Tap Tap Salute lyrics
(1st Verse)
First Things First,
To be Army strong,
Its kinda crazy how the world aint getting along,
Don't care what they say about them,
Cause we really need them,
If it wasn't for Military, we wouldn't have our freedom,
The most powerful Military in the whole world,
Not just the nation, but the whole world,
That's why I stay ready to set sail like Blue and Gold,
Cause their weather any storm when it's time to roll,
They lose their life to save a life,
Case you didn't know,
It's not a motto, it's a way of life, that's all they know,
(Chours)
Tap Tap Salute
This for the victims of the 9/11
The ones that live and made it to heaven
Tap Tap Salute
This for the soldiers in Iraq
The ones that died and the ones that made it back
Tap Tap Salute
This appreciation from me,
For the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines
Tap Tap Salute
I can't forget about the Cost Gaurd
They ain't coming home, cause they going hard!
(2nd Verse)
Motto of the Cost Gaurd,
Simple separatist,
In lamin term,
That means they always ready,
I do it for the President,
And all the congressmen,
I do it for the new comer and the Veteran,
21 Gun salute,
For the soldiers that we lost,
To pay my respect,
I gotta take my hat off,
It's the land of the Free
Home of the Brave,
Salute to the flag,
When the flag's being raised,
Nobody comes close,
Always above all,
Especially F18 take off,
First we gotta Flight, Fight, then Win
USA, I love this country that I'm in.
Wouldn't change it for nothing,
It keep me from the violence,
For the soldiers that we lost,
Let's have a moment of silence.
(Chours)
Tap Tap Salute
This for the victims of the 9/11
The ones that live and made it to heaven
Tap Tap Salute
This for the soldiers in Iraq
The ones that died and the ones that made it back
Tap Tap Salute
This appreciation from me,
For the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines
Tap Tap Salute
I can't forget about the Cost Gaurd
They ain't coming home, cause they going hard!
