Paper Soldier

Left right left right left
Who we runnin’ from
Not a damn thing
Who we callin’ out

That uniform don’t make you hard
Real soldier — we stand guard
POG — paper soldier POG — POG — POG
Out your depth
Real soldier fights till his final breath
Clean boots hide behind excuses, don’t deploy, don’t do the hard things
Real boots kick your door, kick your ass
POG — paper soldier POG — POG — POG
See that coward streak down your back
Fear in your eyes, just a POG — piece of sh**t
POG — POG — POG

Nine eleven, black sky, no light
Green light flash, we jump that night
C-130 packed tight steel
Young and ready and trained to kill
No hashtags, no camera roll
Just cold wind and a heavy load
You want that patch, earn that ground
Stripes come stitched through incoming rounds

Dodged deployments with a family excuse
Used diapers like a bulletproof
Talk rank loud but your boots stay clean
Whole career safe behind a screen
Never heard that mortar crack
Never carried your brother back
TRADOC tough guy, internet tone
Combat boots but you stayed home
This for the ones who really know
You can’t fake weight you never towed

Some came home but they ain’t the same
Some still fight in their own damn brain
Some names carved in stone and steel
You ain’t built for that
You ain’t lived that
You can’t wear weight you never feel
