V1   its only 3 months out   And I still cant believe im leavin   Out here on the railhead sweatin   Loadin these trains on the weekend      And now for the first time ever   Its startin to sink in   How far were fittin to fly away   And my family, might not ever see em again      Cause this year could turn to forever   Where we’re headed   Plus what to expect I have no idea   So for anything im ready      Tryin not to see the stress building   In the eyes of my family   But everyday is more weight forem   And its getting so heavy      They collapsing under the pressure   Of the situation we all facin   Me im trying to remain calm forem   Though inside my hearts racin      Got the worst on my mind   Though these thoughts I try to replacem   And I don’t even know if im comin home   But I tellem… im gon make it.      4 hours before my flight now   tears forming on our faces   and for these last few hours   reality can no longer escape us      told ourselves this wont happenin   now its happening and we cant change it   so in these last minutes we say bye   to say hi a year later.      V2   Look I was madder then a motherfucker   Sadder then a motherfucker   3 days before my exit   I guess im trapped up in this fucker      To a   Future unknown and I say damn I really hate it   Cause I know if I was to die today they’d   Go find myself a replacement      Gave me more of a reason   To ask god and myself why   But I was saved by my manhood   Stayed in tact didn’t let me cry      Made me more of a man   Knowin the normal couldn’t hack it   Feelin like im Jordan or something   Risin above and beyond the fuckin average      Equipped with anger for any stranger   That tags along thru my journey   No goodbyes to my family   Addin pages to lifes story      Slowly and surely   Closing up all unfinished business   Dead all my affairs to the rear   Cause my social life now is finished      And with god as my witness   Im not the only one that’s goin thru it   And I’ll never be alone   Cause my comrades is goin thru it      Addin gas to the flame   Knowin life it isn’t fair   But really pissed me off the most   Is half my country didn’t even care      V3   Kiss my   Family goodbye its time to load these planes   4 duffel bags for the next year   all I got to my name      only 4 changes a clothes   and every outfit looks the same   got this rifle slung on my shoulder   with 7 loaded magazines      on my way over to the last place   I ever thought I’d see   Where they tell me its millions of people   That need me to set em free      So in exchange for they freedom   I put my own life on freeze   And leave everything I love   To board this plane for overseas      Knowin some of us wont make it back   But that’s the gamble we take, And we handle it   Cause we are soldiers   And we play the cards we are handed      However they fall, Let fate call it   Cause for war there is no planning   And some of the things that’s gon happen here   Yall will never understand them      But just remember   This is not you here standin   And while were gon pray for each one of us   Like we were part of your familiy      And whatever fate we are handed   Know we took it like champions   And for those of us who will fall   Never let our memory be abandoned.
