Intro

When you woven dreams around them

It's hard to know, where to go

When she believes when she says she’s gonna leave

Chorus: Noah King

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I’m a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

How the hell did I get here, what am I doing?

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I’m a soldier in the war in the Devil’s soldier

Man what the hell I'm doing here, why’d I even get here?

Verse 1: Noah King

Alcoholic tendencies man wanted felonies

Cigarettes infested the flesh of little nee's

Can't escape it, bottle after bottle

With every set creates another dig for my mama

Liquor on the curb for the homies in my sorrow

So much oldie in me I'm buzzed till tomorrow

Half my paycheck I took straight to the neck

Then I wonder why my ex girlfriend left

I try to kiss a new one she can smell my breath

Seven in the morning taking forty’s to the head

Confused all the time always spoke gettin shit

Priorities lined always have to get lit

Long as I'm faded I dream of getting famous

But it'll never happen cuz I'm numb to real ass life

And I could give a flying fuck what it seemed like

A child hard in a grown mind being nice

Chorus: Noah King

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

How the hell did I get here, what am I doing?

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's soldier

Man what the hell I'm doing here, why'd I even get here?

Verse 2: A-dub

I envision my life to shine with a brighter glisten

But time is ticking and grimy living's behind me nipping

At my heels, further from Pepsi Cola's and happy meals

To where I need to have swag or the cash to steal

I wouldn't grab to steal the match to protect personas

So I broke into the pad and stole those stash extra borders

Said I could find between the mattress or the sofas

But that wouldn't buy me Nike's nor a fresh controller

My parents gave me chores until some level border

But this would only make me go against the separate orders

Started slipping on my classes and it left me cornered

But if they didn't love ya, then they'll never told ya

You might end up in a casket or a metal fortress

If you get blasted or oppressed by the special forces

I'm a soldier on this war on the Devil's shoulder

Once you open up that door then you can never close it

Chorus: Noah King

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

How the hell did I get here, what am I doing?

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's soldier

Man what the hell I'm doing here, why'd I even get here?

Verse 3

I'm a soldier in the war on the Devil's shoulder

Smell the odor coming off this coke and Henny soda

Smell the doja when I'm getting all this meddy rolled up

I'm the reason that it's heavy up on every corner

I'm the amphetamine when you sniffin yo speed

I'm the promethazine when you sippin yo lean

I'm the LSD that's infesting your spleen

I'm the thought that be the girl just hit it and leave

I'm a soldier on the shoulder of the Devil's side

Tryna do what's right before electric chairs leave my belly fried

I'm everything bad here to Singapore

The rush criminals get us robbed and liquor stores

Try to do right nah I just gave in

I'm the thoughts that'd get you in the state pen

A second guessing yourself that you'll never blow up

Hold up, I thought I told ya

Chorus: Noah King

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

How the hell did I get here, what am I doing?

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's soldier

Man what the hell I'm doing here, why'd I even get here?

Verse 4: Nieve

Feel like I got em going to places I don't want to

Surfing dark places you really don't wanna walk through

Corners of my mind and avenues that will haunt you

I see dead people at least it's someone to talk you

Why all these troubles so heavy try to get up but it won't let me

Memories in my mind that I constantly have been regretting

Waking up in the sweat I swear somebody's out to get me

Drowning without a paddle in the jungle no machete

My lady she wouldn't let me didn't give it a try

I used to believe in love but now I'm living a lie

Living to die the truth it went up in a blaze

The minute I saw the guilty evil look on her face

I look to escape jumping out the window to fall

But what I thought was a window ain't a window at all

It's all in my mind, makes it even that much worse

The Devil is taking over even rap my verse

Chorus: Noah King

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

How the hell did I get here, what am I doing?

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's shoulder

I'm a soldier in the war in the Devil's soldier

Man what the hell I'm doing here, why'd I even get here?
