The Good Fight (Explicit) - Phonte
When you wake up in the morning
I want to go to the mirror
And I want you to look yourself in the eyes and say "F**K - YOU
F**k your hopes f**k your dreams
F**k ALL the good that you thought life was gon' brang you
Now let's go out there and try to make this b**ch happy"
New Tigallo New Tigallo New Tigallo New Tigallo
Up early with the sun and the stars
6 a m ring the alarm
Weatherman say it's 90 today
But it's gon' feel like a hundred tomorrow
So throw some fresh water under the arms
Bullshit soon as I come in the job
Boss hit me with the news like a box-cutter under the jaw
Said they just had a meeting and I'm 'bout three hundred
Are y'all are gettin fired 'Cause we been defunded
Can't say I didn't even see it coming
I always knew on one day
They'd find a way to throw me to the wolves and once they
Came into my room on that Friday afternoon I was thinkin
"Why you faggot-a** niggas couldn't fire me on Monday "
I know it's not sane but yo I'm just sayin
Everybody prays for the day they see the light
But the light at the end of the tunnel is a train
$5 gas and poverty rates
Are rising much higher than your hourly rates
So if you thinkin 'bout quittin you should probably wait
'Cause err'ybody gotta do a f**kin job that they hate
"Go and live out your dreams " that's what they tellin
Fam in my ear all day and they yellin
"Keep it real Tay and don't ever sellout"
But how the f**k you sell out when ain't nobody sellin
Tired of playin wit' y'all
I wanna fight the good fight but it ain't payin me dog
N C (MAKE YA MON-EY ) V A (MAKE YA MON-EY )
To my man still hustlin hard tryna get it at whatever the cost
Wherever you at or whoever you are
That's me (MAKE YA MON-EY ) All day (MAKE YA MON-EY )
It's like chasin a high you just wanna get a hit
Just wanna get a taste just want a benefit
Everyday you Wake up there's the legitimate
Struggle between doin whats right and just doin some ni**a sh*t
Baby bro wrote me say he feel he lost me
I'm like "Dude I'm tryin back the f**k up off me"
My single friends say "Tay your family's beautiful"
I'm like "If y'all niggas only knew what it cost me"
This sh*t don't come with no blueprints
And with every change it seems more like a game you could never win
I tell my peoples I ain't rich
But this harvest is the farthest from broke a ni**a ever been
"Go and live out your dreams " that's what they tellin
Fam in my ear all day and they yellin
"Keep it real Tay and don't ever sellout"
But what the f**k is sellin out if ain't nobody sellin
Sh*t
Tired of playin wit' y'all
I wanna fight the good fight but it ain't payin me dog
N C (MAKE YA MON-EY ) V A (MAKE YA MON-EY )
To my man still hustlin hard where you at or whoever you are
CoinStar pennies out of the jar haha
All day ni**a (MAKE YA MON-EY ) Remember that sh*t (MAKE YA MON-EY )
