Fighting - Goodie Mob[00:00:00]
Put me in a serious situation hope I get another chance[00:00:14]
To live life as I know[00:00:16]
4:30 was the time I'm feelin' a pain in my chest[00:00:18]
I guess I smoke too much sess[00:00:21]
Makin' a nigga mo' slow off the doe in[00:00:23]
Olympian bubblin' under who[00:00:25]
Where's the crew thick mist in the trail[00:00:26]
I'm feelin' pressure off the tess[00:00:29]
Spine advertising swine on Channel[00:00:31]
2 when in the same breath[00:00:32]
You tellin' me don't eat from that plate increasin' my blood[00:00:34]
Outbreaks on my skin don't blend with[00:00:37]
The way I want this thang to flow[00:00:39]
If I can help the cause don't have to treat it with no tricks[00:00:40]
You settin' me cancer on a stick [00:00:44]
Visualize destruction soon to come[00:00:46]
Throwin' within this city we call Atlantis[00:00:47]
Prayin' like a mantis everyday ain't good[00:00:50]
In the woods of Southwest[00:00:52]
I stress in my rhymes fighting[00:00:54]
For yo' spirit and you mind [00:00:55]
So what it be like my brother be catching gangrene[00:00:57]
The water be brown in the morning in my sink[00:00:59]
Who that in my eyes some[00:01:02]
Clampett eaten away by fungi[00:01:03]
Another virus disease at ease [00:01:04]
Quick to lead a strike against Haiti[00:01:06]
When half your army in the bed with pains in their back[00:01:09]
And behind their head[00:01:11]
Witch doctors giving more Medicaid but ain't no aid[00:01:12]
But these ain't tha same from[00:01:15]
'Nam didn't give a damn[00:01:17]
Who only wanted Saddam now your hands numb[00:01:18]
Can't run old age before thirty[00:01:20]
This what you wanted when[00:01:22]
You signed your (hand) 'cock on tha line[00:01:23]
Fightin' for your spirit and your mind [00:01:26]
Service to my kind [00:01:28]
Seems like we're fighting for our spirit and mind[00:01:29]
They got us fighting for our spirit and mind[00:01:37]
Still fighting for our spirit and mind[00:01:41]
We can't stop fighting for our spirit and mind[00:01:45]
Multiple stab wounds sticin' thru[00:01:50]
In the ol' school Cutlass Supreme[00:01:52]
Thirty-five cents to my name and that's fo' a blunt man[00:01:55]
The way thangs goin' today[00:01:58]
I might as well be dead so dread[00:01:59]
The voices on the radio got me seamed[00:02:02]
Can't put a smile on my face[00:02:04]
'Cause my pockets ain't straight[00:02:06]
At least not the way I want 'em to be[00:02:07]
Early as phuckk eight fifty-one[00:02:09]
Last night I barely got some Z's sleep uh[00:02:10]
I can't ol' Burd in the next room havin' nightmares[00:02:13]
It sound like wind blowin' when she weep speak[00:02:16]
I can't I'm tired on the way to the slave camp [00:02:19]
I utter very little words [00:02:22]
I'm thinkin' about a ciggy I snatched[00:02:23]
From the jaws of death a sack of crumbled herb [00:02:25]
Rollin' down Main Street[00:02:28]
East Point I swerve Campbelton Rd Southside[00:02:29]
Eight fify-five jacket at bus top standin' sweatin' but I ain't[00:02:32]
Smilin[00:02:35]
Outside it's twenty below fool I'm ridin' to the liquor store[00:02:36]
Closed that's right I go hotta at this beeso I know[00:02:40]
Who work at the Texaco Gas station [00:02:43]
Pacin' back down memory lane[00:02:45]
Feelin' strange can't Explain so bare wit me pleae[00:02:47]
Thru this green light I sees[00:02:50]
That tramp that gave me herpes wreck [00:02:51]
Wham crash stumblin' jumps out[00:02:53]
The ride empty the glock fo' five D E A D [00:02:56]
Woke up handcuffed inside Grady[00:02:58]
Tagged with an I-U-D (intoxicated una dank)[00:03:01]
I took two swiggs outts my deuce-deuce old E[00:03:03]
Now Stephen K-I-N-G had the story all wrong[00:03:06]
Blood last five points I'm gone[00:03:09]
(Cee-Lo)[00:03:11]
As individuals and as a people we are at war[00:03:12]
But the majority of my side got they eyes open wide[00:03:15]
But still don't recognize what we fighting fo[00:03:23]
I guess that's what I'm writing for to try to she'd some light[00:03:25]
But we been in the darkness for so long [00:03:30]
Don't know right from wrong[00:03:32]
Y'all scared to come near it you ignore the voice[00:03:33]
In your head when you hear it[00:03:35]
The enemy is after yo' spirit[00:03:36]
But you think it's all in yo' mind[00:03:38]
You'll find a lot of the reason we behind[00:03:40]
Is because the system is designed to keep our third eyes blind[00:03:42]
But not blind in the sense that our other two eyes can't see[00:03:46]
You just end investing quality time[00:03:49]
In places you don't even neeed to be[00:03:50]
We don't even know who we are [00:03:52]
But the answer ain't far[00:03:54]
Matter of fact it's right up under our nose[00:03:55]
But the system taught us to keep that book closed[00:03:58]
See the reason why he gotta lie and deceive is so[00:04:00]
That we won't act accordingly[00:04:02]
To get the blessings we suppose to receive[00:04:04]
Yeah it's true Uncle Sam wants you to be a devil too[00:04:06]
See he's jealous because his skin is a curse but what's worse[00:04:09]
Is if I put it in a verse y'all listen to some bullshit first[00:04:13]
We ain't natural born killas [00:04:16]
We are a spiritual people[00:04:17]
God's chosen few[00:04:19]
Think about the slave trade when they had boats with[00:04:21]
Thousands of us on board[00:04:25]
And we still was praising[00:04:26]
The Lord now you ready to die[00:04:27]
Over a coat a necklace round your throat that's bullshit[00:04:30]
Black people ya'll better realize [00:04:34]
We losin you better fight and die[00:04:36]
If you got to get yo' spirit and mind back[00:04:38]
And we got to do it together[00:04:42]
Goodie Mob means [00:04:43]
"The Good Die Mostly Over Bullshit"[00:04:44]
You take away one "O" and it will let you know[00:04:46]
"God is Every Man of Blackness"[00:04:49]
The Lord has spoken thru me and the G-Mo-B[00:04:51]
