Hendersin – Militant Man lyrics
[Intro]
Left, left, left by left
Left, left, left by left
Left, left, left by left
Left, left, left by left

[Hook: Hendersin]
Livin' my life I'm a militant man
Tryna do the best I can
But this ain't the life I've planned
Livin' my life I'm a militant man
Tryna do the best I can
I just pray they understand

[Sample]
The month of July set a record high for the number of suicides in the US military. An army report reveled a total of 38 troops, 26 active duty, another soldiers 12 national guard or reserve members are believed to have committed suicide in July

[Verse 1: Hendersin]
I don't wanna go back, I don't wanna go back
I think my Uncle Sam he knows that
But he don't wanna 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
Askin' is this 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 'em in a glabag
Feelin' like a outcast
Watchin' bombs over Baghdad
And I just wanna stay out of the lassute
They don't prepare you for this on the day that you recruit
The little kid that most of y'all thought was cute
One day, gun play, I might have to shoot

[Hook: Hendersin]
Livin' my life I'm a militant man
Tryna do the best I can
But this ain't the life I've planned
Livin' my life I'm a militant man
Tryna do the best I can
I just pray they understand
Livin' my life I'm a militant man
Tryna do the best I can
But this ain't the life I've planned
Livin' my life I'm a militant man
Tryna do the best I can
I just pray they understand

[Bridge: Hendersin]
Ma-man
Ca-can
Pla-plan
Ma-man
Ca-can
St-st-stand

[Sample]
We've been at war for 10 years. We have 2.5 million Americans who have served in these wars, about a million of them are still in the military and a million a half of them 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. You know, probably since World War 2 in Vietnam people served one tour and then they came home we had a draft
Now we ask people to go again and again. And so you have a million people who've been through the wars who are still in the military, you have 90,000 people who are still in Afghanistan fighting this war. It's not surprising that the suicides would be higher than the battle field deaths at this point
