Da Hood Soldiers

Not ur ordinary soldier,they battle a war they know will never b over. No army fatigue,juz baggy jeans n a tee.Hustlin in da streets tryin 2 make ends meat,fightin 2 survive so they can provide 4 they families. Makin money illegaly cuz da government won't hire them legaly. They have no choice but 2 turn 2 da streets.Street soldiers is wat they r. They fight n strive juz 2 stay alive.Every street has they own army,soldiers ready 2 die cuz they know how they live juz ain't right.Dodgin bullets n sellin drugs,they go home 2 they loved ones n pray 2 da man above. They have no choice cuz where we from,we have no voice.They will never know about the talented young souls till they 6ft under,alone n cold. R.I.P. 2 all da fallen hood soldiers....
