Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know if you ever lost somebody my nigga.
I'm sorry for your loss, rest in peace to all my niggas dead and gone
Free all my niggas behind bars nigga. I ain't gon' never forget y'all nigga

I lost soldiers, I lost soldiers
Rest in peace my homies, they some soldiers
I lost soldiers, I lost soldiers
Lord free all my homies cause they some soldiers
You ever killed somebody? I killed a soldier
You talking on phone for hours to them soldiers
You pulled down on somebody with them soldiers
I lost soldiers, I lost soldiers

Went to World War 3 but we ain't go to Iraq
We were posted on the block, we was movin' that pack
We was shootin' at the ops then the ops shot back
They killed my nigga, I can't get him back
You can never be forgave nigga
Took my nigga life away nigga
Ain't never ever gon' get away my wet
Your baby mama wet your baby nigga
We gon' pull the homicide nigga
I got tears in my eyes nigga
We gon' kill everybody
You gotta die you kill one of my niggas, yeah

I lost soldiers, I lost soldiers
Rest in peace my homies, they some soldiers
I lost soldiers, I lost soldiers
Lord free all my homies cause they some soldiers
You ever killed somebody? I killed a soldier
You talking on phone for hours to them soldiers
You pulled down on somebody with them soldiers
I lost soldiers, I lost soldiers

I'm in the trap house, I got the Mac out
I don't trust nobody, I knock your back out
Wanna rob me nigga? Bet you won't make it out
Go to war with me nigga, bitch you better take me out
Lost so many niggas, lost so many niggas
Don't wanna lose no more
Went on so many missions
Done so many killin's
Lotta niggas said they with me
For my niggas I'ma ride or die
If my nigga run in on a murder
Swear to God I'ma have the man
'Cause that's my soldier

I lost soldiers, I lost soldiers
Rest in peace my homies, they some soldiers
I lost soldiers, I lost soldiers
Lord free all my homies cause they some soldiers
You ever killed somebody? I killed a soldier
You talking on phone for hours to them soldiers




You pulled down on somebody with them soldiers
I lost soldiers, I lost soldiers
