Lyrics:

No jobs to occupy my time
What else you expect me to do except crime It ain't stealing if it's something I just find Refuse to lose with this trouble on my mind

Johnny Law come knocking at my door
But the police don't scare me anymore
I've been in that back seat so many times before

Soldier in the city
I'ma soldier in the city, whoohoo I'ma soldier in the city
Soldier in the city

Trying to make some cheese outta all of these stamps Wanna find a queen but all I'm seeing is tramps Everyday feels like I'm away at boot camp
Badass little kids busting out the street lamps

Neighborhood hustler, come knocking at my door Gotta pay my debts need to settle the score
I don't want no more trouble from these fellas no more

Soldier in the city
I'ma soldier in the city, whoohoo
I'ma soldier in the city Soldier in the city

Whoo hoo

Soldier in the city
I'ma soldier in the city, whoohoo I'ma soldier in the city
Soldier in the city

Can you hear me marching, left, left, left right left (Fighting to survive trying to stay alive)
You can hear me marching, left, left, left right left (Fighting to survive trying to stay alive)
Can you hear me marching, left, right, left, don't you know

Soldier in the city
(Left, left, left right left)
I'ma soldier in the city, whoohoo (Left, left, left right left)
I'ma soldier in the city
(Left, left, left right left)
Soldier in the city
