Artist: KRS-One f/ Cx Album: Adventures In Emceein Song: Our Soldiers Typed by: OHHLA Webmaster DJ Flash [Intro: Cx - vocals echoing] Yo KRS it's time to make a statement up in here Let everybody know what's really goin on in America Behind closed doors of this Bush Administration There's a war goin on Which side you on? Which side you represent, huh? Yeah! [KRS-One] YEAH~! To all the families That got somebody overseas In that bullshit war That's what we tellin Yeah what'chu know about real war when it's happening? Who you care for, who your heart, think about your friend fightin with Iraq and them, rebel forces trackin him Bombs in the front, underneath, and in back of them While we chillin in that Escalade, they dodgin rocket propelled grenades So what you ace of spades What about the promises that were made? No one in America feels any safer, in fact we feel betrayed Over 200 families played with an American flag and a letter that says your child got sprayed in the sands of Iraq, forget the economy Mr. President, when my kid comin back? When my spouse comin back? Four million people out of work sayin right now when my house comin back? Now we can see that to be all you can be Man invadin Iraq and dodgin RPG's! [Chorus 2X: Cx] Rest in peace to them soldiers on a two-year tour Frontline of the political war Troops flyin out to Iraq, sent home in a black bag Global terrorism droppin bombs over Baghdad [KRS-One] What's the cause, what's the point, what's the agenda? WMD's, Iraqi freedom, I don't remember Politics is one thing, lives are another People seperated from they wives and they mothers Fathers and brothers, leavin their families and others Safe under the cover they're position first gunner Hard times, demand even harder rhymes You can't be stallin pimpin and ballin all the time!! I speak about MORE than crime I rhyme to the spirit, to them people with "Spiritual Minds" But I hope you get the lyric in time You just went to get a degree, now you behind enemy lines But yo, everything is gonna be fine You'll be home in no time and you'll remember this rhyme Most of them soldiers in Iraq my friends I ain't checkin for the war, but I'm checkin for them [Chorus] [KRS-One] You ain't gotta feel, when you pop that steel Return fire comin in and things gettin real From Desert Shield, to Operation Iron Grip Americans will not forget that {ish} While I spit another hit, over them news clips, every day Yo Bush, how you become President anyway?! Buyin off judges, exposin Clinton's lovers Riggin elections, underminin all these others It's time to uncover, the real plot We need to build our own nation, and call it hip-hop Yeah! Release the fear The real hip-hop is over HERE! ("Speak the truth to 'em" *3X*)
