You don't get to choose your flesh and blood, How you were raised or where you're from. Sometimes the cards you're dealt ain't fair, So you fold your hands to the man upstairs When the weight he's putting on you's just too Much. You can choose to let it break you down Or fight to turn your life around and find The strength inside to rise above. Sometimes you turn to Uncle Sam to carve your Path in a pair of combat boots. With a band of brand new brothers holding M-4s For the old red, white, and blue. Sometimes you're on a rooftop post where you see The world explode before your eyes. When you hear a voice cut through the darkness, Don't you waste it if you make it out Alive. You don't get to choose your flesh and blood, How you were raised or where you're from. Sometimes the cards you're dealt ain't fair, So you fold your hands to the man upstairs When the weight he's putting on you's just too Much. You can choose to let it break you Down or fight to turn your life around and Find the strength inside to rise above.
