Street Soldiers (Saxapella Reprise) chords and lyrics - MC HAMMER

Lời & hợp âm

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