I Left My Home

I left my home (I left my home)
To join the army (to join the army)
I left my home (I left my home)
To join the army (to join the army)
I left my

Look at me now, look at me now
Look at me, look at me, look at me now (I left my)
No one can bother me not in the slightest
I'm yelling victory throw in your towel (I left my)
I'm taking my shot and doing it well
I'm saving myself no need for the bell (I left my)
I'm giving it everything all that I got
I'm conquering battles that rage in my thoughts

So I
Take one step at a time, fall into formation (I left my, I left my)
As I see the motivation in the eyes of my reflection you may (I left my)
Reap what you sow, but I'm gonna reap what I wrought
I put in the work and I do it a lot (I left my)
'Cause you gonna see me when I'm at the top
Ready or not

The day I left (the day I left)
My momma cried (my momma cried)
She thought that I (she thought that I)
Would surely die (would surely die)
I left my home (I left my home)
To join the army (to join the army)
I left my home (I left my home)
To join the army (to join the army)

Yah, I called up my mama said I gotta go
Did it for her, my two sisters and bro (I left my)
Gave up my freedom in order to grow
Sacrificed more than you ever would know (ever would know)
Defended the nation from foreign invasion
Got in that formation for the next generation (I left my)
Running my duty station with that motivation
We ready for war (ready for war)

Ah, regiment full of pride (I left my)
Step by step marching, we in a stride (I left my)
Operations training to survive (I left my)
Like the heroes before us that fought and died (I left my)
We continue in the mission from day to day (I left my)
Praying to God that he make a way (I left my)
Out of all the things I wanna say (I left my)
Sorry mama that I couldn't stay

I left my wife (I left my wife)
Crying at the door (crying at the door)
She knew that I (she knew that I)
Would die at war (would die at war)
I left my home (I left my home)
To join the army (to join the army)
I left my home (I left my home)
To join the army (to join the army)
I left my (tell 'em man)

This one for my people Freedom Fighters (yeah)
Now the freedom ring like my tinnitus
Constant mortars 'cause the war was violent
I'm a leatherneck, no bull, there was no hiding (yeah)
Buffalo Soldier back in the saddle (eh)
Doris Miller, I done made a splash and (eh)
Tuskegee Airman above the average
Montford Point Marine and you don't want to battle (ooh)

'Cause my only girlfriend was my assault rifle
Shot my shot and got her then she gave me life
But some my brothers under so they stop to cry then
On another mission 'fore the tears would dry up
It was me or rivals and I wasn't dying
Left baby and I swore on my arrival
And my dad G.I. and I served just like him
Now I'm realizing that I'm just like him

I left my son (I left my son)
Playin' in the yard (playin' in the yard)
To see his daddy leave (to see his daddy leave)
Made him cry so hard (made him cry so hard)
Oh-wee, oh-wee (oh-wee, oh-wee)
Oh-wee, oh-wee (oh-wee, oh-wee)
Oh-wee, oh-wee (oh-wee, oh-wee)
To join the army, to join the army

I left my home (I left my home)
To join the army (to join the army)
I left my home (I left my home)
To join the army (to join the army)
