R.I.P. STAFF SGT. JOHN A. THORBURN

True story shit. This is one of the best verses ive ever heard @ 1.30:

''People are screaming out songs for R.A. to perform. He refuses a couple, excuses a couple, and then, when the incessant requests for “Uncommon Valor” come about, he tells the DJ to cue it up. He stands in front of the stage as the beat drops.

I blink.

R.A. disappears.

I lose sight of him for a moment.

He reappears, head down, leaning on the DJ set-up.

Crying.

R.A. the fucking Rugged Man. Crying like a motherless child.

He wipes his tears and says:

“This song is a true story about my father, WHO PASSED AWAY YESTERDAY. And this is the first time I’m performing it since he passed away… call me a fag or whatever you want to call me.”

The thing was, TODAY is R.A. the Rugged Man’s BIRTHDAY.''

In the words of RA ''Cause in life: God take, God give''
