Soldier

(album: The Brave - 2022)

I ain't giving up
They can try and tear me down, but that will never be enough
'Til every bone breaks and I'm covered in blood
I'ma fight 'til my heart don't pump
Every night that the light don't come, I'ma rise like I'm the sun
I'ma grind my knife, I'ma shine my gun
I'ma dry my eyes, never bite my tongue
I'ma climb to the heights and I'll strike at dawn
I'm a soldier loaded, so devoted
Only focused on the goals I've chosen
What is most important's forward motion
I ain't never slowing down for no more explosions
On a warship floating in the coldest ocean
Storm rolled in and my clothes are soaking
Y'all don't want a war when the snow starts blowing
And my hands are frozen to the guns I'm holding

I won't give up
I won't turn around
Tell them if I ain't enough
Let 'em shoot me down
And my whole life I ran from the fight
'Cause my whole life I lost every time, but
I won't give up
I ain't backing down

I ain't giving up
All my time it took too much
All that grind, I kicked up dust
Left you behind like, so what?
I make moves, you ride my wave
I quit now, you just at wait
No umbrella, safety's off
I'ma have to let it rain
I'm waiting for the door to open
On the other side with two guns loaded
Looking at the time like it's almost the moment
Cross that line, am I off my opponent?
Condolence, take that L and hold it
Wave that flag you folded, you know it
You drowning in this ocean

I won't give up
I won't turn around
Tell them if I ain't enough
Let 'em shoot me down
And my whole life I ran from the fight
'Cause my whole life I lost every time, but
I won't give up
I ain't backing down

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
I ain't giving up until they kill me or I win it
If I gotta be a soldier
I'ma be a soldier
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
I ain't giving up until they kill me or I win it
If I gotta be a soldier
I'ma be a soldier

I won't give up
I won't turn around
Tell them if I ain't enough
Let 'em shoot me down
And my whole life I ran from the fight
'Cause my whole life I lost every time, but
I won't give up
I ain't backing down
