Veteran's Hip-hop
I'm a vet, yeah, you know the ones
I stood up for us when others were scared
I dodged bombs in Afghanistan
Watched my friends lose arms and legs
Lost myself in what I did
Never ran, never hid
Never get offended
By my actions, what I had to do
It's over now, but the burden remains
You can't see the hidden pains
Inside my soul, those stormy rains
Always there, nothing new
Gotta keep going
Y'all gotta be knowing
I'm still fighting
I'm still writing
Keep on rapping
Watching it happen
Hoping for change
But that's outta my range
I pray every day
That's my way
Come what may
Y'all know I'm ready
Peace out, homies ✌️
