Lyrics for FIGHTER
Me and Egot just far 'cause his family wouldn't stop talking We neighbours who argued often I ran out jogging I tossed a jab and I caught him He threw a left ain't connect 'cause I ducked when I came back up I seen his sister talking trash like "touch my brother, I'm beating yo' ass" So I fucked her brother up to see what she about, yeah Walked away and then we noticed that his teeth was out, yeah She ain't do shit she just mad we got to see him pout So me and Cell we just fought I was walking and then he jumped me I dropped to the floor while calling for help In front of my grandmother's house The next thing he punched me; my mouth I can't believe I'm on the ground 'Cause I tried to hit him I gambled I'm ugly; crying in public I'm like "When I get you back you gon' wish that you never touched me" Somehow I could never touch him Our brothers broke this shit up And I walked the rest of the day with my head down Funny how getting your ass beat is spread 'round But I don't wanna fight no more 'Cause I'm not a fighter I want no more But I don't wanna fight no more 'Cause I'm not a fighter I want no more So Me and Egot we scrap again Jacob jumped in: I'm handicapped Manny watched from across the street Then he ran up and hopped on me 3 on 1, they teaming up But me I never think to run They circling around Got me surrounded like police or some'in So it's bad enough they already jumpin' me Then I see Cell comin', I'm praying "Please don't fuck with me" It's not fair and I think he agrees so instead of fighting with them He came and teamed up with me Me and Grandpa ain't talked since I stopped attending the college He called me said I'm a scholar I should be getting my doctorate Or shit at least in the army Instead you chose to Hip Hop But I know how this is gon' end 'cause I went through this with yo' father Me and my girl just fought 'cause I talked before she could talk She was telling a story I cut her off with some shit not 'bout the same topic So she just stopped in the middle before the plot Hit the rest of the car ride silent like "You always do this like you don't value my thoughts Either that or you too damn stupid to realize That if you don't hear me out then I'ma feel muted You say that you care well show it, I'm not asking a lot I know that you think you listening but you just waiting to talk" My fault But I don't wanna fight no more 'Cause I'm not a fighter I want no more But I don't wanna fight no more 'Cause I'm not a fighter I want no more It's harder to love myself when all these people compliment me Somehow it just remind me what I don't got But these folks don't care to know, they think you rollin' in the dough Not realizin' your next meal if a .444 Still feeling the guilt that walk, never thought to call Fighting myself to get out of bed I'm fighting myself to get out of bed Fighting myself But I don't wanna fight no more 'Cause I'm not a fighter Me and all my niggas dropped out Then we drove to Texas, left that waffle house Keep that in the hotel, we on road We don't got no mattress, sleep on your floor Me and grandpa ain't spoke since I dropped out Made sure on my first tour, stop at his house I sleep on the hotel, not your floor He tell me that he's proud, of his boy I'm not daddy's little boy, homie square Saved up for a round trip, LAX I just learned there's no risk no reward I slept on the floor at Port Arthur Me and all my niggas dropped tears I been on the floor for a whole year We all broke We all broke
