LUDIC LOG

"Army recruiters recently teamed up with hip-hop magazine The Source for the Campus Combat Tour, which took the Army's message to several predominantly black colleges on the East Coast. During the visits, students were treated to free T-shirts, CDs, headbands and subscriptions to The Source. Students got to hang out in a Hummer, which blared rap music and was wrapped with the 'Army of One' logo. Inside the SUV, participants could use computers to visit the Army's Web site or play its video game, 'America's Army'. They also could take part in an MC competition, where they performed their own music, while Army "reps" worked the crowd urging attendees to consider enlisting."

I be drillin' and killin'
My style is illin'
Throwin' up more gunsmoke than Matt Dillon
When the credits rolled, you fold
BLU-82 Daisycutter will leave you fuckin' cold
Yo, D.I., who is that?
U.S. Army's back
Makin' niggas go "Sir, yes, sir!" -- discipline attack
Me fear no one
Uh-oh -- here come the Airborne shogun
Killas to the tarmac

I puts the polish to my shoes
Wear dress blues
And I'm forced to DMZ
My style transports like an HMV
Like the Army Air Corps
The Army cares for
Those who slam halftracks like rucksack from XP
Now why try and play the rebel Green Beret?
Gay we don't say, I P to the K
'Cause I peel the spud, then deal the spud and eat it too
With my crew while we spill the blood

And if you want a swift kick in the tuchus
USA ain't nuttin' ta fuck wit'
We'll kick your ass once the barrack's dusted
USA ain't nuttin' ta fuck wit'

1-2-3-4!
Step up, boy!
Represent!
Break it down now!
4-3-2-1!

The Sarge'll come out tomorrow
Styles well-disciplined, trained and narrow
Flow with shorter haircuts than Mia Farrow
Comin' soon a U.S.O. show, and up first is fuckin' Charo
Colin, the legend, niggas of Point Barrow
Makin' Marines into monkeys like Clarence Darrow
I learn my general orders like a dance
Niggas is all know this same bitch from Paris, France
Step up, get a slice of my shit on a shingle
Buildin' more character than Pat Hingle
I'm the motherfuckin' slayer
Death comin' straight from my AR
Which is short for Armalite Rifle
You and Edith better motherfuckin' stifle
I'm Kevlar, niggas is like glue
Whatever they shoot bounce off me, richochets into you

So if you like cleanin' heads with mops and buckets
USA ain't nuttin' ta fuck wit'
Navy and Air Force is straight-up suckas
USA ain't nuttin' ta fuck wit'

Ha!
Representin' Fort Leonard Wood!
The rugged lands of Fort Dix!
U.S. Army choppin' heads!
It aint' safe no more!
Peace! No, wait. Skip that.
