M.I. Abaga and Tomi Owo - Soldier

Another day another dawn
And you're still in the morning
See the sun high up where it belongs
But to you it's still morning
Cause at first light the battle begin
There is that and I'm your patient
In there now or never
You wanna surrender

Cause this is your fight you runner
Whenever you're ready wanna
Fight under your own fear
Don't let it bring it to your kneels
Cause this is your fight you runner
Whenever you're ready wanna
For life for life and country
For love and family

Lift your head soldier
Pick your head up solider don't cry
Lift your hеad soldier
Pick your head up solider don't cry

Hmm yеah
They tell us boys don't cry but they don't tell us why
So when tears starts to fill up my eyes I wanna hide
We talk about it like it's a badge of honour our pride
But guess who is the leading victims of suicide
It's young men who don't know the way to emote
Could be dealing with stress or his heart could be broken
All this hurdle it's starts partly when fathering
Now we're fathers we'd carven them into hard men just starving for hope
And now the world is changing rapidly happily I embrace it
But learning how to be a good man is proving evasive
See toxic masculinity in it we all will suffer
But all I know is be tougher to feed and protect my lover
And yeah It's what I was taught that I must be
And honestly I wanna be better but promise me
That you can show me how I will not punish or tarnish me
It's no laughing matter no comedy I'm asking for a friend

Lift your head soldier
Pick your head up solider don't cry
Lift your head soldier
Pick your head up solider don't cry (Soldier don't cry soldier, don't cry)

This is for the fathers the husbands the soldiers the workers
The young men trynna to be good to find purpose in a world
Telling you to be strong or else you're worthless
It hurts that we've brought them to earth just to scratch the surface
I asked ten of my female friends to share their lens
To tell me what's it like to be like them to get a sense
Six of them had been raped and all ten had been assaulted
I halted I couldn't believe how we are faulted
Nighty five percent of crimes end in loss of lives
How bout us we the killers, we the cult, the gangs, the cops, the serial murderers
We the ones at night making the world unsafe
And what we need is a son for light
I'm penning this hoping that when you're ramming this
We can start from the genesis every man should be feminists
Find intimate the world a better place I know it's hard
I see you cover your tears but what you gon do about those scars

Lift your head soldier
Pick your head up solider don't cry
Lift your head soldier
Pick your head up solider don't cry
Lift your head soldier
Lift your head soldier
Lift your head soldier
Lift your head soldier (Don't cry don't cry don't cry)
Pick your head up solider don't cry (Don't cry don't cry don't cry)

Lift your head soldier (Don't cry don't cry don't cry)
