I was scared to death the first time you bore me in sights
Little did I know... you'd be there to warm me at night
And even if we were involved in the stormiest fights
You stayed by my side- Despite that you deplore me at times
We met in Boot Camp- I never been away from you since
You hold my hand every time I go to prey for my sins
Get loud when you pop off at the mouth-- that's fine dude
Cause I know you by heart... and the heart knows me by you
If you weren't on my arm... I'd only have a friend in Jesus
So when you fall apart... I'll be here to mend the pieces
As Lady J im set apart from G.I. Joes as people
In a man's world- you're the only one who treats me equal
Get me pumped for action... yeah, you spark my fire
It's like you make my fatigues seem a little less tired
In the most hectic of times... we would share a magazine
Zone out and watch the world crumble down to smithereens
When the carnage was too much... we'd sing our favorite
You would keep the rythym... while i would sing the cadence
_____
A dark stare- as I nail kids...
On a crucifix of cross-hairs...
Paleness. wonder if my heart's there-
Fear had grabbed me...
My hands held you- cold and clammy
You're bold with ammy,
But suddenly your trigger finger's jamming
And you just lay there. motionless.
Throughout the commotion and
I've never lost hope- but man
The enemy is closin in
I choke ya chest...
You're dead iron...
Used to spit fire...
Now, you're a smokin mess.
c'mon baby... You're my courage.
You were never good with words but
Your actions always meant the purest
I lean over for one last kiss goodbye...
Funny how before this time
I'da sworn you blow my mind.
Anyways, peace baby. Sweet dreams..
Goddamn...
I loved my motherfuckin M-16.
