, one, two, one, two
I'm a soldier
Two, one, two, one, two
I'm a soldier
Two, one, two, one, two
I'm a soldier
Two, one, two, one, two
I'm a soldier
