92 to 94 percent of you ***kers
Fall short
'Cause only 6 to 8 is or has ever been
A soldier before

Sure it's cute to imitate our likeness
And never go to war
But the closest you've been to in theaters
With your ***** and some popcorn *****

I'm tryin' to believe you
And everythin' y'all tellin' me
But I have seen soldiers, first hand
And it's not what y'all sellin' me

So could you please
Pull your brand from the shelf
And anymore songs identifyin' you with me
Keep 'em to yourself

'Cause though you may have stood behind us
You ain't never stood wit us
'Cause I ain't never seen you on the blocks here
When them ambushes hit us

And please don't think
Just 'cause you bought some fatigues
And run around with your little guns
Playin' war back home in the streets

That you could ever in any lifetime
Be a reflection of me
'Cause I have deployed to go war
And you aint got the balls to leave

So for me could you please
Shut the ***k up
And let me know when your done on my ****
So I can zip my pants back up

Walk a mile in my boots
You couldn't make it
Sure you all soldiers at home
But out here you can't fake it

That's why y'all ain't here
Ain't it?
It's just easier to act hard on credit
Than it is to make a payment

But I got my receipts
No balance due on my statement
And y'all got to love me
Hear the music and I face it

It's too easy to bluff a hand
And never have to play it
So no y'all are not soldiers
Just 'cause y'all say it

Look, I'm hearin' some things
Right now that I don't like at all
'Cause accordin' to Destiny's Child
Ain't none of us here soldiers at all

And the whole country right now
They just in love with that song
But I ain't hear 'em say nothin'
But keep usin' the word soldier wrong

And I've been through too much here
For y;all to use the term so lightly
And these mo'***kers they are describin'
They are nothin' like me

But I'm glad they marketin' strategy
Worked while we here, dyin'
Had to now that song they'd sell
****, why the ***k else would they write it?

Or was it written before we deployed
And they just re***led it
Turnin' a garbage song to a hit
Increasin' their en***lement

Or maybe I ain't got no taste
Or idea what a soldier is
And maybe their description is dead on
And I ain't here goin' through ****

Maybe these mo'***kers at home
Bein' soldiers is real ****
And maybe I'm wrong and to be a soldier
You ain't gotta do ****

But sit on your ***
And let somebody else pray those RPG's miss
Or when your country goes to war
Just lay down like a *****

Walk a mile in my boots
You couldn't make it
Sure you all soldiers at home
But out here you can't fake it

That's why y'all ain't here
Ain't it?
It's just easier to act hard on credit
Than it is to make a payment

But I got my receipts
No balance due on my statement
And y'all got to love me
Hear the music and I face it

It's too easy to bluff a hand
And never have to play it
So no y'all are not soldiers
Just 'cause y'all say it

It's a lot a talk about where y'all from
And who that makes you
Sellin' yourself as the hardest ***ker
In the world, no thank you

Sure you hard on your block
But these streets they'd break you
Here it's brand name thugs
And y'all some off brand gangstas

Wanna be soldiers
Follow me, I'll take you
To see some marines in Fallujah
And I hope you make it

Or come visit my theatre
**** I'll show you some places
But I really don't think
That y'all wanna go where I'll take you

Straight to the ****tiest
City on a map
Where you was probably better off
Shootin' yourself for we left

But y'all mo'***kers so hard
You can't be worried 'bout that
**** y'all they'd probably hold down
Sadr city all by yourselves

The truth is
I don't hink it's enough towels
'Cause y'all, they'd throw 'em all in
For I could show y'all around *****

And I'm wonderin'
Who y'all gone, let ***k y'all now
Hardest soldiers in America
And y'all all layin' down

The ***k happened
Thought y'all was ready for war
At least that's what every word
Outta your mouth said you was but

Let y'all tell it
And anythin's possible
When the closest y'all been to war
Is only 6,000 miles

Come on now
Y'all can't be serious
And please tell me it's more to y'all
Than just smoke and mirrors

I wanna believe you
And everythin' y'all tellin' me
But again, I've seen soldiers first hand
And it's not what y'all sellin' me

Walk a mile in my boots
You couldn't make it
Sure you all soldiers at home
But out here you can't fake it

That's why y'all ain't here
Ain't it?
It's just easier to act hard on credit
Than it is to make a payment

But I got my receipts
No balance due on my statement
And y'all got to love me
Hear the music and I face it

It's too easy to bluff a hand
And never have to play it
So no y'all are not soldiers
Just 'cause y'all say it
