Vinnie Paz - Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story lyrics

[Intro: Richard Nixon (US Government PSA)] I have spoken to you from this office, where so many decisions have been made that shaped the history of this nation. I have always tried to do what was best. (Duck…and cover!) [Verse 1: Vinnie Paz] I don't know why I'm over here, this job is evil They sent me here to Vietnam to k** innocent people My mother wrote me, said: "The President, he doesn't care." He trying to leave the footprints of America here They say we trying to stop Chinese expansion But I ain't seen no Chinese since we landed Sent my whole entire unit, thinking we could win Against the Vietcong guerrillas there in Gia Định I didn't sign up to k** women or any children For every enemy soldier, we k**ing six civilians Yeah, and it ain't right to me I ain't got enough of motherf**ing fight in me It frightens me, and I just wanna see my son and moms But over here they dropping seven million tons of bombs I spent my days dodging all these b**by-traps and mines And at night praying to God that I get back alive And I'm forced to sit back and wonder Why I was a part of Operation Rolling Thunder In a foxhole with nine months left here Jungle like the f**ing harbinger of d**h here [Interlude: Vinnie Paz + R.A. The Rugged Man] I don't wanna be here, I'm scared, I just wanna go home You f**ing kidding me?! Don't be a p**y! Don't you love your country? I like being here, I'm ready [Verse 2: R.A. the Rugged Man] True story, call me Thorburn, John A., staff sergeant Marksman, sk**ed in k**ing, illing, I'm able and willing k** a village elephant, raping and pillage a village Illegitimate k**ers, U.S. Military guerrillas This ain't no real war, Vietnam sh** World War II, that's a war, this is just a military conflict Soothing drug abusing, Vietnamese women screwing Sex, gambling and boozing, all this sh** is amusing b**hes and guns, this is every man's dream; I don't wanna go home where I'm just an ordinary human being Special Op, Huey chopper gun ship, run sh** Gook run when the minigun spit, won't miss k** sh**, spit four-thousand bullets a minute Victor Charlie, hair-trigger, hit it, I'm in it to win it Get it, the lieutenant hinted, the villain, I been it The k**ing, I did it, cripple, did it, pictures I painted is vivid Live it, a wizard with weapons The secret mission, we 'bout to begin it Government funded, behind enemy lines Bullets is spraying, it's heating up a hundred degrees The enemy's the North Vietnamese, b**h please Ain't no sweat, I'm told be at ease Until I see the pilot got hit, and we 'bout to hit some trees Tail rotor broke, crash land American man in Cambodia, right in the enemy hand Take a swig of the Whiskey to calm us Them yellow men wearing black pajamas, they wanna harm us They all up on us; bang, bang, bullet hit my chest, feel no pain To my left, the Captain caught a bullet right in his brain Body parts flying, loss of limbs, explosions Bad intentions, I see my best friend's intestines Pray to the one above, it's raining, I'm covered in mud I think I'm dying, I feel dizzy, I'm losing blood I see my childhood, I'm back in the arms of my mother I see my whole life, I see Christ, I see bright lights I see Israelites, m**ms and Christians at peace, no fights Black, Whites, Asians, people of all types I must've died, then I woke up, surprised I'm alive I'm in a hospital bed, they rescued me, I survived I escaped the war, came back, but ain't escape Agent Orange Two of my kids born handicapped Spastic, quadriplegia, micro cephalic Cerebral palsy, cortical blindness – name it, they had it My son died, he ain't live But I still try to think positive, ‘cause in life, God take, God give
