about

This tune is an upbeat workout in the gym type joint that asks the question "What are you fighting for"? Whatever it is you are fighting for in this life, albeit something of substance...keep fighting y'all! Produced by The Arkeologists (Toronto). Had to keep this one raw too. A perfect clean mix wasn't necessary on this one. Big shouts to my dude Mookie Wilson for introducing me to Arkeologist Norman. #InThaKutRadio.

lyrics

So what you fighting for...a stand or a cause whether right or wrong?
A fight with ya broad, a fight with the law the rifles are drawn
Fight for the scores to be even in the honour of freedom
Fight for the poor roaming the streets that wanna be eating
Fight in the ring, a fight for the men that wanna be kings
Fighting to sing to bandwagoners fighting to cling
To the nuts!!!...fighting to stay relevant, fight to say what's intelligent
A fight to say what's forever slick
A fight to be original in this digital age
A fight with acoustics and sound men when I get on the stage
Fighting for change, fight for bright lights and mics to get slayed
I fight in a game full of lames that sound alike and the same
I fight for the culture... a fight to muster the strength to fight the frustr'
...ation...I stay patient and take aim to snipe these vultures
Fighting the status quo... fight the status quo with the baddest flows
Average joes have to go casket closed....

Hook
Fighting that good fight...so what you fighting for?
Giving or the receiving end...yo what side you on?
You could go toe to toe or blow for blow
Scathed or unscathed...keep fighting y'all
uhhhh...What you fighting for?...what you fighting for?
What you fighting for?...uhhh, uhhh
uhhhh...What you fighting for?...what you fighting for?
What you fighting for?...uhhh, uhhh

So what you fighting for?...rebounds after a missed shot?
Fight for extra yards after you get popped
Fight for your life after a missed block
Fight for first down yardage and get props
300 pounds coming at you..the shit's hot!
Fight for the feeling of glory and praise
Fight for awards and acclaim, fighting the war of the words for more of the pay
Fighting for pride and ego, fight to rise high as a church steeple
Fight against the hurt and the evils
Fight against the media lies and the stories they tell
Fighting the front page news cause they hope that you fail
Fight to preserve an image...a fight from the moment you entered
The league...to scrimmaging hard leads to becoming a centre
Of attention...fighting the pressure expectation is high
Fight with an eye on the prize and elevate to the sky
Fight for celebrity buzz but longevity first
Keep fighting that injury bug...longevity's curse...Keep on...

Hook

What you fighting for?....I'm fight you from yapping my ear off
I fight coming to grips with my hair loss
Fight time's continuum, fight keeping my stress to a minimum
Fight the underhanded type subliminals
Fighting against the criminal element that keeps plaguing my community
Fighting for black love and more unity
Fighting those that act foolishly on impulse...
Penetentiaries full of my kind and that shit sucks
Fight for equality and common ground
Fight for the resurrection of that '94 common sound...today's (rah rah) calm it down
Fight for the day that we could... walk the block, not worried 'bout strays
And child molesters at parks searching for prey
Fighting for piece of mind... fighting for peace by design
Fight for kats to put down the piece promoting peace in their rhymes
Fight for exposure... fight for the finish line to get closer
Fight for the day that success for me will show up...till then I keep
