Promises and Pills (feat. Alfred The MC) - SOJA, Alfred The Mc, SOJA feat. Alfred the MC

In war, combat is so heavily prepared for

Returning home is something no one is really there for

Half the team is gone, and the half that makes it home

They gotta deal with the terrorism, in their skull

But there’s a cure the government likes to hit them with

Prescribing promises and pills

But the side effects is no sleep, no peace

Looking for reasons for living as the war moves on

America.

The System.

Reintegrate me, you made me a killer

Like you could trade me for everything I’ve lost

And look how you made me make me

Think about me taking my own life

When I remember what went down

And you say that I’m the reason for the freedom of this land

So I land in their backyard, I’ve got your rifle in my hand, and

They defend themselves, you know of course I do the same, so

We go kill each other while you go about your day

Reintegrate me, you made me a killer

Like you could trade me for everything I’ve lost

And look how you made me make me

Think about me taking my own life

When I remember what went down

And I don’t sleep at night and I will never be the same

And my wife is terrified by these details I can’t explain

And my soul is beat to shit and half my friends are dead and gone

For all these fucking games you play, we pay the price with our own blood

Reintegrate me, you made me a killer

Like you could trade me for everything I’ve lost

And look how you made me make me

Think about me taking my own life

When I remember what went down

Put a warrior in hell, now he’s finally back

With images in his brain of every damn attack

Every bomb, every friend that’s never coming home

Every innocent life taken, for reasons unknown

Then we abandon them, the same ones that did all the killing

We no longer deal with them, just their spouses and children

And the memories in their head from every damn mission

And the war moves on America

The System

Reintegrate me, you made me a killer

Like you could trade me for everything I’ve lost

And look how you made me make me

Think about me taking my own life

When I remember what went down
