Soldier To A General Lyrics

    [napolean - verse 1]
    Yo, it's gettin colder with time, thug rollers with rhymes
    Gotta look out for the spineless, marchin with mines
    Outlawz on the grind, in the back of my mind
    Gotta watch out for the one-time all the time
    Lot of fights on the block, so i walk with my glock
    First head get hot, gettin shot on the spot
    It's a sticky sitch-e-ation, tryin to duck to hatin
    Fuckin with my family, i get worse than satan
    Turnin niggaz out, at a young age
    It's what my life story's about, i ain't afraid
    Turnin in the water, gaspin' for air
    But i'm in the air at the same time, searchin for land
    It's the life of a man, without no parents to call
    Had to learn right and wrong when it's on, fuck all y'all
    Walkin through the cemetery talkin to the dead
    Conversation we gonna keep between us, heard what he said
    Think about the niggaz that can't make it to see tomorrow
    Left his family all alone cause he got hit by the lead
    Drama on the streets is what the outlawz fed
    And if your ass get out of line, you got a price on your head

    [chorus - young noble]
    I was born all alone, i'mma die all alone (yeah)
    So i ride all alone, from a soldier to a general
    I taught myself, went to court myself (uh-huh)
    Made a choice, from a soldier to a general
    A boy to a man, ain't nobody give a damn (fuck that!)
    Live the streets without nobody, from a soldier to a general
    We was raised around criminals, and played around criminals
    The game of a criminal, from a soldier to a general

    [kastro - verse 2]
    I walk around with the weight of the world
    Faith in my shotty since i made it my girl (love you)
    Oh! somebody save me please, i've been
    Brought up amongst these scram blest thieves and
    All they can show me is i fight with my muscle and (uh-huh)
    I'd do anything for these stripes in the struggle and
    Happiness is hennessey, mixes, and bitches and i'm all about my riches
    From a small time grinder to a timer am i
    Scandalous mind is a constant reminder of the
    Evil these men do, struggle contend you
    Lord, what you got your boy all into
    I must be mental, i must by psycho
    Crazy deranged and my brains with a rifle
    That's the price we pay to have life today
    Will i have it any other way? no way (oh)

    [e.d.i. mean - verse 3]
    Seems like my addiction to the streets been a life long one
    I chose to wrong damn crease
    See momma work her fingers to the bone to make me a happy home
    But i chose the wrong, steppin out on my own
    Intrigued by them big-league niggaz with the blow
    See my first dead man as a kid in eighty-four
    Seen crack come and turn bums to millionaires
    Turn and die a bitch out, oh, and now she don't care
    Something bought the ghetto in the summer, make niggaz tougher
    Niggaz die to be fresh, so we all turn to hustlas
    Some stuck with it, some really couldn't fuck with it
    Some trust the wrong, and now they gone
    Them flowers for the dead, all the powers in my head
    I give a fuck what them cowards said, i'm all about my bread
    Struggle love to, huh, hustle ball to
    From a soldier to a general, nigga you better let em through

    Chorus

    [young noble - verse 4]
    I grew up, like every other kid in the ghetto
    Up the hill on my mountain bike, struggle to peddle
    I was a freshman with no medals
    But i earned my stripes
    Wrong turns made me burn my life
    Got a comment 'fore you walk soldier, follow the rules
    Be a leader when i see you, don't follow the crew
    There's only one way to live and one way to die
    One way to fail and one way to try
    My eyes bloodshot from the drugs on the block
    And my thugs on the block got slugs for the cops
    My moms loves my pops but she hurtin herself
    Laid off, so she broke, not workin herself
    On my own at fifteen, learnin the ropes quick
    Had to eat so i hustled, turnin my coat quick
    I ain't no shit, only how to be a criminal
    But plan to expand from a soldier to a general
