I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier

I'm the one who they call when the times get hard

Yeah

I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier I'm a soldier

When times get hard I'm who they call

I'm a soldier

When my backs against the wall I don't break and I won't fall

I'm a soldier

I know how it feels to be caught in the rain going to war in your brain

When depression is staring you

Right in the face and anxieties

Grabbing you making you shake

But there's people depending on you to be great

So you hide all the feelings

And push them away

It's too hard trying to mix it all with the pain I'm drinking to cool off

And it's all in my veins

I'm making these new songs to move on

And restrain from grabbing a sawed off

And going to cock it and aim

At these nuanced influenced people

Who shame the role that a man has to play as a husband a father a brother a son

Who is serve 'n' protecting his families name

They laugh in your face when you try to explain or express

Then tell you they love you without any loyalty patience or basic respect then expect

You to smile every day while it eats at your mind and your soul

And your flesh and you work and you wither away till the day that you can't and you're broken andnothing is left and you're old and you can't even

I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier I'm a soldier

When times get hard I'm who they call

I'm a soldier

I'm the one who they call when the times get hard

When my backs against the wall I don't break and I won't fall

I'm a soldier

I go to war for my dogs

I'm a soldier I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier

I'm a give you my all just don't break my heart

I'm a soldier I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier

My pronouns are he him his

My my job is to feedthese kids

Be strong keep feelings within

My Pappa taught me to protect the weak a man ain't what he got a man is what he gives

And when he gives it all and it still ain't enough then he's the one to blame and no one gives a ****

Never leave a man behind

We all crack and break within the hands of time

I got axe to grind

With anybody tryna identify as a guy if they chromosomes ain't XY

You will never understand what it's like for a man gotta fight with your hands wanna cry

But you can't if it's right for the fam you will tighten your pants provide

And romance you would die where you stand

Gotta be the bigger man when there's problems

Get judged by the money in your wallet

It's our fault let's be honest

We built the world that labelled us toxic

Gotta lead and teach and keep the peace

And fight the fires and be police

When a man gets tired he don't lay down to sleep

He take all the heat

Don't complain or retreat

It's a cold world and it's hard times and our children inherit the land

If you think that being a boy is just picking a pronoun you should try being Dad

You could build all the houses and fix all the cars and work till it's breaking your back

But the hardest job world

Being a man

I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier I'm a soldier

When times get hard I'm who they call

I'm a soldier

I'm the one who they call when the times get hard

When my backs against the wall I don't break and I won't fall

I'm a soldier

I go to war for my dogs

I'm a soldier I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier

I'm a give you my all just don't break my heart

I'm a soldier I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier

Battling feelings I can't even show

Weight of the world on my shoulders

Is crushing me people around me

They don't even know we

I put on this cape then go save everybody while I'm being shattered

And all of my bones take on the pressure

Of being the hero who saves

But has no one help with his own

Demons inside that try to eat him alive

I'm going insane and when I'm out my mind

I look at stars and talk to God in the sky

I wait on his words but I don't get a reply

I try to refrain from diving deep so I

Hold back tears that try to come

Out my eyes in this world as a man

Where we know we can't cry

Cause the people we love

Look in us to confide so I'm

Silently screaming for help

Life is a battle inside of these trenches especially when fighting it all by yourself

PTSD from the memories people who left you for dead

And then drag you through hell

Leaving you shocked deep inside of a shell with stories you hate but nobody to tell

While you question God if your soul you should sell

I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier I'm a soldier

When times get hard I'm who they call

I'm a soldier

I'm the one who they call when the times get hard

When my backs against the wall I don't break and I won't fall

I'm a soldier

I go to war for my dogs

I'm a soldier I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier

I'm a give you my all just don't break my heart

I'm a soldier I'm a soldier

I'm a soldier
