Original"Choral" Version
HEY JOE

I've had Uncle Sam on my back
for telling him that's that.
I try to tell him what's right
but he doesn’t listen.
He tries to beat and threaten me into submission.
But still I fight and I'm not going to give up
for what I think is right.

I'll fight until the day I die
to tell people the truth about you.
The more you cover-up the more I'll uncover you.
Now its my turn to take a stand and I am.
I’m willing to fight for the rest of my life
to save a couple thousand lives.
I refuse to fight a fight
for something I believe is wrong
for some land, oil, or some uranium.

When you watch your T.V.,
you see what they want you to see.
The lies and untrue facts they use to deceive.
But once we open our eyes and quit being so blind
then we will see the truth behind these lies.
I sing this song for all the soldiers out there
Who fight a war for a government that doesn’t care.

If you live or die it does not matter
as long as we keep these warlords in power.
But once we stand and refuse to fight.
Maybe then people will see the light.
Peace is in the prophecies but we must believe.
That we can make a difference that we can succeed.
I repeat I will not fight for something that is wrong.
Hopefully I save your child’s life by writing this song.
HEY JOE

Quadlisha Cahir aka Carver Hill's RAP 1

An entire lifetime of being used
you send me to war with no clues,
make me the enemy for simply voicing my views.
We ain’t all green.
There’s flesh in-between these BDU’s.
I am what I choose,
Can’t be controlled, conformed or confused.
You want to fight terrorism,
what about your "boys in blue"?
Do you plan to bomb the Klan too?
I didn’t think so.
If minorities mattered you’ve have acted
after they bombed in Africa.
Lives burned reduced to ash.
Before you wage war,
check your reflection in a glass.
Now we say it’s not about
Muslim religion, oh isn’t it?
If these cats was christian
would we mention it?
Dark-skinned men and women
stoned in the streets.
I’m only american when it’s convenient.
Does God bless me from sea to shining sea?
You ain’t never seen
your relatives hung from a tree.
That right there,
is the reason we can’t agree ! ! !

MC SIDEBAR aka Tim Gray’s RAP:

Quadlisha Cahir aka Carver Hill's RAP 2:

Children cry in the aftermath of a witch-hunt.
From the ashes a new kingdom. Afghanistan.
Your president is a puppet
for my country’s "up and coming".
Hypocrisy at its finest, greed is timeless and I love it.
‘Cause these motherfuckers do spin a lie
to make Democracy twist.
Now you’re dealing with Saddam,
talk about the fan being covered in shit.
Maybe Bush blew these motherfuckers straight they crib
and still can’t say if Bin Laden’s been alive,
let alone where he live.
I’m out the yard now, Grrrrr!!
Story soon to be copywritten, published
and digitally mastered.
So while ya’ll bastards
is dropping bombs in Iraq,
I’ll be dropping dimes on ya’ll asses.
At home in my drawers with a blount in my jaws,
on the porch torching my BDU’s to ashes.
Cause Uncle Sam like pointing fingers.
Here have this. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.
Carver Hill, the 40th’s favorite Nigger.
You couldn’t kick me out the Army
Cause my ball’s was bigger.
It’s funny what JAG and
an unedited interview can do.
Make the entire Chain of Command sit up.
ooooh, that’s true.
Matter of fact, 40th Engineer Battalion,
Screw You ! ! !
Tonya Tarver Summers' Refrain:
Caught up in the System, all God’s children.
Society’s victims trying to pull through.
Looking for a wayout, searching for some answers.
The clock is ticking faster towards a world disaster.
Praying to the master on a daily basis,
Set us free, Set us free, Oh lord Set us free ! ! !

Carver Hill:

You throw your hands,
I throw may hands
and if you feel like me,
then we'll all get down.

Ras Abraham:

Just like Joe,
Killing the People
in the Name of War.

Darnell Stephen Summers:

Where ya going,
why ya killing and bombing
in Afghanistan?
