[Lyric] Soldier/Thank You Interlude (Shane, The Shaman)

Soldier/Thank You Interlude
Prod. By Artivi$t


Could never go back
Was lost without a trace, I was low, jack
Trynna find my place ‘round where the ho’s at
A piece of the pie, thought the guys would let me hold that
Foolish and misguided, with me I was dishonest
Could barely look in the mirror
Saw a reflection but couldn’t feel him
I don’t know that dude
Where your soul at, fool?
Toes froze; can’t move
Locked myself in the room; found a book and a pen like a studious lifer would do
Still too nervous to pursue my purpose
And let some real shit surface
Know I’d turn arenas into churches
I Learned from the serpents and a few good men who y’all called worthless
Ascended to higher conscious; I can’t vibe with you mere earthlings
God my only sparring partner, my reach getting longer
My chest getting harder
My voice getting stronger
Could hear me stomping
Should call me karma how I’m creeping up on ya
Proud; I bear my scars
Flaws and all
Through the falls, yo I learned my worth
Now I overcharge for what it cost
Bare witness
Coal turned to diamonds like Roc Nation signings
God built a soldier; came at perfect timing
Listen
Said I ain’t gonn fold, God built a fucking Soldier

This is my time; ima show ya
Faith like mine move mountains and boulders
Heard niggas saying that the sound here is so done
Fuck talking bout it; let the raps slap till their fucking nose run
New York; the coldest. Coming for what i’m owed, ‘cause I heard fortune favors the bold
And so it’s told; rain, sleet, hail or snow
We disciplined and centered upon the goal
Shane coming with the heart and the soul
Listen, From the concrete this was grown
We built it organic; other side can’t stand it
I’m On the head of my foes
No remorse
With a Pen mighty as the sword; don me a literary Shogun
In my Space Jams and my Nike sweater
Come bear witness to the 19th letter
And Know that I won’t let up
My feet planted on the neck of whoever
You either with it or you in the way
Better clear your head up

I’m better than ever
Stacked by bread up
I fail? Never
Shit is better when you taking the stairs
Elevate and don’t apologize
Got aligned, out of my mind
And in my hands where my destiny lies
It’s my time
For your patience, I’m grateful
Made in his image, and I’m working in mysterious ways too
There’s no mistaking
The stage is set for Shane to step through and catch wreck
Everything I manifest, I’m out to get
My flow prophetic
Motherfucker
Soldier, nigga
