“Fight My Way Out”
Chorus
All the days and nights I would never know
All the years i’d have lost
If I didn’t fight it out
So I had to fight it out
So I had to fight it out
V1
Back to the ropes
Not losing hope
Eyes swollen closed
Can’t see what I’m swinging at
Crack to the dome
Jaw getting broke
Face split to bone
Can’t see what I’m looking at
Give in to faith
Given the strength
Lived in a place
Where the snakes keep on biting back
But I keep on fighting back
Remembering back to those times in my basement
Up all night
Walking back and forth pacing
Waiting to come down while my heart beats racing
I just wanted one more so bad I can taste it
I was so far gone
It was clear I wasn’t learning
I walked around
Wearing a veneer on the surface
Thinking everybody thinks I’m so close to perfect
Feeling like I had to be someone that was worth it
I had some close friends that were nothing but an anchor
Had to cut them off before they drug me down to danger
I have some stories I could tell you
But you’d think were fiction
I had to cool down, I was only making friction
First I got sick of the drinking every weekend
Then I got tired of never sleeping from the tweaking
You went and had a kid
And didn’t change
You ain’t thinking
Add it up, and you wonder why we’re hardly speaking?
Chorus
All the days and nights I would never know
All the years i’d have lost
If I didn’t fight it out
So I had to fight it out
So I had to fight it out
V/2s
Fell off the edge
Down to the depths
Losing my breath
Too deep for me to climb it out
Taking the steps
Taking a breath
Making progress
Keep going, You can fight it out
Searching for the truth
Felt like no use
Fell in to blue skies
When I had a clouded mind
But it passed in time
I think of life now
If it never would have happened
Whole world collapsed
No rap, that’s a wrap then
No songs wrote, no albums, no shows
No kids, no Linds
Traded it all for the blow
Forget the days of living with my demons
They can’t have me
I found a better home for my soul in my family
Finally found a girl to fall for me that can stand me
Im up & down so much
I’m playing tug of war with gravity
My life ended up where it did
It just had to be
I really could care less
About the people who will laugh at me
I opened up about my faith
Then they went called me fake
But I never seen them at a show say it to my face
Had t,o take control or get sucked into a black hole
And what happens after that?
No one claims to ever know
I’m seeing life now
From the side of the half full glass
But the empty space
isn’t negative
it’s a chance to advance
