Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Straight outta high school, he didn't know what to do
Wanted to go to college, but no money was nothing new
Wanted to get away, go see the world, and do something new
He got approached in the mall by the Army recruit
Told him, "If you wanna go to school, we got money too
Sign up at 18, you'll be out when you're 22"
He joined the Army Airborne
Got his uniform, went to bootcamp, got some discipline
Iraq is where they shipping him
He's in the mister while bullets flying and missing him
Wishing he was a kid again with his family in Michigan
In the midst of fighting militiamen, one round took down six of them
He ain't really a killer though, taking a lot of risks
This is what a poor person do for a scholarship
Then he turned around and got a face full of hollow tips
But don't be mad, he died for the flag
[Verse 2]
But what've you've done here is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before you're pulling yourself away
What you've done here is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before you're pulling yourself away
[Verse 3]
Papa was a playa, knew just what to say to
Get the women back to his lair, and lay her
If sex had a trophy, he's the Heisman, touchdown
Hitting models, R&B chicks and bust downs
He got the women with crazy stares with his lady there
They ain't care, they like, "Ooh, look at his baby hair"
He took 'em all, put 'em in a line, hit five new chickens
That thought they was fine
Got head from five dope fiends smoking a dime
But did it all raw dog, and, dawg, I ain't lying
Till he woke up one season with lesions
He went to the doctor, asked him what was the reason
The test read positive, he couldn't believe 'em
He tryna blame God, asking why did he leave him
Pleading please let the disease leave him
From women that he conquered, he caught the monster
[Verse 4]
Now what've you've done here is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before you're pulling yourself away
What you've done is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before you're pulling yourself away
[Verse 5]
I'm bullet and a target, I'm
Between a bullet and a target, I'm
Between a bullet and a target, I'm
Okay, okay (A bullet and a target)
[Verse 6]
Now when the sun goes down on our side of town
On the other side of the block, when cops ain't around
On the same side of the street that Pac hit the ground
Not in Vegas, 'cause every **** got Pac in him now
When my guys hit the block, and we proving we thugs
I ain't on no swim team, but you see pools of blood
Skip Judy when you die, she ain't whose the judge
Oh, you married to the game? Prove your love, prove it
Here's a strap, shawty, shoot it, do it, just do it
This ain't a gang, this a organized movement
My hurt, my love, my pain, my stress
My strife, my wife, my life, my test
We made for more, we die for less
When you starving in the ghetto, I'ma right the rest
See my girl think I'm hard, and my mama think I'm hard
But when I'm all up in the dark, I just fall on my knees
[Verse 7]
Oh, what've you've done here is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before you're pulling yourself away
What you've done is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before you're pulling yourself away
[Verse 8]
A bullet and a target
A bullet and a target
A bullet and a target
A bullet and a target
