Linguistic - Independent hip hop squirrel trying to get a nut.
Updated: December 23, 2007 I'm back (again)! Let's see if I can crank out a few decent songs while I'm feeling inspired! I've been making music since 2003 when I was deployed to Iraq. I've been on a six month hiatus, so it's time to get back to work!

Story behind the song
This is me. I like to think this track is a part of me put into musical form. I use Tiger JK in the intro to show what hip hop should be like and then I flip it and use my makeshift studio setup to rock the mic.
Lyrics
“Straight Forward” VERSE 1 Guerrilla Lyricism by the poetical terrorist Antagonistic rhyming all the time flowin from my mind Gotta look hard to find a soldier spittin what he feels Government will never steal my thoughts and my emotions Deal with it while Linguistic comes with it You thought that I retired but I only took a break to reevaluate my life Through the struggle and the strife of being married to my wife, the military and my music use it as a punch line to a dis the fact of the matter is ya dealin with a cat that doesn’t spit for your approval keep up hope for my removal but you’ll lose the greatest leadership the way that the Egyptians lost the rights to own the Gaza strip HOOK (2X) Another trip – gear up Erase the face – cheer up Check my ammo – wear my camo – designated desert panel Pattern on my battle dress uniform Uniformity that discerns me from the enemy VERSE 2 I know you thought impossible implausible that I would make a track without a flaw – I’m full of it because it’s true that I am not perfect nor will I ever claim to be I keep it real with genuine appeal The truth in all its glory L-I-N-G MC The man behind the uniform Uniformity the normalty I’m royalty behind the mic but never payin royalties for music Through my music I’m reformin me The soldier on the outer but on the inside I’m individual I’m spittin complex - so much so I leave residuals on your mind I’m better than sex -now that’s debatable but some of you would never know Unless your dates inflatable – the rest of ya just feel my flow HOOK VERSE 3 Second class citizen – they don’t care about a veteran Think they’re better than the real better men Livin large – thinking that they built their life self-made Never thinking of the sacrifice a soldier made Layin down his life – do you think you’d be in your position if I never left my wife? Grabbed my rifle, lead my troops into a firefight Cup of life – drink it up To the fullest live it up All about today - tomorrow comes for you but for a soldier time is up Spillin blood in a foreign land Kuwait, Iraq, or Afghanistan We take a stand – man and woman Keep them fightin over there, not here in a state like Delaware!
