Paroles de 'I Left My Home' par Mjhanks

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
No one can bother me not in the slightest
I'm yellin victory throw in your towel
I'm taking my shot and doing it well
I'm saving myself no need for the bell
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
As I see the motivation in the eyes of my reflection you may
Reap what you sow, but I'm gonna reap what I wrought
I put in the work and I do it a lot
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
(I left my)

I called up my mama said I gotta go
Did it for her, my two sisters and bro
Gave up my freedom in order to grow
Sacrificed more than you ever would know
Defended the nation from foreign invasion
Got in that formation for the next generation
Running my duty station with that motivation
We ready for war, pin the location
Regiment full of pride
Step by step marching, we in a stride
Operations training to survive
Like the heroes before us that fought and died
We continue their mission from day to day
Praying to God that he make a way
Out of all the things I wanna say
Sorry mama that I couldn’t stay

I left my wife, I left my wife
Cryin at the door, cryin 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)

This one for my people freedom fighters
Now the freedom ring like my tinnitus
Constant mortars cause the war was violent
I'm a leatherneck no bull there was no hiding
Buffalo soldier back in the saddle
Doris miller I done made a splash and
Tuskegee airman above the average
Montford point marine and you don’t want to battle
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
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
