Lyrics
Soldier oh soldier
Soldier oh soldier
Na mama pikin you be oh

Please don’t go to war
Mama dey for house
She’s been crying for so long
She say why do you play with bullets
Don’t go to war
She say why do you play with your life
Don’t go to war
Don’t go fight another man’s battles
Don’t go to war
Don’t go fight your countries battles
Don’t go to war
She say I born you
I carry you for nine months
And I love you
And when I’m old I want you to be here to take care of me

And if they lose you they only lost one soldiier
But if I lose you

If they lose you
They only lost one soldiier
But if mama lose you
She’s lost her whole damn world

If she lose you
