Militant Man
Left, left, left by left
Left, left, left by left
Left, left, left by left
Left, left, left by left
'Livin my life I'm a militant man
'Tryin to do the best I can
But this ain't the life I planned
I just pray they understand
The month of July set a record high for the number of suicides in the U.S military
An army report reveled a total of 38 troops 26 active duty soldiers 12 national guard or reserve members
I don't wanna go back
I don't wanna go back
I think my Uncle Sam he knows that
But he don't want to look out for me, no he don't
And he ain't gonna listen to a nigga no he won't
I think every day just 'layin my cot
'Thinkin is the the day I'm gonna get shot
Cause they don't give a fuck if your here to heal or not
'Gonna show you what it means to really blow up your spot
Seconds turn into days
The days turn into years
The years turn into fears
'Wishin, 'missin your peers
'Pushin through all the tears
While they stow them in a glabag
'Feelin like a outcast
'Watchin bombs over Baghdad
And I just 'wanna stay out of the lassute
They don't prepare this on they day that you recruit
The little kid that most of y'all thought was cute
One day, gun play, I might have to shoot
'Livin my life I'm a militant man
'Tryin to do the best I can
But this ain't the life I planned
I just pray they understand

We've been at war for 10 years
We have two and half million Americans who have served in these wars
About One million of them are still in the military
And million and a half of them are out of are out of the military and are now veterans
We have 18 veterans who commit suicide every day in this country
We haven't asked people to go through war in this kind of way
Probably since World War 2 and Vietnam people served one year tour
And then they came home we had a draft
And now we ask people to go again and again
And so you have 1 million people who've been through the war's who are still in the military
You have 90, 000 people in Afghanistan fighting this war
It's not surprising that the suicide would be higher than the battle field deaths at this point
