IF


If I had came back with my leg blown off. i would be honored. if i came back with full benefit, I would be honored. If i came back with out orders I would be awal. If I told you who I was I would be Dis-honored. If i came back in a body bag I would be honored. If I stayed home I would be in a gang. If I was in a gang I would be Dead. If I was gone I would not be remembered. If I was in prison, I would be yo Nigga respected. If I was respected then I would like the rest hiv infected. If I had failed I would have been Dishonorable. If I had succeed I would be invite defeated. If I did my job I would be a Murderer. If I go forward i will always be fighting a Lie. If I forget I will never Live or die. If I prove to myself then others will not be about me. If I prove to others that it not about being born free. If I let it be then I will loose my faith in my country. If I be all i can be then my enemy can't see.
