?Souljahs March? (Jake?s Theme)
Music: C. Simmons
Lyrics: C. Simmons and D. Simmons

VERSE I
Uncle Sam had a plan and I was just phase one ? I ended up on the wrong side of an enemy gun.
Now I?m a million-dollar man giving his two cents ? Another piece of my mind for the evidence
The world was my oyster, my girl was the pearl ? I left Parris Island thinking I was gonna save the world.
But all I have left is the song I sang before the end, tried to save a friend. You know you can?t win.

It?s like the world is against me, someone up there must hate. Everyone I thought I knew was so quick to betray me
I thought my head was gonna spin, felt like giving in but you know what they say: ?That?s when the terrorists win.?
So
When the saga turns to drama and all the baby?s mamas start screaming up to heaven for Jesus to do something.
I?ll pick up the phone cause Jay ain?t home. I?m ready to roll, sing it with soul. Here we go, y?all.

CHORUS
And the souljahs march into the sun
With ten grenades and a loaded gun
Haven?t you heard? The war is done.
We all lost ?cause no one won
While the grown men faint and the women cry
The children live and the reasons die
Haven?t you heard? Then don?t ask why
As the souljahs march into the sky

VERSE II
You don?t know what you got until you lose it, but you don?t get to choose it.
Then there?s a flash and then your life turns to ash without warning. Still see the new day dawning; a reign of peace, or is it pieces of all that?s ever been lost? And I never count the cost of what I?ve been giving, never count the years that I might go on living, never kept a list of all the unforgiven, damned and driven, times I thought life wasn?t worth living no more



It?s like the world is my enemy, but someone out there must know me. Everyone I think I know is changing so rapidly
I think my head is caving in, but when I feel like giving in then the terrorists win.
So
When the system turns to shadows and all things you had just go flying out the window like a bullet from a pistol.
I?ll open both eyes and face it all with pride. Take your side, man alive. Ride or die!

~ CHORUS I ~

VERSE III
Life begins and ends. Your foes turn friends or friends to foes, you can?t control how it goes.
But it?s like somebody up there knows; that somebody cares and you know that it shows.
Because we all got hope and that?ll never leave at least I prayed that it won?t.
Cause if it does I?m ready to give up the ghost. The most beautiful thing that you heard, that?s the magic of the verse and the word.

~ CHORUS I ~

CHORUS II
And the bombs explode and the blood will flow
The preachers tell you they don?t know
The answers to the lies they told
And the souljahs pick up their guns and go
While the airplanes crash and the bullets fly
The bodies hit the floor and the souljahs sigh
Haven?t you heard their long goodbye?
Then let the souljahs march into the fight

~ CHORUS I ~
