Ballad Of A Dead Soulja - Album Version (Edited)

Yeah, ballad of a dead soldier

This is the ballad of a dead soldier

This is the ballad of a dead soldier

Come play the ballad of a dead soldier

The plan, to take command of the whole family

Though underhanded, to be the man it was planned

All my road dogs, official mob figures love to act up

The first to bomb when we rob niggas

I can be lost in my own mind

To be the boss, only thought's: grip on chrome nines

Niggas get tossed up, war scars, battlefield memories

Swore I saw the devil in my empty glass of Hennessy

Talkin' to a nigga on a tight leash

Screamin' "Fuck the police!" As I ride through the night streets

Little child runnin' wild, towards danger

What's the cause? Don't be alarmed, death to all strangers

Maybe I'm a madman

A pistol grabbin' nigga, unleash the Sandman

Promise a merciless retaliation, nothin' is colder

Close your eyes, hear the ballad of a dead soldier

Thug for Life, I will be (this is the ballad of a dead soldier)

A life of crime I will lead (close your eyes, hear the ballad of a dead soldier)

If you play the game, you play to win (this is the ballad of a dead soldier)

It's a crazy world full of sin (close your eyes...)

Completely lost, revenge at all costs

Payback's a bitch, switched, now the trick's crossed

Tossed up and never to be heard of

A single witness screamin', "Bloody murder, murder"

Blast, tell me, homie, what you see now?

A blind man and a dead body, I'm ready to leave town

And get my cash though, hook up with Kastro

Homie had to blast on the task force

Stupid coppers tried to play us out, never that

They took my money and my stash, time to get 'em back, haha

Upon my secret arrival

Two Glock 45, time for survival

Death to my rivals; tell me, what you want, Lord?

Nobody left after the death of a drug lord, haha

The situation's critical, nothin' is colder

Than hear the ballad of a dead soldier

Thug for Life, I will be (this is the ballad of a dead soldier)

A life of crime I will lead (close your eyes, hear the ballad of a dead soldier)

If you play the game, you play to win (this is the ballad of a dead soldier)

It's a crazy world full of sin (close your eyes and hear the ballad of a dead soldier)

Be a coward, put yo' hands to the moon

When my Glocks rang out, the niggas came out, boom!

Who wanna see me in a challenge?

So merciless, I'm terrifyin' niggas in my ballads

Do you feel me? Capo or Capi-tan

One day I'll be the Don; until then, remain strong

My only fear of death is reincarnation

Bustin' at my adversaries like a mental patient

To all my niggas facin' sixty years

Sheddin' tattooed tears, another suicidal on the tier

Takin' private planes, tryin' to survive the game

For all my homies that'll never be alive again

All they promise us is death, nigga

Take a breath, come be the last one left, nigga

It's real now, feel it or fantasize it, ain't nothin' colder

Listen, you can hear it the ballad of a dead soldier

Thug for Life, I will be (this is the ballad of a dead soldier)

A life of crime I will lead (close your eyes, hear the ballad of a dead soldier)

If you play the game, you play to win (this is the ballad of a dead soldier)

It's a crazy world full of sin (close your eyes and hear the ballad of a dead soldier)

This go out to Kato, Mental (this is the ballad of a dead soldier)

All the niggas that passed away

Mutulu, Geronimo, Seyku (close your eyes, ballad of a dead soldier)

All the down-ass riders

All the niggas that put it down, all the soldiers

All the niggas that go through that day-to-day struggle

(This is the ballad of a dead soldier)

All the niggas that passed on

All the niggas with ambition and money in they heart

All the niggas that want some and that don't take none

Hahaha (it's the ballad of a dead soldier)

The police are so scared of us

All the feds they aware of us

They wanna see us dead

They got pictures of a nigga head (ballad of a dead soldier)

Tryin' to see me in chains, shit

Them niggas'll never breathe again

Before they put me in a cell, they'll see me in Hell

('Cause it's the ballad of a dead soldier)

Got my pistols cocked

Run the whole motherfuckin' block; fuck the cops!

The police? We run these streets, nigga

Huh (ain't heard the ballad of a dead soldier)

Heh, these niggas can't see me, half the world wanna be me

Multi-millionaire, shit, it ain't fair

But nigga, you know (it's the ballad of a dead soldier)
