with all my homies in the back!
My recruiter lied to me,
Be what you wanna be!

I used to wear my baggy Jeans,
now I'm wearing army greens.
My recruiter lied to me,
Be what you wanna be!

I used to eat at Micky D's,
Now I'm eating these MREs,
My recruiter lied to me,
Be what you wanna be!

I used to fuck the prom queen,
but now I rod this M-16.
My recruiter lied to me,
Be what you wanna be!

I used to drive a Coup De Ville,
with the leather-wrap steering wheel.
My recruiter lied to me,
I shouldn't have joined the Army!
