Fighting Words Songtext
von Snowgoons

Shout out to my Snow Goose family
We go way back
They was there on my first tour and everything
We still out here, we still pushing
Just trying to make ends meet
Fighting for our words to be heard, you know?

In the beginning all I knew was being young, black and gifted
Caught up in some bad business with some scumbags and grifters
I found some cash was missing, no guns or ass whippings
Distributed, settled differences and come back with wisdom
It′s some hard lessons, but they never canceled out God's blessings
Reminding myself when at this nine to five job stressing
Got questions, like when these dollars gon′ equal this expertise?
It's bittersweet, this might be something a brother may never reach

Is that a reality check or me accepting my defeat?
I broke bread with the best of 'em, still my family′s gotta eat
And bills stack up every week, lately they′re doubling


Inflation sky high so I can't hate on brothers hustling
That′s nothing when working every day still ain't enough to win
The older version of me understands everything my mother meant
The stresses turn my mental into mincemeat

Who cares about me to your ending when men
Here just trying to make they ends meet

I′m fighting for my words to be heard
Stood strong like a soldier when the
Worst shit occurred (Talk about it)
I'm fighting for my rights and integrity
My freedom means everything, a servant I will never be (Never be)
I′m fighting for my words to be heard
Stood strong like a soldier when the
Worst shit occurred (Let's talk about it)
I'm fighting for my rights and integrity
My freedom means everything, a servant I will never be

Yo, I′m still hearing it, I be slick with that
Still getting bread with writtens and chicken scratch
Said they wanted smoke, I gave ′em a lick and a piff connect


Ronnie with the three card, Marnie quick with the mix and match
Used to bag rock for the bands and was amped like Nickelback
The written rap is food for thought, check the nutrition facts
Talking I could knock it out the park without a wiffle bat
As of lately the politics, it got me sick of rap
Restless, stressing whether to disattach
I been on the low lately, got it ready to go with no safety
Used to bang with a gritty gang 'til the coach played me
Now that I′m back sober, I just ask that they pass the cash over
Snakes just got me mowing the grass lower

Look I been there and back, still aware that they fear the facts
I hear the cap but you'll never hear that I mirror that
Homie I don′t think you know me, give me ten feet
Connect with my connect and make the ends meet, peace

I'm fighting for my words to be heard
Stood strong like a soldier when the
Worst shit occurred (Talk about it)
I′m fighting for my rights and integrity
My freedom means everything, a servant I will never be (Never be)
I'm fighting for my words to be heard
Stood strong like a soldier when the
Worst shit occurred (Let's talk about it)
I′m fighting for my rights and integrity
My freedom means everything, a servant I will never be
