'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

'Mit man

'Kit can

Plip plan

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
