Information on the rapper

John James Rambo is a fictional character in the Rambo franchise. He first appeared in the 1972 novel First Blood by David Morrell, but later became more famous as the protagonist of the film series, in which he was played by Sylvester Stallone.

Rambo enlisted in the U.S. Army at the age of 17 on August 6, 1964, although he states in Rambo he was "drafted into Vietnam." After he graduated from Rangeford High School in 1965, his military service began in January 1966. Rambo was deployed to South Vietnam in September 1966. He returned to the U.S. in 1967 and began training with the U.S. Army Special Forces at Fort Bragg, North Carolina under Colonel Sam Trautman's tutelage.

Upon his return to the United States, Rambo discovered that many American civilians hated the soldiers returning from Vietnam, and he claimed that he and other returning soldiers were subject to humiliation and embarrassment by anti-war "hippies" who threw garbage at them, called them "baby killers," and excluded them from society. Worse, it wasn't just ordinary civilians that mistreated Rambo but also the police. In First Blood, Rambo drifted upon a small town in Washington state looking for a place to eat. There, he was immediately subject to abuse by the town's sheriff, who forced him to leave and arrested him for arbtrary reasons. His experiences in Vietnam and back home resulted in an extreme case of post-traumatic stress disorder. At the same time, inner questions of self-identity and reflectiveness had commenced to cause Rambo to lash out at society rather than handling difficult situations in a "civilized" manner. First Blood picks up from this point.

In an attempt to escape all his troubles, Rambo went off to live in Thailand at the end of Rambo: First Blood Part II. Twenty two years later, Rambo met a group of church missionaries. One missionary, Sarah Miller, convinced Rambo to give his home country another chance, asking him "aren't you curious how things might have changed back home". Rambo does eventually return home to Bowie, Arizona.

The portrayal of the character earned Stallone widespread acclaim and recognition. The character was nominated for American Film Institute's list 100 Years…100 Heroes and Villains.

Lyrics

Prologue:

All right, I guess I'll be the one to draw First Blood.

Or maybe you could draw an audience to see any of your new movies.

Come out to the coast; we'll have a few laughs. Sounds sweet!

But no, I'm stuck here with these two jerkweeds,

'Bout to kick their ass with bare feet! Argyle, drop the beat!

Verse 1:

Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off!

Unless it's one of your movies. In which case… I just turn it off! Huh!

When I rip off my shirt and start swinging my stick swords,

I'm hotter than the suicide girls on your switchboards!

My headband's red, but I've got no love for commies!

And no juice was used to produce these armies!

Your High Table rules don't apply to this conflict!

I'll finish you right in the lobby! Mission accomplished!

McClane! South is where your marriage went!

The last tight thing you slid in was an air vent!

They used to say you were a handsome crusader.

Too bad your hairline couldn't be saved by Steve Urkel's neighbor. Oh!

I slip into the jungle, disappear like a ghost,

Then ding! I pop up hot behind ya like toast!

I seek peace, but I'm packing Parabellum.

I was trained to be the very best soldier boy! Tell 'em!

I'll blast an RPG through NYPD's guts!

Simon Says you can PTSDeez nuts!

Verse 2:

The only thing getting ruined is McClane family Christmas!

All your kids still have "decent dad" on their wishlist!

Verse 3:

Hole! Lock!! Arghhhhgh!!!

Scrapped Lyrics

You think stepping on glass hurts McClane?

Do a few tours in 'nam, then you can't complain!

Go home little piggy or get butchered by my knife!

I've already dealt with enough asshole cops in my life!

None of you could fit my shoes that is the power of Rambo!

Even Arnold failed to rip my shtick when he went Commando!

I'm Rocky and roll, best soldier you've ever seen!

My rhymes destroy you faster than an M16!
