Back in Eighty-six I was sent to San Vito
Through Rome airport with all types of people
Tote'n my bags, some nag'n and ask'n
Couldn't speak English but they knew Michael Jackson
Found me a spot on the floor, back to the wall
No telephone lines so I could not call
All night long, I stayed awake on guard
But every now and then, my head started to nod
Then it happened when a captain came a tap'n on my shoulder
With a uzi in his hand, said it's time to board a
Plane that was heading to the place I was going
Spent a thirty-six hour delay cuz it was snow'n
Half of the airport blown away by terrorist
Happy to finally lift-off, sixty minutes it's
Redding's face, picking me up with a taste
Damn it feels good to finally be on base
We, we got to be crazy, cuz we came so far away
Say, we came so far away; oh, overseas, away from family
But we just don't give a damn, guess it's us and Uncle Sam
Twenty years old, everyday we celebrated
Drunk so much, became Lappers Incorporated
13X, P.S.Yac and that's including
Redding, TC, General Lee and Rubin
Monopoly on Sunday, gotta' skip Arch
Write'n rhymes wit' Sy, all positive thoughts
Two nineteen, dorm seven routines
Went from Master Mic Mic to Devyne J Supreme
Everybody knew about the Booty Call sneak'n
White, Black, Puerto Rican, it was late night freak'n
Shelly, Jackie, Kim and Pam
Dance'n have'n fun at them dayroom jams
I remember ball'n on Sunday morning
And, we were also known as the four horsemen
Hakeem, Silk, Larry Fields and Me
Bigtime hoopers, just ask Smitty G
Spark-up the grill, pump the music on ten
A beautiful day so let the party begin
And you can bet your check, we gon' do it again
Damn it feels good to let the memories in
We, we got to be crazy, cuz we came so far away; say, we came so far away
Oh, overseas, away from family
But we just don't give a damn, guess it's us and Uncle Sam
We, we got to be crazy, cuz we came so far away; say, we came so far away
Oh, overseas, away from family
But we just don't give a damn, guess it's us and Uncle Sam
