I Left My Home

I left my home, I left my home

To join the army, to join the army

I left my home, I left my home

To join the army, to join the army

(I left my)

Look at me now, look at me now

Look at me look at me look at me now

No one can bother me not in the slightest

I'm yellin victory throw in your towel

I'm taking my shot and doing it well

I'm saving myself no need for the bell

I'm giving it everything all that I got

I'm conquering battles that rage in my thoughts, so I

Take one step at a time, fall into formation

As I see the motivation in the eyes of my reflection you may

Reap what you sow, but I'm gonna reap what I wrought

I put in the work and I do it a lot

Cause you gonna see me when I'm at the top

Ready or not

The day I left, the day I left

My momma cried, my momma cried

She thought that I, she thought that I

Would surely die, would surely die

I left my home, I left my home

To join the army, to join the army

I left my home, I left my home

To join the army, to join the army

(I left my)

I called up my mama said I gotta go

Did it for her, my two sisters and bro

Gave up my freedom in order to grow

Sacrificed more than you ever would know

Defended the nation from foreign invasion

Got in that formation for the next generation

Running my duty station with that motivation

We ready for war, pin the location

Regiment full of pride

Step by step marching, we in a stride

Operations training to survive

Like the heroes before us that fought and died

We continue their mission from day to day

Praying to God that he make a way

Out of all the things I wanna say

Sorry mama that I couldn’t stay

I left my wife, I left my wife

Cryin at the door, cryin at the door

She knew that I, she knew that I

Would die at war, would die at war

I left my home, I left my home

To join the army, to join the army

I left my home, I left my home

To join the army, to join the army

(I left my)

This one for my people freedom fighters

Now the freedom ring like my tinnitus

Constant mortars cause the war was violent

I'm a leatherneck no bull there was no hiding

Buffalo soldier back in the saddle

Doris miller I done made a splash and

Tuskegee airman above the average

Montford point marine and you don’t want to battle

Cause my only girlfriend was my assault rifle

Shot my shot and got her then she gave me life but

Some my brothers under so they stop to cry then

On another mission ‘fore the tears would dry up

It was me or rivals and I wasn’t dying

Left baby and I swore on my arrival

And my dad G.I. and I served just like him

Now I'm realizing that I'm just like him

I left my son, I left my son

Playin in the yard, playin in the yard

To see his daddy leave, to see his daddy leave

Made him cry so hard, made him cry so hard

To join the army, to join the army

I left my home, I left my home

To join the army, to join the army

I left my home, I left my home

To join the army, to join the army
