92 to 94 percent of you fuckers
Fall short
'Cause only 6 to 8 is or has ever been
A soldier before
Sure it's cute to imitate our likeness
And never go to war
But the closest you've been to in theaters
With your bitch and some popcorn pussy
I'm tryin' to believe you
And everythin' y'all tellin' me
But I have seen soldiers, first hand
And it's not what y'all sellin' me
So could you please
Pull your brand from the shelf
And anymore songs identifyin' you with me
Keep 'em to yourself
'Cause though you may have stood behind us
You ain't never stood wit us
'Cause I ain't never seen you on the blocks here
When them ambushes hit us
And please don't think
Just 'cause you bought some fatigues
And run around with your little guns
Playin' war back home in the streets
That you could ever in any lifetime
Be a reflection of me
'Cause I have deployed to go war
And you aint got the balls to leave
So for me could you please
Shut the fuck up
And let me know when your done on my dick
So I can zip my pants back up
Walk a mile in my boots
You couldn't make it
Sure you all soldiers at home
But out here you can't fake it
That's why y'all ain't here
Ain't it?
It's just easier to act hard on credit
Than it is to make a payment
But I got my receipts
No balance due on my statement
And y'all got to love me
Hear the music and I face it
It's too easy to bluff a hand
And never have to play it
So no y'all are not soldiers
Just 'cause y'all say it
Look, I'm hearin' some things
Right now that I don't like at all
'Cause accordin' to Destiny's Child
Ain't none of us here soldiers at all
And the whole country right now
They just in love with that song
But I ain't hear 'em say nothin'
But keep usin' the word soldier wrong
And I've been through too much here
For y;all to use the term so lightly
And these mo'fuckers they are describin'
They are nothin' like me
But I'm glad they marketin' strategy
Worked while we here, dyin'
Had to now that song they'd sell
Shit, why the fuck else would they write it?
Or was it written before we deployed
And they just retitled it
Turnin' a garbage song to a hit
Increasin' their entitlement
Or maybe I ain't got no taste
Or idea what a soldier is
And maybe their description is dead on
And I ain't here goin' through shit
Maybe these mo'fuckers at home
Bein' soldiers is real shit
And maybe I'm wrong and to be a soldier
You ain't gotta do shit
But sit on your ass
And let somebody else pray those RPG's miss
Or when your country goes to war
Just lay down like a bitch
Walk a mile in my boots
You couldn't make it
Sure you all soldiers at home
But out here you can't fake it
That's why y'all ain't here
Ain't it?
It's just easier to act hard on credit
Than it is to make a payment
But I got my receipts
No balance due on my statement
And y'all got to love me
Hear the music and I face it
It's too easy to bluff a hand
And never have to play it
So no y'all are not soldiers
Just 'cause y'all say it
It's a lot a talk about where y'all from
And who that makes you
Sellin' yourself as the hardest fucker
In the world, no thank you
Sure you hard on your block
But these streets they'd break you
Here it's brand name thugs
And y'all some off brand gangstas
Wanna be soldiers
Follow me, I'll take you
To see some marines in Fallujah
And I hope you make it
Or come visit my theatre
Shit I'll show you some places
But I really don't think
That y'all wanna go where I'll take you
Straight to the shittiest
City on a map
Where you was probably better off
Shootin' yourself for we left
But y'all mo'fuckers so hard
You can't be worried 'bout that
Shit y'all they'd probably hold down
Sadr city all by yourselves
The truth is
I don't hink it's enough towels
'Cause y'all, they'd throw 'em all in
For I could show y'all around pussy
And I'm wonderin'
Who y'all gone, let fuck y'all now
Hardest soldiers in America
And y'all all layin' down
The fuck happened
Thought y'all was ready for war
At least that's what every word
Outta your mouth said you was but
Let y'all tell it
And anythin's possible
When the closest y'all been to war
Is only 6,000 miles
Come on now
Y'all can't be serious
And please tell me it's more to y'all
Than just smoke and mirrors
I wanna believe you
And everythin' y'all tellin' me
But again, I've seen soldiers first hand
And it's not what y'all sellin' me
Walk a mile in my boots
You couldn't make it
Sure you all soldiers at home
But out here you can't fake it
That's why y'all ain't here
Ain't it?
It's just easier to act hard on credit
Than it is to make a payment
But I got my receipts
No balance due on my statement
And y'all got to love me
Hear the music and I face it
It's too easy to bluff a hand
And never have to play it
So no y'all are not soldiers
Just 'cause y'all say it
