I was given the badge a while ago
Congrats, you are the commander officer
And I shook his hand, tears rolling down my face, no
Memories of the phrase that my father
Always spoke
Moved me so deeply
The phrase that many fall upon cheaply
“What sh** you speak is the sh** you need
To sew the hurts in this seed
So as I walked out of that office
I knew they can't get it off us
The d**h that I dreaded would
Pain me but if I could
I can jump off that plane and feel weightless
Like the men losing their lives, lateness. Oh!
But it was too late for me
It was getting to hard to see
Inexplicably
I was lost in America and did not what would be in store
For me
To meet my new horror in controllably
One more dollar, to buy me a beer
Hope and pray to God that he can steer
The way to success
That I truly alone could not express
But what I did not know is that America had changed
The country that you have fought for all your life
Has turned its back to leave you in strife
As I am crawling through the darkness, lead me home. And I cry, cry, cry out to nobody. My veins burn my chest and the pain could not get any worse. That is in the war zone. That is the War Zone
Me:
You would never believe it
The words that I spit
America has become the war zone
And all the veterans the hurled comments they have thrown
This is for me and my people
To the crown and my steeple
For our country who stands proud is now still
In the silence you can hear the woman's shrill
Racism could be a problem
But veterans on the streets, it stands solemn
So Pardon me Mr. President
You have a roof over your back
While a veteran is carrying his only possession in his sack
I believe the U.S. pa**ed the law
And for you to say there is not a flaw
Is just freaked
And you get s**ed
In what they believe
Send people to Iraq
What the freak is that supposed to mean?
We have already put in the money
But sir we are not credential
Have you ever seen a war that we have won to begin with???
Freak no, hell nah, you may not agree with me
But these veterans actually know the truth
Have fought in the war
They have seen hell in there youth
But all the riches you have seen you are just a who*e
Let me make this clear…
Freak! I have already made this clear
These men and women have spent their lives in the army
They should not be considered disregardedly
So as you're sending troops to defeat ISIS
Do I really need to remind you lets not get into another crisis
Take care of these men and women
And you release the demon as you get freaked
God help us
As I am crawling through the darkness, lead me home. And I cry, cry, cry out to nobody. My veins burn my chest and the pain could not get any worse. That is in the war zone. That is the War Zone
There is no peace no sign of it. 3 times In the desert, in the desert, in the hills, in the hills, in the plains, in the plains, there is no peace no sight of it
