Down by the river (Down by the river)
We took a little walk (We took a little walk)
Ran into China (Ran into China)
We had a little talk (And we had a little talk)
Yo
Hey, a
This goes out to all the soldiers (Mhmm)
Thank you (Yes, sir)
This go...
To the solider, I love Y-O-U
Never could I pay you what I owe you
I hope this is soul food that will hold you
Something that will keep you when they deploy you
Pray for your safety and for your mental
Pray that our enemies get the pencil
I mean a whole head full
I'm so sick of this, why would they test us?
They know our mission is to protect the whole world
God gave it to us, we are the chosen and the great influence
Do it for the motherland and for the voiceless
Yes, there is bloodshed, but you are choice-less
I can't say I understand your pain
Even though, hell, I can't complain
I'm eatin' pizza and recording you a song
I mean, honestly, man, we are fortunate beyond
I cannot say that I know what you been through
I cannot feel all the pain of a warrior
But know that I thank you more than words could ever say
And I will keep prayin' for you every day
So many people don't appreciate life
What will we see if we would take time?
What does the soldier make possible for us?
So we don't have to die in the bombin' of a bus
So we don't have to be slaves of communist governments
We stand together, Democrats and Republicans
They both care about us, and they tryin' they best
But those on the front lines is dyin' for this
Dyin' so that we can have Christmas lights
And walk through the doors singin' Silent Night
Even though a couple drunk and can't sing on key
This the closest thing to Heaven 'cause the streets are free
And peace, you can smell it with the turkey aroma
Watchin' football on the circular sofa
Thank you, solider, a million times
If I could, I would write you a million rhymes (Yeah)
I cannot say that I know what you been through
I cannot feel all the pain of a warrior
But know that I thank you more than words could ever say
And I will keep prayin' for you every day
So much sacrifice, your children cry
And the kiss is a bitch when it's a kiss goodbye
Mothers are worried, and fathers are crushed
Sons and daughters risk it all for us
Veteran's Day to me is just not enough
So I'm writin' this song, but with all of my love
And all of the love of every U.S. citizen
Every country you travel to, improve what they livin' in
The American soldier is a worldwide angel
You do what you gotta do, at times it's painful
If you have regrets, it's not your fault
You're the reason why my little girl can walk her dog
You're the reason why my dad has rights in prison
The reason I could chase the dreams I envision
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines
Every person in uniform who cares for me, thank you
I cannot say that I know what you been through
I cannot feel all the pain of a warrior
But know that I thank you more than words could ever say
And I will keep prayin' for you every day
I cannot say that I know what you been through
I cannot feel all the pain of a warrior
But know that I thank you more than words could ever say
And I will keep prayin' for you every day
America is the land of the free
But that's only because
We are the home of the brave
