Chapter 19:

(Hook)

Prayers go to heaven, when you close your eyes

The gunshot sounds come as no surprise

When living in a soldier man town

When living in a soldier man town

No sunshine skies are grey

But we live this night and day

I Guess I'm living in a solider man town

I Guess I'm living in a solider man town

[Verse 2:]

Lord bless me with another topic, public defender

No dream team, no Johnny Cockrin

The mothers of my children got they own specific ways

Head first in the game, keep hunger pains away

When Grandfather passed away, I heard him say you the man of the family

Never thought the Judge and the DA's would try to slam me

Now I understand that it, ain't no understanding

Money in my hand, my respect, I'm demanding

Label label me reckless safe to say a loose cannon

Fast cars, fast broads, and penitentiary chances

Broke it off they like family, big dawgs got involved

Now the kid is outstanding

Nike sweats, White G-Stock look who out standing on the block

Fiends passing, watching things harassing

Stop it, in the street I'm tryna see a profit

Can't go get a job, I ain't got no other option

[Outro:]

True life confessions, expressing what I believe

Scars on the surface, with mines I can bleed

Everything I lost, eventually Ima see

Lay my life down, holding my weapon willing to squeeze

Stuck in the street life

Sucking my teeth like

Hustle to eat, while I'm, clutching my heat

Object of the game was to stack and get out of here

Shoulda never changed, so I'm trapped, can't get out of here

Kevin Gates - Soldier Man

Terrell knew he was going out on a limb when he made the phone call, but he was all out of options. "Hello." The cold voice on the other end of the phone said.

"What's up, pops?" Terrell asked.

The phone was silent for a few moments. Terrell hadn't talked to his father in ages. "What's going on?" His father asked sounding surprised. Terrell and his father were just about the same type of man except his father was much more chill and couldn't settle down to save his life. He had at least 10 other children that Terrell had never met before. Terrell didn't want to meet them to be honest.
