Soldier!
Soldier! [Scream!]
Real Recognize Real, we speak, you see, Come on!
Soldier, soldier, soldier! Hey, we back in the street ***
Soldier, soldier, soldier! We back in the game
From the hood it comes, it touches hood *** (solider!)
[military] camouflage, jeans, tims, and mics, our soldier attire (solider!)
imitating is not pure, yaboy is not giss [Wolof proverb comparing types of fish]
real recognize real, we speak, you realize (Come on!)
Soldier, soldier, soldier! We back in the street ***
Soldier, soldier, soldier! We back in the game
I am a soldier of the hood with the mic to your throat
it's not about clothing Fake go *** yourself
Dakar futa [a region of Dakar] Guinguinew [a region] Poutt [a village]
We're Soldiers, officials, higher ranking than an officer
Put out the joint in the ashtray, spirit of saints we uphold
March in the straight-path, climb step by step
well salted [we got flavor] 7th sky (one, two!)
Feet on the ground recognize us with our camouflage if you lack respect we'll drop you, you'll
go home with (only) a half-litre (of blood)
we're not speaking Diola [lesser spoken Senegalese language], you don't burn if you don't touch
give your hand (if you're) missioning for your nation
You're a rebel? Do you you believe only in competition?
Unity is strength, we're in a war without end
We march morning, afternoon, night and day, to get it done
We visit Master Papis, he brings the chorus...
From the hood it comes, it touches hood *** (solider!)
[military] camouflage, jeans, tims, and mics, our soldier attire (solider!)
imitating is not pure, yaboy is not giss [Wolof proverb comparing types of fish]
real recognize real, we speak, you realize (Come on!)
Soldier, soldier, soldier! We back in the street ***
Soldier, soldier, soldier! We back in the game
Microphone soldier, one belief, only God
Swing rhymes like a nunchuka, sharp like a machete hot like pepper
combat skills like Cynthia, technical as a ninja
Strength of ganga, it will hit you, kanja your brain [a slippery vegetable, means: facilitate thought]
We're a couple winners, tell everyone
Man on a mission, end to end, gladiator
Beware, first born to last, if you're not courageous, you'll get eaten
We're strong doing rap, masters of land and sea
You're a soldier? We laugh; Hey! Ignoramus you're just playing with it
You know fish head soup? We'll boil you till golden
If you just stare on cross-eyed one eye
(Motherf#@%er)
We're emissaries of God; the people direct our path
bloodsucking the poor like mosquitoes; we've had enough, that's enough!
We chase crazy bald heads; dig hundreds of tunnels
Our dreadlocks signify our mission to survey/protect
From the hood it comes, it touches hood *** (solider!)
[military] camouflage, jeans, tims, and mics, our soldier attire (solider!)
imitating is not pure, yaboy is not giss [Wolof proverb comparing types of fish]

Professor D, not only up in the professorship I'm a rap conscript in this global class conflict
All over the world I travel assembling troops, rebel-i-ous
roots I cultivate and render recruits from the lumpen
pro(letariat), bad to the bone, the poor are of utmost importance
Ghetto soldier means we fight on the side of the wretched
Economic equality is part of real democracy It's not just about electing this or that leader
As a soldier of the street against the state I'll break the jaw
of any arm of the law who protects and serves only the propertied class
who eat all that does not belong to them, we'll eradicate the unjust
With words like sacred arms, beware to those who cross us
They sell a version of democracy to the people that is fake
it is freedom in words and bondage in reality
they oppress the hood but we're clearing away their ***
little by little we expose the edifice of lies
From the hood it comes, it touches hood *** (solider!)
[military] camouflage, jeans, tims, and mics, our soldier attire (solider!)
imitating is not pure, yaboy is not giss [Wolof proverb comparing types of fish]
real recognize real, we speak, you realize (Come on!)
Soldier, soldier, soldier! We back in the street ***
Soldier, soldier, soldier! We back in the game
Attention!
Professor D, from U.S.
All Right from KMF, Senegal, Yeah!
