Home Sick

In this land of sand and death, it's my oasis/
The day I come home and see their smiling faces/
Miles away from anything that resembles home/
Thousands beside me but I feel like I was sent alone/
So misleading, goodbyes come so close to grieving/
So many tears, my kids too young to know the meaning/
They were told I'm leaving, and it's only been 4 days/
And my kids are still waiting for me to come through the doorway/
Of course they will learn the truth and start to feel it/
We'll grow apart and that's the hardest part to deal with/
It darkens spirits and leaves you with an empty chest/
My son's gonna be walking and I'm gonna miss every step/
Yet regret and doubt are two of the furthest thoughts/
Even though there's that chance I could get hurt or lost/
It's worth the cost, especially with loved ones beside you/
Shit, I'm the soldier and they have more pride than I do/

It's day 6 but it feels like it's been weeks longer/
I know they miss me but in a way they seem stronger/
My dreams wander, thinkin of how much I miss em/
Wondering how they sleep without daddy to tuck and kiss em/
Fuck the system, I'm kidding but still torn in ways/
Wish I could crawl in bed and feel my wife's warm embrace/
Just a little kiss and squeeze, maybe a frisky tease/
I wanna be close but the Army tries to distance me/
Another 60 weeks to replace those tears with laughter/
It's hard to console when you know they fear disaster/
Another year of chapters in this twisted book of life/
Staring at my kid's pictures, amazed how much we look alike/
Wish I could book a flight even if I was home a minute/
Learn how to freeze time so the moment won't deminish/
Just hope to finish the hardship as it approaches/
Just another soldier, husband and dad feelin homesick/

Appreciate the feed, man. This was definitely from the heart. I kinda strayed from using a ton of multies but still somehow ended up using em anyways lol. Expect a lot of deep verses in the future, along with some extremely sick experimentals too. And once I do get settled in Iraq, who knows, maybe I can rig up some audio.

I absolutely love your writing style and word usage. Your story has particular meaning to me right now as a good friend of mine just left some guy from the army, mainly because he was crazy lol. But my main concern for her when they first got together was how it was going to be when he went away.

Again, your story-telling capabilities are great. Keep 'em comin.

this is real hip-hop from the soul yall. I FELT this piece for you. if half the cats had as much heart and emotion as you....mannnnn. the world would be a bearable place to live in. lol
there is nothing to say about your lyrics megatively because they so vividly depict your life and for that reason alone... you staying true to yourself just makes this a 10. end transmition.

Old school classic, hmmm

I don't know, I thought this was a perfect story.

"Just a little kiss and squeeze, maybe a frisky tease/
I wanna be close but the Army tries to distance me/
Another 60 weeks to replace those tears with laughter/
It's hard to console when you know they fear disaster/
Another year of chapters in this twisted book of life/

I'm sure that a lot of military people could actually tell this story without the rhymes. I feel as if something is missing from making this a classic drop. I just can't identify it, maybe its the words being spoken, who knows.

Thanks for serving the country.
