[Intro] And you don't hear none of those stations, for hip-hop and R&B playin him Ask why, in fact, where are those stations today? Somebody better ask somebody that The people that's most affected, by this war Are the so-called hip-hop generation [Recruiter] The Army is the best kept secret in the whole world That every soldier gets his or her own private room You can forget that old brown boot image of the Army It's a job like anything else, you'd love it, all the soldiers do [Verse 1] I remember how it started, remember the time I was watchin Rap City bout a quarter to nine Commercial said the military givin money for school Caught the bus up to my campus, they were signin recruits And met this dude named Diablo, was some kind of vet He explained the situation told me what to expect, he said 'Now we'll help you pay for college and train you for work' Said I could take computer classes and could quit if I want But best of all was the fact I'd have my own shit I'd have my own space and have my own place to kick it On top of that I'd travel, and visit the world Hell Diablo said the women overseas was the pearl Didn't even call my girl, let's get it on fo' sho' Signed my name, took some tests, and I was outta the do' A true soldier for America, ready to go On the road a vacation'll be good for the soul [Hook] Don't matter what they sayin now They lyin what they say fo' sho' They don't play when it come to war They get down, they get down, they get down [Verse 2] I showed up at basic training, but what a mistake Cause this motherfucker yellin at me all in my face In this dirty-ass latrine, 50 men in a room Runnin' laps up in the mud at 4 o'clock in the mornin I'm scrubbin' toilets, doin' laundry, and feelin the pain If I didn't know no better, I'd think 'boy' was my name Same bullshit line so many bit 'fore me Got a nigga twisted up in this illusion of freedom Fuck this shit, I'm out tomorrow, made up my mind Everything Diablo said I'm findin' out was a lie That's when my unit got the call, the Commander in Chief Wanted ground troop assignments keeping peace in the East What a relief, I'm thinkin finally somethin new Shipped us off and 20 hours later we was en route Touched down around 11, the desert was brutal Then the ground split and caught us by surprise from the shootin {*explosions, sounds of war and death*} [Hook] - 2X [Verse 3] It was all surreal, seen 'em blow the spine out his back In the minefield, we was reelin' from the attack Seen the M.O.'s hand upon the receiver, still attached With an alarm on it, set off the beacon, then I mashed Who the first truck, blood and guts splash in my face Cuttin' kids down, couldn'ta been no older than eight What the fuck is goin' on, who we fightin' and why? Killin kids, killin killers, who the fuck is supplyin' I'm cryin' out for protection, but none of it came So I dumped in all directions 'til the heater was drained But that night vision shit wasn't helping us win Caught a round of friendly fire but it wasn't so friendly We simply got lucky, headed back to the base Seen a soldier rape a woman, shot her dead in the face Guts stuck to my clothes, body parts galore If this a peacekeeping mission I ain't ready for war And now I'm back home bitter, and sick and contagious And I'm knowin' we some bullies, that's why everyone hate us Still broke than a motherfucker, niggas is starvin' And that job trainin' shit is only good for the Army I guess I should have been a C.O., and kept up a file Shoulda listened when my homies said we murder for oil Now I'm fuckin with this wheelchair, ain't nuttin' the same And I'm knowin confrontation's mo' than video games War is pain
