Dishonored Valor - Madlib, OH No, The Professionals

Look, I know a cat that joined the military at an early age

I’ve seen him once and a while when he’d come around the way

I would see that picture where he posin' camouflage and paint

Shit, I knew him hella young, I heard he had them straight A’s

But he didn’t respect his momma much

So Oakland is where they sent him up

Snd he always stayed out of touch

He only called home when he need a buck

Got locked up, caught selling drugs

Life changed a nigga, went from sharp to a fuckin' thug

Fresh off the grid, back in the hustle mode

No time to muffle though, that ain’t the hustler’s code

And it’s hard to trust him with dough

My other homie said he stole a studio right up out of his home

Military trained with a military brain

Hard to process, switchin' and changin' lanes

I know some killers out the military

I know some dealers out the military

See, you can be all you wanna be

See, you can be all you wanna be

See, you can be a (what?) drug dealer (what?)

Thug nigga (what?) born killer (what?)

See, you can be all you wanna be

See, you can be all you wanna be

See, you can be

I got a gang of brothers that was in the military that was just honorably

discharged

Really wasn’t cut like Rambo when the shit starts

I don’t blame 'em, I would’ve been right there smokin' weed too

Fuck flyin' up and skydivin' out a B2

I know some homies that got PTSD

And now they havin' flashbacks

It’s stories of hazmats, and being ransacked

And now they on packs of the Xanax

To hold back the thoughts of all the bad acts

Nigga used to be a dork, now he a Mad Max

Quick to snap a niggas cap back and show his flag tats

Yeah, a cop’s nightmare, that is a rogue soldier

That seen too much and was told to roll over

Now he can’t be sober, he got a cold shoulder

To the same country he feel

He used to drive the tanks and control rovers

Now he rather be a loner while he’s growin' older

I know some killers out the military

I know some dealers out the military

See, you can be all you wanna be

See, you can be all you wanna be

See, you can be a (what?) drug dealer (what?)

Thug nigga (what?) born killer (what?)

See, you can be all you wanna be

See, you can be all you wanna be

See, you can be

All you can be, dawg, even the president

Popular demand don’t matter when they riggin' the messages Look at all the

messes and opiods and the recklessness

The terrorists, and what all this represents is common negligence

How embarrassing, can’t even kneel like Colin Kaepernick in America

The land of the free, the land of the foul

The land of the «all we want is power right now»

Give it up

Everybody drinkin'?

How come the front row ain’t have no drinks,

what happened here?

Gotta get the front row some drinks.

White people ain’t

feelin' it.

If they were black people with no drinks they’d be raising hell

right now.

See, white people are just so patient.

Black people: «that motherfucker!

I’ve been here a half hour, my shit ain’t here yet».

Everybody drinkin', having a good time?
