Is it fair to say that I am stressing out
I'm stationed in Iraq and they won't let me out

My homeys said I was stupid for even joining
My counsoller said that my decision was disappointing
How she had good for good state colleges

and with my good grades it wouldn't have been a problem
but they don't understand the power of significance
more than brilliance and certainly more than dividends

and if you ask me now would i repeat it
Would i fight in a war i don't believe in
Well the answer is if not me where the cancer is

they been doing this before Jesus of Nazereth
and after all this time it is still deadly hazardous
and bush isn't really being all that inaccurate

When he says we're winning the war cos its staggering
but thats cos we're killing everybody that we see
and most of us soldiers we can barely fall asleep

and time and time again i'm feeling incompetent
cos my women back home, we're constantly arguing
and i must be crazy cos all i'm obsessing with is

her myspace and facebook and who's commenting
I swear to god if she's cheatin' I'm doin her $$# in
I can tell with one look and it came to me sounding like something from a song hook, saying

Meet Sarah, the proud mother of young sabastian

suburban professional went to college in ...shton
In self pity she suddenly cried,
would my life be important if I suddenly died?

Neighbours saying what a nice women she was
keeping mostly to herself ever since the divorce
and with the compant downsizein and the fall and all

she really shouldn't take it that personal at all
It wasn't her boss who had his eyes on her thighs
and got a rise from her risin off the desk though

and despite rememberin sayin no plenty of times
it was still a damn surprise being let go
and now stuck with a mortgage she cant afford

and too educated to blame the corporate world
She got on welfare and hated it case work a power trippin
and generally being degraded if,

nothing else she was treated sick
and ineffective which is the worst thing
that she'd been left with

Damn, no magic from david blane,
no painter to pain this pain,
No morgan freeman to narrate the shame

So she took refuge and prayer
kinda like findin god in the phonebook
and it came to her sounding something like a song hook, saying

I guess I told you about myself to a degree

just by telling you about people like me
but people like me they speak politely
they don't start no beef or piece of white meat

Everybody gotta eat but everybody doesn't
which is why i want to tell you about my favourite cousin
he and I grew up where the sun shines

and we both partook with the gun crimes
and we both liked american rap rhymes
even though we didn't understand one line

if you remember my line of notes in my last album
I talked about a close call with a grenade
I think we both must have been about 7th grade

but dont panic we both survived without damage
but we developed a bond like we survived the titanic
but when the country became frantic
my mother tried to get us out, planned it
to the last detail except the plan got derailed

cos there wasn't enough money for the plane tickets
how bitter when my mother had to chose who to take with her
so my cousin got left in the war and thats just hard to recall
but now i take refuge and prayer,
kinda like finding god in the phonebook

it came to me sounding kinda like something from a song hook, saying
