Chubb Rock - Bring 'Em Home Safely lyrics

rate me

"We left the people of Israel with, one thought..

that they are not alone -- The people of New York,

people of the United States of America

indeed decent freedom loving people

everywhere stand at their side in this hour of need."

[Verse One - Red Hot Lover Tone]

Cries of wait please wait wiggity wait but Kuwait won't wait

Desert Shield a field full of confused hate

Soldiers fight because they're loyal, while tempers boil

On U.S. soil, they're screamin no blood for oil

Groups of recruits get fitted for troop boots

while business suits shoot hoops eatin Fruit Loops

Yo I don't understand the government plan

Goin on holy land, killin a family man, and

tearing loved ones asunder

when things were really sunny, strictly for the money

The money.. yo money

You might reinstate the draft and I'm gettin bummy

So I clear my head by goin testin testin one two testin

and countin my blessings

And pray for the brotherman with an M-60 in his hand,

eatin spam

So one more time, testin one two, and ya don't stop

That's why we got this war Hobbes

Yo I only got one thing to say chief

Let's bring 'em home safely

"The State Department's ?? wants to mediate

The Iranian president wants to meet with Iraq

and then maybe the U.S.

A Middle East expert here in New York has an explanation"

[Verse Two - Rockin Robin]

Deep in the Middle East, in the belly of the beast

We got men and women losin blood for black grease

Oil - how could such a thing spoil

a whole nation and turn it up into a turmoil

Stealths wipin out every man's health

Bombers got sisters brothers daddies and lonely mommas

cryin, "Oh my son, oh Lord help my daughter

Calm the ragin seas, please fill the waters"

Readin letters under candle, delivered by camel

Layin in a dug-out channel's kinda hard to handle

So I say a little prayer to my maker in this blood filled place

Please bring 'em home safe

"Baghdad radio is calling for terrorist actions

against the nations fighting Iraq in the Persian Gulf.

And the allies are concerned that cryptic messages

broadcast this morning could be a signal to terrorists."

[Verse Three - MC Serch]

President Bush will bring us out of this recession

We'll all have jobs when American numbers are lessened

Blessings are said, so no one will get hurt

Yo - I need a Shield, but it's not for the Desert

It's a shield for the ills that builds

with this rampant nationalization; we're not dealin in humanism

P.O.W.'s, M.I.A.'s unknown soldiers in unknown graves

Let's bring 'em home safe

"The F.B.I. continues to look for those responsible

for placing six pipe bombs on, chemical tanks

in the Norfolk, Virginia - or near the Norfolk, Virginia naval base

The bombs were safely.."

[Verse Four - Chubb Rock]

Well hostility jumps on the scene in ninety-one

No fun, large sons shooting machine guns

Population adjustment will be adjusted by an intellgent villain

Guerilla warfare killing

Amplifies, fear tears blood embedded in mud

Daddy falls to the accuracy intricate of a SCUD

Black gold soul, patriots told nothing but lies

Atmosphere develop permanent red eyes

Destruction a product to develop and enhance

presidential fees, blood from overseas

spilled, uphill, peace of mind

I'm, waiting for, waiting for the time

Inner soul craves, for guidance

for safety for the brave, P.O.W. slaves

will be used as shields to pierce and drill

to drip tears, when a declared won't mingle

with the Man Upstairs, funerals for fear

Confusion, nervous hands from a scared wife knittin

Siblings infants weepin, continous tear drippin

Impaled men please God let them cease

Come home, Red Hot Lover Tone, Rockin Robin

MC Serch, and for the last the verse

let us rehearse, excluse men in the hearse

Everybody what's the verse? Peace

"If one of the bombs had gone off, the resulting

damage and loss of life would have been tremendous.

F.B.I. agents on the scene had NO idea

who placed them there."

[Verse Five - Lucas]

None of the bags coming back are filled with gallons of clout

to spill out, to shake-up, break up, now blow up

has entered the minds in Washington D.C., tell me

Is this the land of the free, and in France see

{*rappin in French*}

Danish {*rappin in Danish*}

German {*rappin in German*}

Guess that we're all comin back in one peace

"Adolf Hitler, Joe Stalin, and Saddam Hussein.

Not the types you'd expect to meet on Route 80 near Hackensack.

Well there they're gathered, because.."

[Verse Six - Pete Nice]

The web's analyzed of the ties to the dark side

A nation vexed, is it a Vietnam flipside

On the streets, protests came a little late

Six months on your seat before war date

A Watergate for information ain't passed on

Is that the actual fact, or was you gassed on

the noose loose for the troops in combat boots

Bring 'em home and preserve those family roots, peace!

"And the U.S.S. Missouri and her sixteen-inch guns

opened fire on Iraqi positions near the Kuwaiti border.

It is the first time those big guns were used in combat

since the Korean War. Meantime U.S. and allied planes

continue to bomb Iraqi military sites in Kuwait, and outside Baghdad."
