How the fuck can you charge a soldier

With anything other than doing his job?

I don't think y'all understand what this is

This is war, whether we'll ever see our loved ones again

And it's a lot of y'all out here I could never forgive

And I could never understand why y'all fuckers did what y'all did

Probably say it was too much and with it you couldn't live

But I can see through the smoke, that's how I know you a bitch

Should've never let none of that come from between your lips

'Cause out here it's not murder, just our desire to live

But y'all out here with a cape on, clueless as shit

Say you saw the whole thing and he ain't have to do what he did

No, he ain't have to go and kill him, he could've let him live

But you must've forgot how many people here will see you dead

And I don't care if he was handcuffed and shot in his head

All I know is dead bodies can't fuck with me again

And sure we make bad calls but we don't hold each other's hands

Not at war 'cause things gon' happen that we'll never understand

Fuck is these people talking 'bout? Soldiers catching charges now

Sure we make mistakes but every soldier here's a target now

Questioning how we get down, stand 'em up, we lay 'em down

All that you can seem to do, asking me the questions now

Why we shoot 'em, why they die when we try to take our lives?

Fuck is we supposed to do? Come through hard or let it ride?

Now you trying to say we wrong every time somebody dies

I ain't trying to let 'em live, let me try a second time

Fuck is really going on? We shot at y'all for it

We already getting fucked and y'all trying to fuck us some more

You probably just too soft to have ever deployed

'Cause y'all the last ones squeezing

Off when we are paying 'em forward

Got too big a conscience at war with no heart for it

And I feel for those soldiers that y'all have deployed with

'Cause every time we are popping off, got to be for it

We can't afford to have a motherfucker writing his own story

And this is not about right, it's life and what we do for it

But some of y'all take for granted the best option for you

Sure it's rules of engagement but they ain't looking out for you

They see you dead but you can see death walking up towards you

So at times under the pressure, we push the limit

So next time we see our families, it's not a funeral visit

But y'all'll probably see everything just a little bit different

That's why y'all handing out charges and we already been sentenced

Fuck is these people talking 'bout? Soldiers catching charges now

Sure we make mistakes but every soldier here's a target now

Questioning how we get down, stand 'em up, we lay 'em down

All that you can seem to do, asking me the questions now

Why we shoot 'em, why they die when we try to take our lives?

Fuck is we supposed to do? Come through hard or let it ride?

Now you trying to say we wrong every time somebody dies

I ain't trying to let 'em live, let me try a second time

The bottom line is everybody can't live

It's not too many fuckers left so we choose the ones we give

And there are none left out here, we have no more feelings

Especially for a country that smiles

The whole time they trying to kill me

But let y'all tell it, ain't nobody here guilty

You feeling sorry for the same fucker that'll make you his victim

Letting him live after he shot at you, me, I'ma kill him

I'm only trying to make it home but y'all'll paint me the villain

And no, it's never that simple, we are forced to respond

While y'all pretend to yourselves it ain't shit going on

How many soldiers y'all'll see dead when you sing the same song?

Me, I took the gloves off soon as I saw one

'Cause I ain't fucking with these people, it's too much on the line

But you must be confused, please open your eyes

See it for what it's worth, read in between the lines

In this country we are no more than sheep amongst lions

So we ride

Fuck is these people talking 'bout? Soldiers catching charges now

Sure we make mistakes but every soldier here's a target now

Questioning how we get down, stand 'em up, we lay 'em down

All that you can seem to do, asking me the questions now

Why we shoot 'em, why they die when we try to take our lives?

Fuck is we supposed to do? Come through hard or let it ride?

Now you trying to say we wrong every time somebody dies

I ain't trying to let 'em live, let me try a second time
