Another Day in Afghan

Roses are red violets are blue
I’m in Afghanistan where are... Boom!!!
Wake up Young get to the truck get on your gun
Cause shit just got real
“Who’s on the CROW!!!” I ask, “its your lucky day,
if they bust down the gate today, blast them all away.”
Ha! Blast them all away they say, blast them all way, well if that happens then BOOM!!!!
Oh crap oh crap oh crap oh crap
If they breach ill be the only one left, BOOM!!! Sho nuff it’ll be a wrap.
pop pop pop
Did the breach, are they here
Doesn’t matter only on thing is clear
If they burst through that gate
CONTACT!!! WE’VE GOT CONTACT!!!
Pop pop pop, pop pop pop
Crap did I do my functions check, crap did I put the ammo in right
Chill young chill young you've been here 8 months same routine day in day out
Ay yo sarg!!! Ay yo sarg!!!
Yea
I’m losing my mind in this truck daym it when can I come out?
Young you’re the only crow gunner here everyone else is out and about.
Out and about? Out and about? Didn’t they just call contact BOOM!!!
Theyre in now, theyre in now, I know theyre here now.
Pop pop pop
Pop pop boom
Pop pop pop
Pop pop boom
They’re opening up the gate? Wait who is that that? Is that SF?
Got daym it SF I guess I feel better now
but if they are here it must be bigger than I thought.
POWPOW POWPOW POWPOW
Wait I didnt see a signal to open up the gate, was that big coincidence?
Are the LN’s actually in on this, please tell me i’m tripping and I need to submiss all of this.
Hours, hours, hours and hours.
Its been 36 of boom 36 of pow
36 of bam and 36 of daym.
Is that a Chinook flying over head.[whistle]
BAAAAMMMMM!!!!
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT,
CALM DOWN YOUNG HA! YEA THAT WAS US
[RADIO NOISE-chicup]
Jedi main Jedi main
This is death valley over [chicup]
Death valley this is jedi main send your traffic over[chicup}
That little problem you were having... Your welcome[chipup]
