[Verse 1: Vinnie Paz]
|
Yeah, I don't know why I'm over here, this job is evil
|
They sent me here to Vietnam to kill innocent people
|
My mother always said, "The president, he doesn't care"
|
He tryin' to leave the footprints of America here
|
They say we tryin' to stop Chinese expansion
|
But I ain't seen no Chinese since we landed
|
Sent my whole entire unit thinkin' we could win
|
Against the Viet Cong guerrillas there in Gia Dinh
|
I didn't sign up to kill women or any children
|
For every enemy soldier, we killin' six civilians
|
Yeah, and it ain't right to me
|
I ain't got enough of motherfuckin' fight in me
|
It frightens me, and I just wanna see my son and moms
|
But over here, they droppin' seven million tons of bombs
|
I spent my days dodgin' all these booby-traps and mines
|
And at night, prayin' to God that I get back alive
|
And I'm forced to sit back and wonder
|
Why I was a part of Operation Rolling Thunder
|
In a foxhole with nine months left here
|
Jungle like the fuckin' harbinger of death here
|
|
[Interlude: Vinnie Paz (R.A. the Rugged Man)]
|
I don't wanna be here, I'm scared, I just wanna go home
|
(You fuckin' kiddin' me? Don't be a pussy, don't you love your country?)
|
(I like being here, I'm ready)
|
|
[Verse 2: R.A. the Rugged Man]

True story
|
Call me Thorburn, John H., staff sergeant
|
Marksman, skill in killin', illin', I'm able and willin'
|
Kill a village elephant, rapin' and pillage a village
|
Illegitimate killers, US Military guerrillas
|
This ain't no real war, Vietnam shit
|
World War II, that's a war, this is just a military conflict
|
Soothin' drug abusin', Vietnamese women screwin'
|
Sex, gambling and boozin', all this shit is amusin'
|
Bitches and guns, this is every man's dream
|
I don't wanna go home where I'm just an ordinary human being
|
Special Op, Huey chopper gun ship run shit
|
Gook run when the minigun spit, won't miss
|
Kill shit, spit four-thousand bullets a minute
|
Vic the Charlie, hit trigger, hit it, I'm in it to win it
|
Get it, the lieutenant hinted, the villain, I been it
|
The killing, I did it, cripple, did it, pictures I painted is vivid, live it
|
A wizard with weapons, the secret mission, we 'bout to begin it
|
Government funded, behind enemy lines
|
Bullets is sprayin', it's heatin' up a hundred degrees
|
The enemies the North Vietnamese, bitch please
|
Ain't no sweat, I'm told, "Be at ease"
|
Until I see the pilot got hit, and we 'bout to hit some trees
|
Nail the road, it broke, crash land
|
American man in Cambodia, right in the enemy hand
|
Take a swig of the Whiskey to calm us
|
Them yellow men wearin' black pajamas, they wanna harm us
|
They all up on us, bang, bang, bullet hit my chest, feel no pain
|
To my left, the captain caught a bullet right in his brain
|
Body parts flyin', loss of limbs, explosions
|
Bad intentions, I see my best friend's intestines
|
Pray to the one above, it's raining, I'm covered in mud
|
I think I'm dyin', I feel dizzy, I'm losin' blood
|
I see my childhood, I'm back in the arms of my mother
|
I see my whole life, I see Christ, I see bright lights
|
I see Israelites, Muslims and Christians at peace, no fights
|
Black, Whites, Asians, people of all types
|
I must've died, then I woke up, surprised I'm alive
|
I'm in a hospital bed, they rescued me, I survived
|
I escaped the war, came back, but ain't escape Agent Orange
|
Two of my kids born handicapped
|
Spastic, quadriplegia, micro cephalic
|
Cerebral palsy, cortical blindness, name it, they had it
|
My son died, he ain't live, but I still try to think positive
|
'Cause in life, God take, God give
