Soldier (feat. The Artivist) Video (MV)

Could never go back
Was lost without a trace; I was lojack
Trynna find my place 'round where the Ho's at
A piece of the pie; I thought the guys would let me hold that
Foolish and misguided. With me, I was dishonest
Could barely look in the mirror
Saw a reflection, but couldn't feel him
I don't know that dude
Where your soul at, fool?
Toes froze, can't move
Locked myself in the room; found a
Book and a pen, like a studious lifer would do
Still too nervous to pursue my purpose
And let some real shit surface
Know I'd turn arenas into churches
I learned from Serpents and a few good men that y'all call worthless
Ascend to higher conscious, I can't vibe with you mere Earthlings
God's my only sparring partner
My reach getting longer
My chest getting harder
My voice getting stronger
Could hear me stomping
Should call me Karma how I'm creeping up on 'em
Proud, I bear scars. Flaws and all, through the falls
Yo, I learned my worth. Now I overcharge for what it cost
Bare witness: A coal turned to Diamonds like Roc Nation signings
God built a Soldier, that came with perfect timing
Listen...

Said I ain't gonn fold, God built a f*cking Soldier
This is my time, I'ma show ya
Faith like mine moves mountains and boulders
Heard niggas saying that the sound here is so done
F*ck talking bout it, let the raps slap till their f*cking nose run
New York, the coldest
Coming for what I'm owed, 'cause I heard fortune favors the bold
And so it's told
Rain, sleet, hail or the snow, we disciplined and centered on the goal
Shane coming with the heart and the soul
Listen, from the concrete, this was grown
Said we built it organic; other side can't stand it
I'm on the head of my foes, no remorse
With a pen mighty as the sword, Don me a literary shogun
In my Space Jams and my Nike sweaters
Come bear witness to the 19th letter
And know that I won't let up
My feet planted on the neck of whoever
You either with it, or you in the way
Better clear your head up, nigga
