I'm A Raise Me A Soldier

I Can't wait to have a son, Lil PT Nigga, Lil Pastor Troy

(It's gonna be real)

Anybnody can be a daddy, it take a real man to be a father, (this dedicated to all them niggaz takin care of they responsibility it's on... keep it real).

I think back home how I was raised, and how it is now, and I'm Half the man.

Man I'm played the fuck out,

And I can't do nothin bout it

My pop pushed me when I pouted,

Then he grabbed me and shouted

Nigga thugz make this earth revolve,

All the simple shit that these mothafukaz can't solve... we forgotten

Now I ain't gon' spoil you rotten, you's a punk if you's a nigga

While punks pull pranks us real niggaz pull triggers

And I figure that like father, like son... fuk the pack man, let's buy the 50 pack and a gun

Don't mean to take away yo fun, what's mo fun than money

And even when you move a-tons pay yo tides on sunday

Let's understand that the big man is Jesus Christ

Give him repect and them devils can't fuck with yo life

Cause they'll entice you with anything, bitches and broads with bright ideas

Nigga... close yo ears or yo money dissapear, took me years fo I'd seen the light

And I'm a tell my son his great-father was right, like my father sat me down now sit down my boy

And make him understand what it means to be a Troy

And let the burdains I experienced make him laugh

But at the same time, let my baby clear his path

And all the math that them crakaz gonna teach in school, I teach him home

Teach him shit he would have neva know,

I teach him how to clip the dope and how to chop his rocks

I do it all for tha ship off tha old block... cause dats my blood

I'm a raise me a soldier, a soldier. I'm a raise me a soldier... a soldier, put my faith in Jahovah... Jahovah, teach me how to raise my soldier, my soldier!

My son, the one that's gon' take over the throne, and he'll me atone

When them bustaz doin wrong, it's bound to happen

And I can see him laughing at trials and tribulations

Holla'in at the hoes help them with they situations

Manipulation... ? come on he'll be like me

And when niggaz knock his shit, he gon' tell em with the quick

There's a million ways to get to the top of the mountain

But the view is all the same, so fuck it I'm a a slang

He gone understand the his name the game bendin all the rules

So prove the move you make, cause nigga dats yo fate

Gon' take a few mistakes but as long as he learn

Even the bird didn't know, just go get the worm

And he gonna earn mo blessings, his blessings teach his son,

His son gonna teach his boy, and reunions we'll enjoy

The visions of a Troy President of this nation

Brings a tear to my eye... What thugz ain't 'pose to cry?

I rely on my intuition, and my position, God gon' bring me to a stong position

Now would ya'll listen, that the cristian and I cry for days, another child.

To raise him to the worldly ways... dats my blood

I'm a raise me a soldier, a soldier. I'm a raise me a soldier... a soldier, put my faith in Jahovah... Jahovah, teach me how to raise my soldier, my soldier!
