Lyrics
English: I just got back from Vietnam / And you better believe I served my time / Some days 24 hours I was eating rice / Always ducking and dodging trying to save my life / Some days 24 hours I was pulling my trigger / So lord help the man who calls me a fool / Cause I came back, and I know that I'm equal
