so used to being "broke"
and thinkin things a "joke"
it wasnt looking good to me
to bring me some "hope"
it "seemed"
i had to put my "dreams" under "scope"
but at first i couldnt leave the "boat"
i was just a stupid "teen"
but my future wouldn't "hault"
slowly losing "steam" to "float"
in "2000 and 3", I closely took "note"
in "order for me" to get "out"
i saw an "opportunity"
like no "other"
by "joining the" "Army" i'd be "about"
the "honor" when i "found"
this "newly" discovered "route"
that could "free me" from all "doubt"
then my head went above the "clouds"
"overseas" that "sounds" too "easy" i "thought"
which wouldn't "bother" to "amount"
but "now" there's "mountains" where i'm "brought"
and "plus" some of my "brothers" have been "shot"
"while" my "mother" is prolly "shocked"
does she "suffer" 'round the "clock"
i "love her" but can't "talk"
when i really "wanna a lot"
"will" i "ever" make it "up"
"or's" the "drama" way too "much"?
well i've "gotten" outta "touch"
yet i can "never" trade my "spot"
