Lyrics
(Chorus)
Left, your left
Left, your left
Left, your left
Left, right, your left
82nd Drive On
101st Drive On
10th mountain Drive On
3rd ACR Bring em home
Its your combat medic on the microphone
I rep the US Army, Hooah, Drive On!
1st verse (Mr Sylk)
You can do the Army of one or be all that you can be
You can do it Army strong don't make a difference to me
Just pick up the drip pan, remove the chock blocks
Get that 50 cal loaded with a gunner at the top
I done been to Iraq, then I came back
Went to Iraq, then I came back
Got so much respect for new enlisted troops
We done lost a few at war and still you fillin in the boots
So my thanks goes out to you, and all of dem boys
Twisting sideways, dodging bullets, kickin in doors
Now we hittin the floors, rifles crackin we hearin screams
Keep post traumatic stress at home we see it in our dreams
American Soldier, focus and keep it cool
Some people can't support you they don't understand the rules
Our job ain't to decide if the Presidents right or wrong
Your battle buddy in the prone, Your jobs to bring him home and Drive On!
2nd chorus
Left, your left
Left, your left
Left, your left
Left, right, your left
27th Drive On
29th Drive On
52nd Drive On
8th Air Force Bring em Home
Its your boy Royal-T on the microphone
He reps the US Airforce Aim High Drive On
2nd verse (Royal-T)
Aim high don't you ever forget it
Ain't nothin in life that you can't have if you're really wit it
Continue to count your blessings, mess up cool just learn the lesson
Ain't no need for disrespectin 'specially for somethin small like failin an inspection.....
Man them sergeants just be messin with ya cuz you better than you Showin and they know it but you gotta be devoted
And ya pride won't let you show it now you holdin it inside and you Feelin like explodin but hold up......
Realize the bigger scheme you're just one person you can't beat a whole Army,
But maybe a Marine biologist overseas
By the Coast Guardin Seals like you was in the Navy you could be
If you continue to follow your dreams
There really isn't anything that you can't achieve
So just laugh at all them fools when they callin you chairman
Say "I know" and be proud cuz you're a U.S. Airman
3rd Chorus
Left, your left
Left, your left
Left, your left
Left, right, your left
4th Marines Drive On
5th Marines Drive On
7th Marines Drive On
11th Marines bring em home
Its your boy John-John on the microphone
He rep the US Marine Corp Ooh Rah Drive On
3rd Verse (John-John)
It's the few, the proud, the brave
The finest warriors comin' through, so you better gang way
It's the first to defend and the honor is clean
Its God, country, and family and then the Marines
On the battlefield all we really got is each other
No man left behind cause these are my brothers
Jarhead, devildog, even leatherneck
Death before dishonor definition of respect
See freedom has a price, but not enough glory
Ima' make sure the whole world know your story
Flag wave high, soul run free
From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli
Backbone of our country supported by the troops
You could never understand til' you're marchin in the boots
So if you got the medal; the courage to take over
Dial 1-800 I wanna be a soldier
(Bridge)
Let me see you lean to the left? whoop
Lean to the right?.whoop
Let me see you lean to the left?.whoop
Lean to the right?.whoop
Let me see you lean both ways (lean back)
Aw yea that's tight
Your left your right you're outta sight
Your left right Hey
Drive On
