The Army Brat Story
I was born on Ft Sill at Reynold’s Army Hospital. The literal definition of an Army Brat. My dad, Robert Dale Nuckolls was in the Army for 27 years and retired as a Sergeant Major(SGM). Growing up his dad was my hero. I wanted to be in the military just like him. I ran around in Camo everything, every day. My dad passed away September 10th 2019. It was life shattering for me. My hero was gone. The man I called to answer questions and give me advice was gone. He left me a legacy though. He left me strength. He left me honor. He left me courage. He left me all of the good qualities of himself inside of me.
I decided to start working on music again after his death. The pain brought all sorts of creativity to the surface. This song, Army Brat, was one of the pieces born from it. The beat is produced by lawton’s very own Fyu-chur, of Fyu-chur Recording Studios, and the vocals were recorded there. Fyu-chur is executive producing Knuckles next full length album, The Rodeo, which this track, Army Brat is the first single from.
The music video for Army Brat was shot at the Ft Sill National cemetery and the howitzer and war memorial at elmer Thomas park. Knuckles chose to have his mother in the video and his own children in cinematic scenes that pay homage to fallen soldiers at the cemetery. The song is big and patriotic and the video matches it. I hope wherever you are daddy that this song sounds good to you. I love you and miss you forever.

Lyrics
This is for my military wives and my army brats, whose dads and husbands wear fatigues with their army hats. Who proudly stand up for the flag when they’re playing taps. You say duty, honor, country, and I’ll say it back. You make a sacrifice and there’s no way to pay it back. So we say thank you, put it on a track, and play it back. Cause we are grateful as a nation and that is fact. I’m patriotic cause I grew up as an army brat. As an army brat. I grew up as an Army brat. I’m patriot cause I grew up as an army brat. We are grateful as a nation and that is a fact. I’m patriotic cause I grew up as an army brat.G-G-G-G-Grew up as an army brat. We are grateful as a nation and that is a fact. I’m patriotic cause I grew up as an army brat.
If you don’t support the troops then I ain’t messing witcha. Listen. Let this blessing hit ya. This is just a textured picture. (You can feel it)
I done prayed my whole life and I done said some scripture. I done watched my pop leave on his next adventure, on an expedition, on some extra mission, never knowing where he’s headed till the plan’s provisioned. Packed his rucksack his boots and his ammunition. Grabbed his gun. Kissed his wife. And hit his battle station. It’s time to saddle up the horses. Against evils forces. There’s soldiers on the frontline who really know what war is. And we are on the home front. Alone with our own thoughts. How come we can’t get along In our home. Stop! A country divided will soon see its last days. Together United is more than just a catchphrase.
I’ll forever let the flag wave cause they laid it on his casket on the way to my dad’s grave.

Attention!!!!! Better stay in step. If you’re breathing in freedom better thank a vet. If you don’t believe me don’t take a breath. Cause these soldiers face death. can’t pay that debt. March straight to hell’s gates knowing death awaits. Willing to make the sacrifice to keep their family safe. Look the devil in his eye and grab a hand grenade. Pull the pin crack a smile and yell bombs away. If you never lived that life you probably can’t relate. When Uncle Sam calls a man you know can’t escape. Afghanistan, Iran, and Kuwait. Korea, Vietnam, and other damn mistakes. A real life soldier never hesitates. He always follows orders and he never waits. He’s locked and he’s loaded and he’s shooting straight. Won’t stop till it’s over or he meets his fate.
