Tonart: G minor
Verse 1
Em
This one goes out to all
the soldiers in the streets.
I didn't make it to dance too.
Bm
It could be the last dance.
So I want you to stop.
Em
Stop and think for a minute.
Bm
Why are you killing yourselves?
Why are brothers killing brothers?
My brother
Bm
Em
Why is anyone killing each other?
Am
Bm
Street soldier God help me
Em
What's up God help me
Bm
Em
Am
Bm
Em
Just another day, another drive -by,
Bm
Em
just like that somebody else dies,
but you have a number
Am
Bm
Is it up to date?
Em
I can't worry about that
How many times do you think
Bm
you can take someone else
Before the knock at the door
comes and you recognize it
Looking you straight in the eyes
Bm
Em
A street soldier checking in, it's life
That's the way a street soldier lives
Bm
I don't know about you my brother
But I don't want to go out like
Em
Am
Bm
that
Em
How many times can someone tell you
Bm
Em
that killing makes a man?
On the block that I grew up on,
Am
Bm
if you was living, you was in, man.
Em
Yeah, I see what you mean.
Bm
So many people locked down.
It's hard to keep up with all
Em
the names.
Another victim.
Am
Bm
Em
Another sucker to the game.
can't knock a man
for trying to survive.
Bm
I wouldn't do that, I know what's up.
Em
You know what time it is, man.
Am
Bm
But why survive for four or five years
Em
Bm
Em
and check in the rest of your life?
I want to give up my life like that.
Nah, it just don't seem
Bm
Em
There's got to be another way.
What's up, skilled soldier?
What are you going to do?
One, two, three, four, five,
Em
You've seen them go to hell.
One day you're just kickin' it, laughin',
Am
Bm
Em
Bm
Em
lovin'.
You've gotten so cold,
watching your brother die.
Sometime I wonder
Am
Bm
Em
You're walking but are you really alive?
You lost the ability to love
Bm
D
Bm
What a price to pay
Em
Sisters and brothers
They don't even know
Am
you anymore
Bm
Em
They don't even come your way
When you first started slinging that dope
D
You know, you said you was
doing it for the money.
Bm
Em
Now the same crackhead jokes
you used to make about somebody else,
they making them about you man,
life sure is hard.
I remember you man,
when you weighed about 210,
Bm
you know, trying to handle
Bm
Now you're weighing a buck
Em
Am
and a quarter.
Bm
Em
Bm
Em
Don't go out like this.
Don't go out like this,
Bm
Em
it's never too late,
Bm
Em
pull yourself together man,
Am
Em
killin it where it is,
to live is great,
if you can live, pray for me man. you
