lyrics

I Salute
Verse 1
I Salute My Soldiers that…
Don’t have the slightest hint, glint, or wince of fear in their eye
Yet possess an uncanny sense of smell to sense when the scents of fear are nearby
Dark shark smelling fresh blood a mile away
Start yelling, unless you want to decay in the bay as a pile of fish fillet
They do what they mean and they mean what they say
Fighting for honor and dignity, they abide by these laws
Valuing what they believe in, they die for the cause
Ununderstadable, Intangible, improve the design upon finding the flaws
Nurses will be applying your gauze before you get the chance of fighting off Jaws
To get a glimpse of this warrior, you’d have to strike lightning after lightning evolves
Speak The Truth and follow through
Seek the Root and call it loot
Learn life lessons, have stories to tell
Aren’t afraid to say it’s gory in hell
Proceed without proceeds then succeed when others worry they’ll fail, THEY EXCELL

Chorus 1
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth
Blessed are those who have the righteous hunger and thirst

Verse 2
I Salute My Soldiers that…
Don’t bitch, plead, or whine
Look at the jugular vein as something to slit from behind
Masterminds that have passed their time
In the infinity infantry grind or behind enemy lines
Stay strapped with bulletproofs, gats locked and loaded, even nines
Despite hard times find themselves into the vine
Power will, getting rough when the going gets tough
Put you in the dirt when you’re showing your stuff, you’re not slowing them much
You can be holding a grudge, fill them with clips of slugs, don’t even budge
Would rather take a broken neck than be alive in submission
When they arise from conditions, each has the potential to become a spy on a mission
Take not heed to the lies that are mentioned
After drawing blood, they draw eyes of attention
If not to the human skins of the foes when they wear when they decide to rock it
Then to the protruding rose that arose in the middle of the street where the sidewalk split

Chorus 2

Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God
Blessed are the peace makers, for they are children of God’s
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake and killed as the frauds

Verse 3

I Salute My Soldiers that…
Go the higher road in an uphill battle
And get the heat unlike those who will tattle
Prefer to do things right over easy without cutting corners
Enduring when during tortures
Keeping in mind the high stakes at hand
To take a stand for the sake of their fellow man
Then bounce back after major and minor rounds attacked
Suffer, but serve, protect, live and kill for each other
Treasures anything and everything out of the ordinary
Don’t acquire glory, fame, money, power, respect, or authority
By solely weapons and arms of fear in the inventory
Nothing short of legendary, conduct themselves professionally
Knowing what won’t kill them makes them stronger, it will kill them if they act fake any longer
May or may not have skill, stalk the prey for a kill, but above all, stay real
The reflection in their eyes depict how the fight will unfurl, BEHOLD! I SALUTE THE SALT, LIGHT OF THE WORLD!!!

Chorus 3
You are the light of the world
A city built on a hill cannot be hidden
Let your light shine before others
So that they may see you good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
