Veterans Affairs
The lies and broken promises should tell you what the problem is
We posed to be professional we dealing these novices
You take a turd you
Polish it
It's a shiny piece of shit
Basically accomplices helped accomplish my regrets
I was waking up at 5 am at midnight back in bed again
Was doing this for years on end while filled with fears I won't pretend
That every year amongst my men
Suicide the topic trend when the fuck will this shit end
But Worst of all where'd it begin
I got caught up in the life
I wasn't treating her right
I lost my kid and my wife
Every day was like rolling the die
Fuck it I don't wanna die
But it's harder to see a new reason to try Especially now
That it's all been a lie
Stop asking me why
I don't got no answers that will justify this fuckery
These feeling I got stuck in me betrayal from my country was left alone
And hungry was sleeping amongst shrub very
America da beautiful! Bitch Look at what you done to me
Tell them what the problem is
Silence never saved a life
Tell them just how hard it is
To carry on with this life
You've gotta March on soldier
March on soldier
Keep marching on soldier
Silence never saved a life
Hurry let's get it your feelings forget it
The missions imperative go get the medic
Provisions pathetic conditions are hectic rounds for aesthetics
Our weapons were rested
Wait- wait hold up
Rounds for aesthetics and weapons were rested
We could only engage after we have been shot not just shot at
We had to get popped
Our safety was second to winning the populations
Opinion of what they can't stop
We was da crooks and we was da cops
Walking with heat in the heat every drop
Of sweat off my head led me to thoughts of what I would I do
If thas was my block
I'd be a terrorist too if I fought
I would be strapped with more than a Glock
These niggas said Id be safe
They gave me the armor surrounded with plates
Gave me my training and my warriors face
They gave me the book and the codes not to break
They brought me out to this place they let me outta the gates
I wasn't prepared for the pace
So I bolted out like I'm running a a race
Shit never stopped it only got harder leaders lost heart soldiers got martyred
Commanders looking for medals pushed harder
Fighting the hate we was all now a part of
And at the drop of a dime
I found out that I wasn't fine
They say this happens all of the time you're body is ready
But never your mind
Tell them what the problem is
Silence never saved a life
Tell them just how hard it is
To carry on with this life
You've gotta March on soldier
March on soldier
Keep marching on soldier
Silence never saved a life
Get in this line hurry and wait
I'm losing my mind while sealing my fate
Like I did time I circled the date
Now I'm back on the grind they said would be great
Seeing old faces act like new people
Getting embraces but they all see through
Questions are tasteless some of them evil
Furthers the knowledge that we are not equal
I'm using labels to tell us apart, Family and friends I held near to my heart
Try to relate but don't know where to start
Vet civilian
We all play our part
I aggravate cause my angst of charts
Shut down at the table and staring off far
Spazzing on fam when they ask where you are
Like bitch I'm right here what the fuck is you on
Hiding my sorrows in bottles of lick
Writing my horrors out like its a script
Then hitting delete never hit send
That times obsolete get ready pretend
That all of that pressure all of them fears
All of that dessert only made clear
I'm never alone if they're standing near
But I'm looking around and ain't none of them here
That's when the going gets tough
22 vets that are down on their luck
Killing themselves to keep it a buck
Every day and no one gives a fuck
I've lost my will and my sanity
I've lost my brothers through vanity
But I'll never lose. heart, not in this fight
So to the cause I am pledging my life
Tell them what the problem is
Silence never saved a life
Tell them just how hard it is
To carry on with this life
You've gotta March on soldier
March on soldier
Keep marching on soldier
Silence never saved a life
We posed to be professional we dealing these novices
