Lyrics

Sup-p-z-z-z, I spent my whole life doing the right thing. (Yes–z-i-r)
That I deem progressive, (ugh) so why you try-n-a stop my efforts.
My hood, is not a typical one, if you use the wrong temperature,
Da-j-or-no, y-a done,
my life was the reciprocal, the peace was my fun.
So why if I worked hard, my existence verse gun.
That's right, almost didn't make it that day.
So I called up Da-general, and I was on my way.
Passed a couple of test, swear-e-d in that day.
U.S. flag on my shoulder, just for my country.
Got the acknowledge that I never had.
And a helping hand if I was doing bad.
I mean I'm glad, that you mad, that I'm a lean mean machine.
If we both came out the washer, how come you not clean?
To see another day, meant to change the whole scene.
Escaped death twice, reality nowhere near dream.
I try to place my being in a positive theme.
If I didn't learn nothing, I remember one thing, team.
So my hood is now America, if America's not a hood.
Who's contradicting y-a? Thought my life could use a diaper.
Change my area, permanent change of station, call it suburbia.
Y-a herd of her? She would have thought you was murderer.
Until you put on camouflage, and now she herd of y-a.
Boots on ground, now I'm around, protect the area.
Well that a-in-t really hard to do, when they all scare-y-a.
I'm telling y-a, my intentions are good, I graduated.
Get far away from the hood, imagine-n-a-ted.
Though many state it, come on you got-ta hate it.
The main mind who settled just to degrade it.
Positive faded, the human lover degraded, the care is negated.
People just like you get gated, so glad that I made it.
For my country, this nation.
Made out alive, to forward the information.
Patiently waiting, my victory cry. I'm leader, here's my open hand.
Standby, don't ask why. Join hands, be along for the ride.
I'll be your guide.
Here is the chorus to For My Country:
They say what's good with your hood, It's understood.
That I wear the nations flag, cause I do it for my country.
(The American flag) Cause I do it for my country.
(The US flag) Yeah, I do it for my country.
(Have an honored flag) If you allies with my country.
(We got cha back) Just hold hands with my country.
