[Hook]
They ain't on your side, the look in they eyes'll
Let you know when you funkin' they gon' hide from the ride
A cotton soldier, cotton soldier (Mitch Bade n***a)
Cotton soldier, cotton soldier (Mitch Bade n***a)
You looked on my side, he stood right beside
But who's the first wabbacotton to slide when he die
The cotton soldier, cotton soldier (Mitch Bade n***a)
Cotton soldier, cotton soldier (Mitch Bade n***a)
[Verse 1]
I re-member this fool I used to work with
Somebody I used to trust and even sold work with
Spectacular how people love this black vernacular
But back in your talkin' he's the one who takes the first lit
Unbeatable, seem like was nothing that could stop this fool
Seem like nobody up in the hood could ever drop this fool
I can hear "I'll beat a n***a, I shoot a n***a, I k** a n***a, I'll do a n***a"
But ain't nobody ever seen this n***a roll up no magazine
'Till one day, on a Sunday, in a Hyundai
Some n***as in the park at back of the ride I stepped outside I was gon' play
I said "wattup" they said "wattup" looked at my boy said "wattup"
The toughest n***a in the universe ain't givin' a f**
I'm stuck in between, heaven and hell and hells seems to lean
My way no heaven's highway this ain't my day-ay-ey!
Punk-a** n***a won't jump at me punk out
Just me and my opponent start to burnin' like ? I'm on it
But check out the way it turned out
Them n***as rushed me and my softie partner burned out
I got my a** beat, in the middle of the street
I was still alive and I told ya 'bout this soft-a** cotton soldier
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
You wanna know, who's made of cotton?
It's that busta with that rich? and yo illegal plottin'
Sittin' at home then thinkin' wondering how much time you facin'
n***a done told the whole shabang up in interrogation
No escapin' unprotected I'm servin' cause this rat ba*tard mastered
The art of tellin' from k**ings to dope sellings
My (?) is stone, aggravation is grown
Cause now I recall when the cops said
Hands on the hood, put down the goods
Keep all the merchandise right here, come on!
Heard the snitch is up in Camerun stammerin'
Cause n***as know a snitch, will end up dead or become somebody's b**h
Think of how it's, funny seein' him singin' ballads
(?) next minute he's tossin' the motherf**ing salad
I was told, cotton swab-a** n***as catch blows
Supposed to be rough and then froze
Said he was down but now I'm downtown awaiting trial in my cell
I can't wait to fold your soft-a** cotton soldier
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Just like a Mitchell Bade, you're such a Mitchell broad
Cotton soldiers be from here to Cape Cod your whole facade's
Unbelievable, I'm illegal so, hand me the gat
Cause this cotton soldier's making actions like "send me the bat"
If I'm in despair, I expect you to have my back
And kick some a** like a motherf**ing democrat
But you procrastinated, now you become belated
(?) Ghandi's hated, I'm gun a**ociated
I stated, the cotton soldiers get the '86 cause (?)
And (?) in '96 will get them n***as highly kicked
In '97 we wettin', cotton swabs
If you had to be rough to work a shift n***a I'd be stoppin' jobs
I spits the real n**ets and I leave your stom like bumblebees
Some of these, like wet n***as go away like tumbleweeds
Go away like humble Gs, don't be tryin' to moulder
(?) that means he'll be a cotton soldier
[Hook]
