The Good Fight (Explicit)

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 )
