Our Soldiers - Rakim/KRS-One

Yo krs it's time to make a statement up in here

Let everybody know what's really going on in America

Behind closed doors of this bush administration

There's a war going on

Which side you on

Which side you represent huh

Yeah yeah

To all the families

That got somebody overseas

In that b******t war

That's what we telling

Yeah what'chu know about real war when it's happening

Who you care for who your heart think about your friend

Fighting with Iraq and them rebel forces tracking him

Bombs in the front underneath and in back of them

While we chilling in that escalade they dodging rocket propelled grenades

So what you ace of spades

What about the promises that were made

No one in America feels any safer in fact we feel betrayed

Over 200 families played

With an americang flag and a letter that says your child got sprayed

In the sands of Iraq forget the economy

Mr president when my kid coming back

When my spouse coming back four million people out of work

Saying right now when my house coming back

Now we can see that to be all you can be

Man invading Iraq and dodging rpg's

Rest in peace to them soldiers on a two year tour

Frontline of the political war

Troops flying out to Iraq sent home in a black bag

Global terrorism dropping bombs over Baghdad

Rest in peace to them soldiers on a two year tour

Frontline of the political war

Troops flying out to Iraq sent home in a black bag

Global terrorism dropping bombs over Baghdad

What's the cause what's the point what's the agenda

Wmd's Iraqi freedom I don't remember

Politics is one thing lives are another

People seperated from they wives and they mothers

Fathers and brothers leaving their families and others

Safe under the cover they're position first gunner

Hard times demand even harder rhymes

You can't be stalling pimping and balling all the time

I speak about more than crime

I rhyme to the spirit to them people with spiritual minds

But I hope you get the lyric in time

You just went to get a degree now you behind enemy lines

But you everything is gonna be fine

You'll be home in no time and you'll remember this rhyme

Most of them soldiers in Iraq my friends

I ain't checking for the war but I'm checking for them

Rest in peace to them soldiers on a two year tour

Frontline of the political war

Troops flying out to Iraq sent home in a black bag

Global terrorism dropping bombs over Baghdad

Rest in peace to them soldiers on a two year tour

Frontline of the political war

Troops flying out to Iraq sent home in a black bag

Global terrorism dropping bombs over Baghdad

You ain't gotta feel when you pop that steel

Return fire coming in and things getting real

From desert shield to operation iron grip

Americans will not forget that ish

While I spit another hit over them news clips every day

Yo bush how you become president anyway

Buying off judges exposing clinton's lovers

Rigging elections undermining all these others

It's time to uncover the real plot

We need to build our own nation and call it hip hop

Yeah release the fear

The real hip hop is over here
