C-130 Rollin'
Motova8 Lyrics

C130 going down the strip
A C-130 aircraft is about to take off

251 gonna take a little trip
251 is a military jargon for a unit, and they are going on a mission

Stand up buckle up shuffle to the door
Soldiers are getting ready to jump out of the airplane following the instructions

Jump right out and shout Marine Core!
Soldiers shout the name of their military branch with pride as they jump out of the plane

If my chute dont open wide
I have a backup parachute in case the first one fails

I have another one by my side
If the primary parachute fails. I have a backup on standby

If my reserve dont blossom round
In the unlikely event that my secondary parachute also fails, then I am out of luck

Ill be the first one on the ground
If all the parachutes fail there is no way to survive, I am going to meet my demise

Soldier Soldier have you heard,
The song is about a conversation between two soldiers

I'm gonna jump out a big iron bird,
The artist is waiting to jump out of the aircraft

Up in the morning in the drizzlin' rain,
It is going to be unpleasant weather when they jump out of the plane

gonna pack my shoot and board the plane,
The artist is ready and carrying his parachute with him onto the aircraft

C-130 rollin' down the strip,
A C-130 aircraft is taxiing onto the runway for takeoff

US Marines on a one way trip,
Marines are going on a mission that will not bring them back to the same place they are leaving from

Mission top secret, destination unknown,
They are going on a classified mission with the details lrmained confidential

I don't even know if i'm comin home.
They are not sure if they will come back from the mission alive

Jump up, hook up, shuffle to the door,
Soldiers get ready to jump out of the aircraft by standing up, securing their equipment, and shuffling to the door

jump on out and count to four (or, jump on out and shout MARINE CORPS)
Following the jump master's instruction, the soldiers jump out of the plane and count to four or shout the name of their branch of service

I'll be splattered on the country side,
If the parachute doesn't work, the soldier will fall and be killed on impact

unless i got a reserve by my side,
The artist will be able to survive if the secondary parachute works

if that shoot should fail me too,
If both parachutes fail, the artist will not survive

look out ground, i'm comin' through,
The artist will hit the ground hard after falling out of the plane

If i land in your drop zone,
If the singer happens to land in someone's assigned landing area, they are requesting their remains to be shipped home

Box me up and ship me home,
Requesting for the remains to be packaged and sent back home

If i die on a chinese hill,
If the singer dies on the hill of China

take my gear or the commies will,
Requesting others to take his gear so that the enemy won’t be able to use it against them

if i land in korean mud,
If the singer happens to land in the mud in Korea

bury me with a case of bud,
Requesting to be buried with a case of Budweiser beer

bury me with speakers all around my toes,
Requesting to be buried with speakers around their toes so that they can hear music to the end

so i can rock to axl rose,
So that they can listen to the rock music of Axl Rose

bury me with speakers all around my head,
Requesting to be buried with speakers around their head so that they can listen to music in the afterlife

so i can rock to the grateful dead,
So that they can listen to the music of Grateful Dead

pin my medals all upon my chest,
Requesting to have medals attached to their chest

tell my momma i did my best,
The artist wants their mother to know they tried their best

then bury me in the Leanin' Rest
They request to be buried in the location known as Leanin' Rest
