Don't take my kindness for weakness oh no

Don't take my silence for ignorance oh no

So if you're into steppin' over lines stompin' on my way of life

There's two things you need to know

We don't retreat we reload

Always into givin' a helpin' hand but never take a handout

Shakin' hands to sign a deal that's what we're still about

Keep sweat on our brow and dirt on our plow

In hopes for makin' a future for the ones that we care about

It's a tradition passed down like hand me down jeans with stitches

That humble background is rollin' through our system flowin' like a river

Bred to be a hero and never play the victim

Never start nothin' but we will finish it

So don't be so quick to run your lips

Cause you could get slapped by the same hand that I woulda helped you with

Somebody tell 'em

Don't take my kindness for weakness oh no

Don't take my silence for ignorance oh no

So if you're into steppin' over lines stompin' on my way of life

There's two things you need to know

We don't retreat we reload

A lot of times we don't speak we just listen

Silence is a virtue try it and find out what you been missin'

Although we keep our distance I peak over the fence

And think the world needs a little john wayne in it

Respect is earned we say ma'am and sir

Salute those who served cause it's well deserved

The first to call you out if you're lyin'

But the last to kick ya out if you're tryin'

We're the worst folks to those who kick us when we're down

But the best to those who've always been around

Friends for life trespassers get shot once

Survivors shot twice

Don't take my kindness for weakness oh no

Don't take my silence for ignorance oh no

So if you're into steppin' over lines stompin' on my way of life

There's two things you need to know

We don't retreat we reload

Nah we don't retreat we reload
