Folded Flags

So many fighting for this country
 When they die all they send home's a folded flag
 Where I'm from the gang-banging go to war
 All because of what you wore and the folded flag
 The whole world picks eyes still shooting
 They'll ride and do it all just for they flag
 But I'm just like you, no red, no blue
 We can all wear a soldier rag
 I see folded flags on doorsteps
 Folded flags from your set
 Folded flags from war vets
 Folded flags bring war, yeah
 Folded flags on doorsteps
 Folded flags from... yeah
 Folded flags from... Iso
 Instead of living our lives, now worried 'bout others seen
 Rappers ended by signs, symbols and color schemes
 Mindset caved in, they don't know what to think
 The allegory category, they don't know what it means
 Deafening definition and tell 'em a bunch of things
 Here we are in our heads, but head the one that leads
 Mirrors are nightmares we married, but what's a ring?
 Merrily homie, barely, life is just but a dream
 If this is what they call woke then I'm probably somewhere sleeping
 I'm full of the food for thought that's the knowledge that slumber brings
 Hibernating or cryogenically I've come to freeze
 Lifestyles I'm living like cops when they cuffing me
 What it means is another reason why sisters and brothers speak
 From what we teaching this other region's deserve to go suffer, preach
 Music the devil's ears is war I've come to breach
 And box me in like Apollo, what are my other Creeds?
 Crips bang the left, Bloods the other thing
 Folks on the left wing, folks on the other wing
 Fighting to stay afloat, it's plain they've come to see
 The land, should change gears to flourish abundantly
 Aggregating the culture, planting a bunch of seeds
 All about self hatred, difference is what it breeds
 I say self 'cause we're all one to some degree
 We fall out under arms then aim my gun and squeeze
 I know some cats banging stars for stripes
 Funny thing how our flag got stars and stripes
 Money brings waged war, but it costs your life
 Some seems ironic how I'm talking, right?
 What we need is resources, but hog 'em like
 Other people ain't worth it, we're all alike
 But we bleed for that flag, but we're all a spite
 Until every flag in the world all is white
 'Cause when I think about it all I see isInstead

 Homies in the hood be packing military issues
 PTSD, we got military issues
 Wishing that I could bring my dawgs back
 Rocking so many dog tags
 They be like "You got a cemetery with you"
 Soldiers' ain't returning to the chicks they married
 Can't call them troops on trial, that the dignitaries is true
 We wave and salute 'cause it's brave what we do
 But some of 'em only wave a preliminary get through
 The hard times push a hard line
 People don't know what the dark side
 Got you feeling like I can't do it no more
 Then we going to war and the shots fly
 Picking up a murder weapon
 You'll be get to killing a murder direction
 Not to mention kids are hurting probably 'cause their baby bros caught up in a crossfire
 I've seen it
 People headed to the graveyard working part time, deleted
 Take 'em out of every database and all the archives, no grievance
 Then live with the only deadly damage until your heart dies, receive it
 All the venom is it 'til we choose up, picking our side
 Little kids been Called to Duty on the Fortnite hearing Far Cries
 Funny how the Mindcrafts the Art of War, do not lie
 Troops have got MRE's we attack Roman Empires
 Substance I'm the top ramen, put me in your top five
 I get the feeling that if I die
 It will literally stop time
 Any minute I can go so I gotta give you this when I jot lines
 I want you to live free, not controlled by who's in our minds
 Think about control the next time you're at a stop sign
 I caught up at a red light that's when the 'op slide
 Then you get a feeling, reminiscing of when Pac died
 Everybody go to war thinking about the lost lives
 And the common goal is peace don't make me pop mine
 My news feed, food for thought, is seeing moms cry
 That's the worst pain is see the look in moms' eyes
 And to think it's all the same when the plots rise
 Flags flying, get folded
 Yeah I got mine
 So many fighting for this country
 When they die all they send home's a folded flag
 Where I'm from the gang-banging go to war
 All because of what you wore and the folded flag
