Dear Mom,
Alana's in her second trimester
Stressed out
Cause I'm gone, she acting all extra
We're happy 'cause she knows it's a girl
But we doubtful if we should bring another one in the world
That pic' you sent with you an' the kids is da bomb
I'm keepin all my photos in the 23rd Psalm
My best friend Armani lost her arm at the border
Just tryin' to restore a little peace and order, an'
It's strange, 'cause she reads the Koran!
Torn between what side she needs to be on
Haven't slept for days
I squeeze Visine
'Cause no man's eyes should see what I've seen
Soldiers lost their minds
Robbin', pillagin',
Tomahawk missiles into civilian villages
And they ease the pain with narcotics
I'm scared but I'm tryin to remain patriotic
[Justin Timberlake]
My father
Forgive us 'cause we know not what we doin'
And my brothers
How we gonna tie up all these loose ends?
And my mother
I'm tryin' to use ev'rything you taught me to keep it movin'
And my brothers & sisters
How we gonna tie up all these loose ends?
[Pharoahe Monch]
New message from mom: at
bringbackthetroopsdot-com: at
home, they comparin' this situation to 'Nam
So sad you had to miss your [????] prom
Just some song off the Marvin Gaye What's going on album
And I'm smilin at the room [maybe
And her smile lights the room
?]
She asks me
If at night when she stares at the moon,
Is it possible that at the same moment of time
You're starin' as well? 'cause you two were in tune
Your dad's Purple Heart now hangs over his ashes
[An' Trini's??] alive and wake up to hot flashes
They claim it's disease that's gastric
Have yet to explain the migraines and rashes
And have you seen what the price of gas is?
We can't afford the property taxes
We just want you back at home
Where you belong with your family
You're the backbone
[Justin Timberlake]
My father

And my mother
Tryin' to use ev'rything you taught me to keep it movin'
And my brothers & sisters
How we gonna tie up all these loose ends?
Tell me how can we live this way?
We've gone so far astray
No one knows what to say
We got young people's lives at stake
What is it gonna take
For us to find our way?
[Will.I.Am]
The world is changin'
We're in danger, 'cause
We ain't changin'
Our behavior
We've behaved like
Calm is nothing
Ain't concerned with
Repercussions
Ain't that somethin'
Check 'em out now
Pointin' fingers,
When they know how
We got to this point of terror
Precaution could have
Made the road clearer
But we're stuck with mediocre
leadership, So we'll just suffer
Who knows what the hell is going
on? With conflicts keep on growing
It's a [_______]-up situation
When you ain't got no education
On the problem
Or know what it's about
You gotta help me out
