I said I Gotta stay ten cuz mama dukes raised a soldier boy Carrying these burdens My shoulders holding up boulders boy The world is cold but I could never fold because I'm colder boy I'm locked in They ask me how I do it tryna decode the boy I clocked in then got in some work Ha I'm so employed When God made me gave me some stripes like I'm some corduroys The enemy sent forces on my course but I been war deployed Now I can holler Feel like Keke Palmer with this joyful noise Mama you done raised a soldier I just wanna make you proud You know I can't say it's over not until I got the crown Mama you done raised a soldier Look ma I'm a man now I promise you you raised a soldier Ain't gon be no man down And even when it's mayday I'm still gon find a way way To make everyday feel like a vacay or a pay day I gotta stay afloat Boy the boat is never sinking And I could never stay down for long f*ck was you thinking Stand tall got me looking like I'm Zach Randolph I went to the university of adversity And it was hurting me but never ran off And I was beaten up the stove was heating up but I had never took the pan off Or my hand off Had to fan off Wasn't a damn soft thing to land off But I landed anyway Manned up anyway Remember being broke planned for penny days I was really broken it was many days Now I get to shining it ain't plenty shade Yeah Remember being tired got some energy But I could never let it be the end of me Cuz I know people in my life depend on me Hometown hero give the youngins somethin' to look up to Metal fragments on some magnets guess it's somethin' that I'm stuck to I'm moving militantly like a hut one and a hut two And I got the drive to move forward strong That's some real AmericanMuscle I'm like don't give up you're almost there Lock in boy it's first and goal But it ain't enough now Need the touch down touch the earth and go People finna hate you Just move on don't take it personal How bad you wanna rise above the tide You better search your soul Mama you done raised a soldier I just wanna make you proud You know I can't say it's over not until I got the crown Mama you done raised a soldier Look ma I'm a man now I promise you you raised a soldier Ain't gon be no man down And even when it's mayday I'm still gon find a way way To make everyday feel like a vacay or a pay day I gotta stay afloat Boy the boat is never sinking And I could never stay down for long f*ck was you thinking
