"IRAQ - GOVERNMENT WANTS MY BLOOD!!! (A MUST READ!!!!)"
  by WISDOM21


I CAME IN THE ARMY REPRESENTIN MY CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE//
IF I'M SERVIN MY COUNTRY, THEN WHY THE GOVERNMENT WANTING MY BLOOD?//
I'VE BEEN WEARING THE ARMY GREEN AT 18, AND NOW IN IRAQ//
NOTHIN BUT HEADACHES AND HEARTACHES, AND FAMILIES WANTIN US BACK//
IN FACT, THE ARMY IS THE BIGGEST GANG POPULATION, A FUCKED UP OCCUPATION//
CAUSE THE CEO'S OF THE ARMY TEACHIN IRAQI'S OUR OPERATION//
THEY SEND'EM OUR EQUIPMENTS, WEAPONS AND MORE BOMBS TO MAKE//
IT'S HELL THEY CREATE, SOLDIERS LIFE IS AT STATE//
THE CHIEF OF STAFF WANT US HERE CUZ IT'S MORE CAKE (MONEY) ON THEIR PLATE//
THE DAY WE SIGNED OUR NAME ON THE LINE, THE GOVERNMENT SET US UP FOR FATE//
AND LIKE GANGSTAS WE'RE ON A CONTRACT WE CAN'T ESCAPE//
SOLDIERS DEPLOYED 12 TO 15 MONTHS WAITING TO DIE IN THIS PLACE//
I STRESS CAUSE IT'S SEEM LIKE THE GOVERNMENT WALK WITH NO HEART IN THEIR CHEST//
LIFE IS A DASH AND I'M STUCK BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH//
IN MY SITUATION I'M STUCK BETWEEN DEATH AND DEATH WITH NO SIGHT OF LIFE//
EVERYDAY I PRAY TO CHRIST CAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I'MMA GET BLOWN OR SNIPE//
IT'S MAKES ME SICK THAT WE'RE HERE FOR NOTHIN, JUST WAITIN TO GET HIT//
AND I PAY MY RESPECT FOR MY HOMIE WHO SHOT HIMSELF AT COP 6// (FOB OUTSIDE THE GATE - DANGER ZONE)
WHY FIGHT FOR A GOVERNMENT THAT WANTS MY BLOOD?//
AMERICA IS THE LAND OF THE FREE BUT NO FUCKIN LOVE//
YEA THEY GIVE US FREE EDUCATION, MEDICAL INSURANCE AND ALL THEE ABOVE//
BUT LIVES BEING GAMBLED WHEN ROCKETS ARE FLOWN WHILE SOLDIERS LOW-CRAWLIN IN THE MUD//
AGAIN I'M IN THE ARMY REPRESENTIN MY CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE//
AND I'M FIGHTIN FOR A GOVERNMENT THAT WANTS MY BLOOD!!//
