[Intro]
Hand on my heart
Boots in the dirt
If you hate this land
Why you still wear the shirt? (huh)
[Verse 1]
Blue light flashing on a long hard night
He kiss his kids, says a prayer, then drives
You sit safe, talk big, type wild online
He runs toward shots, you just run your mouth, right
ICE in the field, chasing real bad guys
You call ’em names, they just wipe kids’ eyes
Paperwork stacked, same as your bills
Only difference is they face cartels, not feels
You scream “break borders,” then you want help
When chaos comes, you gon’ beg for the belt
Of a vest-worn hero, dust on his badge
You dunk on his life for a couple cheap laughs
[Chorus]
I stand for the flag, two feet on the ground (yeah)
Pledge to this land, say it loud, not proud in a crowd, just proud
Back the blue, back the brave on the line
If you don’t like this place
Why you living in the shine that they grind?
I stand for the flag, hand up, eyes closed
Pray for my troops and the ones on patrol
Love this country, that’s word from my soul
If that make me “wrong”
I don’t care, that’s gold
[Verse 2]
You call him a tyrant, I call him a shield
You chant in a circle, he’s out in the field
You hate on the hat, but you love the results
Jobs in your town while you toss rocks at the votes
You spit on the cop, but you dial his phone
The second you scared and you feel alone
That’s twisted, childish, loud and hollow
Talk about “care” but you cheer when they fall, though
You burn what he guards, talk brave for the cam
But freeze up fast when it’s more than a gram
Of clout in your feed, you ain’t built for the heat
You want soft words, not the truth in the street
I ride with the folks that will run to the mess
Not the ones chasing “likes” in a vest
Trump on the stage, yeah, I like that fight
Says what he thinks, not what tests say’s right
[Chorus]
I stand for the flag, two feet on the ground
Pledge to this land, say it loud, not proud in a crowd, just proud
Back the blue, back the brave on the line
If you don’t like this place
Why you living in the shine that they grind?
I stand for the flag, hand up, eyes closed
Pray for my troops and the ones on patrol
Love this country, that’s word from my soul
If that make me “wrong”
I don’t care, that’s gold
[Bridge]
You kneel in comfort, he kneels in pain
Beside a brother that ain’t going home again
You tweet in anger, he tapes that scene
So your own town kids get to chase their dreams
[Chorus]
I stand for the flag, two feet on the ground (stand up)
Pledge to this land, say it loud, not proud in a crowd, just proud
Back the blue, back the brave on the line
If you don’t like this place
Why you living in the shine that they grind?
I stand for the flag, hand up, eyes closed (eyes closed)
Pray for my troops and the ones on patrol
Love this country, that’s word from my soul
If that make me “wrong”
I don’t care, that’s gold (that’s gold)
