Shiny Pokémon Sparkle)
Oh, shit coughing
Welp, it's time to rap yeah
inoue!
I might light up any second
I got tree, I got wraps, it's a wrap
Then I rap let me say it for the record
(SHINY, SHINY, Shiny Pokémon Sparkle)
Still SHINY!, still wild
Still slidin' with no effort
Ride wit' 'Retta, pockets different cheese
(SHINY PACK)
Gouda and some feta, I can't settle
Want gold medal, why I'm pushin' pedals
We on different levels
Let me get that settled
(We on different levels
Let me get that settled)
Supersonic clap 'em with the metal
Leave his ass disheveled (Graow)
Been a rebel, ain't no time to revel
I got fuckin' shit to do! (Uh, huh)
Bitch, I'm always on the move
Why I'm steady countin' blues
I'mma tell yo' ass the truth!
This ain't got no shit to do
With some people that I knew
I'm just tryna make it through
I just linked up with Lynk
Ty howlin' at the moon!
Aye! Don't ask about the speed
I'mma cruise
I'mma go supersonic on a beat, they confused
(Sheesh) he tested me once
Pulled up to his street with the broom
All of you marks funny like
A scene from the room (Scene from the room)
Hahaha, what the bumblebees for the opulence
Shia LaBeouf accomplices
Transform, peel out like Optimus (Esketit)
Who these niggas that's rapping
While flexing 5-0 accomplisments?
Snitch on niggas? Preposterous
Couldn't tell, like androgynous
(Couldn't tell, like androgynous)
Black Kokiri the forest
Make money with my inaugurates (Aye)
You just trying to be seen
So you getting even with opposites
This bag is never stopping
I state with all my confidence (Aye)
Knew I was never normal
But keeping the hoes slobbering
(Hm? Zoom-Zoom)
Sesame, gotta keep that stacked
Be the Hamburgler, how I grip the Mac (Aye)
Better be Neji, better watch yo' back
Bitch, you not Louis, better fix your act
They don't want war, know I'mma conker that
Spray A-K with a dang blade attached
Came to make greatness, they could never have
And we cook daily, word to Breaking Bad
Hyenas, we done ate your pack
If you want beef
Know we can shake your shack
With a "G-G" and a quick "It's a wrap"
Of these quotables, you can make your last
(Damn) but I be snapping like we losing half
Pull the blopper, then you losing mass
If you starting with the
Martian, then it's Roger, like American Dad
Aye! Like American Dad, I surrounded by stans
Upstaging, I'm hazardous
Bound to get banned
See yo' bae, and I'm Bowser
Clownin' they mans
Chick bang like a Howitzer
It's all in my hands
I was tryna get cash, and I got me some bands
You a real bitch, dog
Y'all barked and then ran
Zetsu, y'all Madara, part of the plan
Gunblade like Squall
How the choppa go "Blam!" bow! Bow!
Black whip, what I cruise
Blackwhip, way I move smash hit, Izuku
Linking with Lynk and PE$O, an
Assassin in the booth, uh
Hairpin when I shoot
No pressure, Nobara with the tool on him
Feel addicted 'cause I shoot often
Been rare, y'all too common
Now lemme switch my flow, bitch
Drove you home, went from bro' to foe
Better switch yo' locus
40 shooting like forties
That shit gon' get you loaded
Poppin' gats like Prozacs when my
Doctor lift my dosage
Huh? Bakugo, this shit explosive
Luminary tatted
Do magic like I keep making potions (Yuh)
If that boy want static, we at it
You know I'm stopping motion (Brrah)
Mera Mera flare, only scared
Of the fucking ocean
Roll yo' whole crew up in the blunt
Now we fucking smoking
Uhm, yummy
Shotclock down
I'mma shoot my shot in slow mo'
Red card, talking on my gang is no no
Roll yo' stupid ass up in the blunt
Now you Zoro (Now you Zoro)
Wait, I'mma pour the purple like I'm Gojo
(Aye)
Big ass motherfucking chopper sing like TORO
Wait, I was really cookin' like DiGiorno
(Wait) fuck being cordial
PE$O abnormal
Sheesh
Who the fuck is PE$O PETE? I don't know
Who the fuck is PE$O PETE? Bro', I said
Who is PE$O PETE? Who is he? Bro', I said
"I don't know!"
Who the fuck is PE$O PETE? Gah
Ugh, who the fuck is PE$O

Yo', who the fuck, is PE$O PETE?!
Yo', who the fuck is PE$O PETE? FabvL?!

Yo', who, the fuck, is PE$O PETE?

What's the first reason you wouldn't hesitate even for a second to go AWOL?
Alton Bennett
they take the guns away duh
Doc E
I went AWOL from the National Guard for a couple months. I was a medic and had recently returned from a 18 month deployment to Iraq. I was transferred to a new unit when I returned home and it was time for yearly field exercises and they changed it from 2 weeks to 30 days and I just couldn’t do it. After a couple months I turned myself in to my unit and was demoted from specialist to PFC and had extra duty for awhile. I finished up my contract after another deployment and got out. Now I have great benefits and bought a house using my VA loan. It is tough to turn yourself in and face the consequences but it is way better than a bad conduct discharge or even worse a dishonorable discharge. Losing all the benefits you earned fighting for your country will destroy your life for years it is much better to lose some pay for awhile and mop floors for a couple months.

Insufficent pay. And Not letting me keep that nice Candleholder I found.

captain shows up 5 minutes late to work
Everyone: “hello, private.”
Alex Rompen
@Ean Gdaniec They would be busted to 1LT and they better pray they have a golden tongue to explain why they were AWOL and shouldn't face a court-martial. If it was serious enough for them to actually bust a Cpt, it would be AWOL of more then a few hours or days.

Everyone shtting on this comment because that's not how rank works -..-
Honestly I feel like the fact that it breaks the reality of enlisted vs commission makes it 10x funnier than if it went from Cap. to LT.
