The day that I enlisted
Was a result of a private where Jesus Christ felt like I was lifted
Then I got injured and the hospital was like a prison
Fell out of tough with my faith I was nihilistic
They call me Cyclops cause I was blind in one eye
I'm out the army now I'm tryna decide
How to properly fit in with civilians I'm used to killing
Got me feeling all confused who the hero and who the villain
Hopped in my red Camaro
Shot down the street like lead in a barrel decked out in my veteran apparel
I drove aimlessly for miles until I saw this country that'd want me to kill
I took a bullet for this motherf***er
Thousand miles later finally made a stop
Small town restaurant got damn the waitress hot
Ordered tater tots got her number later that night
We was at the bar taking shots til we fell in love
I said lets go Las Vegas and do this knew this was made for my soul
Drove all night and was awake for the ????
She wanna play the slots nicknamed her Tater Tot
Cause of how we met
Cool i need a shower bet
Found a motel on the strip I'm checking in
When out the blue some Mexicans came in the lobby like they bout to shoot
Some Asians that were running down the hall brazen
Everybody pulling out they s*** like its an invasion
The Mexicans let them Asians have the Asians had to fire back
Til they was outta bullets and the blood splattered everywhere
Deal gone bad or somebody robbing
Either way somebody's rotten all I hear is bodies dropping
I jump behind the front desk in the nick of time
The crook is on the floor blood made me slip and slide
But I'm the last man standing
Reflex made me grab a cannon out a dying man's hand
Then I noticed that a car was running
Sack of guns on the floor plus unmarked bills by the hundreds
Driver coming at me gunnin
Sirens blaring in the distance cause the caps are coming
I spun around and I hit the deck
Heard the bullets whiz by my ear I let off hit him in the chest
Quicker than the bullets left the chamber
I grab the sack off the floor hit the door with the bangers
Looking for my lady at the casino she was in the zone
I said we gotta go she like why and I'm like come on
Who need to gamble baby ????
Put the chips down we gotta go right now it's lil s***
Now we speeding down the I-15
First time I noticed that her eyes were green gave her a gun and a magazine
Made her count the loot
But when she saw the score she pointed the gun at me now she about to shoot
