1914 - Don’t Tread on Me (Harlem Hellfighters) lyrics
[1914 - Don’t Tread on Me Harlem Hellfighters lyrics]
My name is private Johnson, I'm from AEF
The 369th Infantry Regiment from
Harlem to France, from ghetto to trench
And honestly, here's not much difference
May 15th, an enemy patrol around twenty huns
Me and a box of grenades, I threw
It all then took up my rifle, c'mon
191 days under fire, never retire
Men of Bronze go forward or die
Hold one's ground that's why
They call us Hellfighters
God knows I give as good as I got
The fucking Labelle had a
Magazine clip of just
Three rounds and I firеd it all
There was no time for rеloading
I swung my rifle and brought it down with
A thrown blow upon the enemy's head
He went down crying and
Close-in fighting began
I stabbed one Jerry in the stomach
Felled a lieutenant and took a pistol shot
In my arm before driving his
Knife between the ribs of a soldier
Who had climbed on my back
I killed four boches and wounded maybe ten or
Maybe five more can't count it well
The only weapon left is my bolo knife
So I climbed up from the ground and charged
Hacking away at the foes
There wasn't anything so fine about it
Just fought for my life
A rabbit would have done that
The 369th Infantry Regiment from
Harlem to France, from ghetto to trench
And honestly, here's not much difference
May 15th, an enemy patrol around twenty huns
Me and a box of grenades, I threw
It all then took up my rifle, c'mon
191 days under fire, never retire
Men of Bronze go forward or die
Hold one's ground that's why
They call us Hellfighters
God knows I give as good as I got
The fucking Labelle had a
Magazine clip of just
Three rounds and I firеd it all
There was no time for rеloading
I swung my rifle and brought it down with
A thrown blow upon the enemy's head
He went down crying and
Close-in fighting began
I stabbed one Jerry in the stomach
Felled a lieutenant and took a pistol shot
In my arm before driving his
Knife between the ribs of a soldier
Who had climbed on my back
I killed four boches and wounded maybe ten or
Maybe five more can't count it well
The only weapon left is my bolo knife
So I climbed up from the ground and charged
Hacking away at the foes
There wasn't anything so fine about it
Just fought for my life
