[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

[00:04:13] So we gotta move

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

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

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

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

[00:04:27] Yeah

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

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

[00:04:42] Message to the soldiers

[00:04:51] Welcome to the struggle

[00:04:57] Message to the soldiers

[00:05:11] Be careful

[00:05:21] Soldier
