Frontline Soldier (feat. Abaleanie)

Growing up in the city where I come from
You either lay down or get down
You hold your own or get beat down
I was a youngin' when I jumped up off the porch
Had to stand on my own but I'm a man now
Had to learn to make my own way
Did a lot of things to get paid
But I survived in a world full of killers
And a city full of demons, I'm a soldier
Frontline soldier

I am the pinnacle of excellence
Grew up in a city where you're better off a pessimist
Treat us like we animals so niggas carry llamas
Feed into the drama can't accumulate them commas
We need some more Obama's but they treats us like Osama's
I'm eating everything go head and see me like a Dahmer
I pray my sons and daughters never have to plead your honor
Already make me proud because each one of them are scholars
The power of a dollar I'ma teach em all to save
Think and understand. don't ever be a mental slave
Mind, body, soul don't wind up in a early grave
That's A.C. New Horizons y'all just walk the path I pave
The streets don't give you nothing
Gotta earn it or you take it
Life is not a game once you learn it you can make it
Never is it easy if it's worth it you gone hate it
But once you get there, man the frontlines rare

Growing up in the city where I come from
You either lay down or get down
You hold your own or get beat down
I was a youngin' when I jumped up off the porch
Had to stand on my own but I'm a man now
Had to learn to make my own way
Did a lot of things to get paid
But I survived in a world full of killers
And a city full of demons, I'm a soldier

Ayo they call it killa city
That's the first time I said it though, I think it kills the city
Think like poppers clothing, what I mean I am the city
Last name should be Cleaver they gone think I ran the city
Strange ain't it, they never thought that I'd be wordy
Coming from the 30's told my son to just observe me
Your words could never hurt me, I been up and down like burpees
Landed on my feet and learned to fish I had to eat
When I speak it's all elite, come get a contact high
Frontline can tell you Dodo's are not that fly
Before you win like Jay Rock, you gotta try try try
Get in the mindset of knowing there's a chance you'll be denied
But push through it, get a passion and get fluent
Be in the class all your own and you're never truant
Always acquire knowledge in a lump sum
This the kinda shit I learned

Growing up in the city where I come from
You either lay down or get down
You hold your own or get beat down
I was a youngin' when I jumped up off the porch
Had to stand on my own but I'm a man now
Had to learn to make my own way
Did a lot of things to get paid
But I survived in a world full of killers
And a city full of demons, I'm a soldier
