Lyrics
No Matter What
There's a weight upon my soul
Like I'm sinking in the mud
Shockwaves pounding inside my head
All I can taste is sweat and blood
But I am calm, this is my destiny
I got an angel and she's watching over me
No matter what, I wont surrender Female (You're not alone)
No matter what, I won't turn away 2nd/3rd (I'm standing here)
Knock me down I just get stronger time only (I'll never leave)
Count me out but I remain (Survive)
No matter what
Endless days melting together (I'm praying you'll be safe)
A battle rages on inside of me (I'm still here)
Tough as nails, hard as a diamond face (I still need you)
A carbon-hardened war machine (I'll save every tear)
I've walked through fire, been to hell and back
Let the city burn, watch the sky turn black
RAP: Let me say first that war is hell on this earth
Im not gonna lay down til my enemy gets a slug from me first
God Family Country's my code when war gets out of control
Against all odds, when brass is flying and my blood's running cold
I'll pay the ultimate price, don't be afraid if I die
Like a lion roaring, I will destroy, cuz that's my mission in life
My heart, love, blood, sweat and tears
I will survive, persevere
Can't be defeated cuz all that I need is
All my brothers right here
No matter what
Chorus
RAP: Don't get me wrong
I'll just keep soldiering on
Taking orders like they're quarters
In a pay telephone
Hey, I do what I'm told
Cuz I wanna grow old
And see the ones who I love who I miss
Back at home
My brothers in arms
I hope you keep safe from harm
Killin evil, in this world
Where ever you are at war
I wish you peace. God bless...
No matter what
