Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story (Feat. Jedi Mind Tricks)
[Introduction]
[Richard Nixon] "I have spoken to you from this office, where so many decisions have been made that shaped the history of this nation. I have always tried to do what was best..."
[US Government PSA] Duck... and cover!
[Vinnie Paz] I don't know why I'm over here this job is evil They send me here to Vietnam to kill innocent people My mother wrote me said the President he doesn't care We trying to leave the footprints of America here They say we're trying to stop Chinese expansion But I ain't seen no Chinese since we landed Sent my whole entire unit thinking we can win Against the Viet-Cong guerillas there in Gia Dinh I didn't sign up to kill women or any children For every enemy soldier, we killing six civilians Yeah, and that ain't right to me I ain't got enough of mother fuckin' fight in me It frightens me and I just want to see my son and moms But over here they dropping seven million tons of bombs I spend my days dodging all these booby traps and mines And at night, praying to God that I get back alive And I'm forced to sit back and wonder Why I was a part of 'Operation Rolling Thunder' In a fox hole with nine months left here Jungle like the fuckin' harbinger of death here
