Reality Check

V1

92 to 94 percent of you fuckers fall short

cause only 6 to 8 is or has ever been a soldier before

sure its cute to imitate our likeness

and never go to war

but the closest you've been to in theatres

with your bitch and some popcorn pussy

im trying to believe you

and everything yall telling me

but I have seen soldiers first hand

and its not what yall sellin me

so could you please

pull your brand from the shelf

and anymore songs identifying you with me

keepem to yourself

cause though you may have stood behind us

you aint never stood wit us

cause I aint never seen you on the blocks here

when them ambushes hit us

and please don't think

just cause you bought some fatigues

and run around with your little guns

playing war back home in the streets

that you could ever in any lifetime

be a reflection of me

cause I have deployed to go war

and you aint got the balls to leave

so for me could you please

shut the fuck up

and let me know when your done on my dick

so I can zip my pants back up

chorus

walk a mile in my boots

you couldn't make it

sure you all soldiers at home

but out here you cant fake it

that's why yall aint here

aint it

its just easier to act

hard on credit than it is to make a payment

but I got my receipts

no balance due on my statement

and yall got to love me

hear the music and I face it

its too easy to bluff a hand

and never have to play it

so no yall are not soldiers

just cause yall say it

v2

look, im hearing some things

right now that I don't like at all

cause according to destiny's child

aint none of us here soldiers at all

and the whole country right now

they just in love with that song

but I aint hear emsay nothing

but keep using the word soldier wrong

and I've been thru too much here

for yall to use the term so lightly

and these mofuckers they are describing

they are nothing like me

but im glad they marketing strategy

worked while we here dying

had to now that song ed sell

shit why the fuck else would they write it

or was it written before we deployed

and they just retitled it

turning a garbage song to a hit

increasing their entitlement

or maybe I aint got no taste

or idea what a soldier is

and maybe their description is dead on

and I aint here going thru shit

maybe these mofuckers at home

being soldiers is real shit

and maybe im wrong and to be a soldier

you aint gotta do shit

but sit on your ass

and let somebody else pray those rpg's miss

or when your country goes to war

just lay down like a bitch

chorus

v3

it's a lot a talk about where yall from

and who that makes you

sellin yourself as the hardest fucker

in the world no thank you

sure you hard on your block

but these streets ed break you

here its brand name thugs

and yall some off brand ganstas

wanna be soldiers

follow me I'll take you

to see some marines in fallujah

and I hope you make it

or come visit my theatre

shit I'll show you some places

but I really don't think

that yall wanna go where I'll take you

straight to the shittiest

city on a map

where you was probably better off

shootin yourself for we left

but yall mofuckers so hard

you cant be worried bout that

shit yall ed probably hold down

sadr city all by yourselves

the truth is

I don't hink its enough towels

Cause yall ed throwem all in

For I could show yall around pussy

And im wonderin

Who yall gone let fuck yall now

Hardest soldiers in America

And yall all layin down

The fuck happened

Thought yall was ready for war

At least that's what every word outta your mouth

Said you was but

let yall tell it

and anythings possible

when the closest yall been to war

is only 6,000 miles

come on now

yall cant be serious

and please tell me its more to yall

than just smoke and mirrors

I wanna believe you

And everything yall telling me

But again, I've seen soldiers first hand

And its not what yall selling me.

Chorus
