Goodie Mob

Goodie Mob - Fighting lyrics

rate me

Put me in a serious situation hope I get another chance

To live life as I know

4:30 was the time, I'm feelin' a pain in my chest

I guess I smoke too much sess

Makin' a nigga mo' slow off the doe in Olympian bubblin' under who

Where's the crew thick mist in the trail

I'm feelin' pressure off the tess

Spine advertising swine on Channel 2 when in the same breath

You tellin' me don't eat from that plate increasin' my blood

Outbreaks on my skin don't blend with the way I want this thang to flow

If I can help the cause don't have to treat it with no tricks

You settin' me cancer on a stick, visualize destruction soon to come

Throwin' within this city we call Atlantis

Prayin' like a mantis everyday ain't good in the woods of Southwest

I stress in my rhymes...fighting for yo' spirit and you mind!

So what it be like my brother be catching gangrene

The water be brown in the morning in my sink

Who that in my eyes some Clampett eaten away by fungi

Another virus disease, at ease, quick to lead a strike against Haiti

When half your army in the bed with pains in their back

And behind their head

Witch doctors giving more Medicaid but ain't no aid

But these ain't tha same from 'Nam, didn't give a damn

Who only wanted Saddam now your hands numb

Can't run old age before thirty

This what you wanted when you signed your (hand) 'cock on tha line

Fightin' for your spirit and your mind, service to my kind...

Seems like we're fighting for our spirit and mind

They got us fighting for our spirit and mind

Still fighting for our spirit and mind

We can't stop fighting for our spirit and mind

Multiple stab wounds sticin' thru in the ol' school Cutlass Supreme

Thirty-five cents to my name and that's fo' a blunt man

The way thangs goin' today I might as well be dead, so dread

The voices on the radio got me seamed

Can't put a smile on my face cuz my pockets ain't straight

At least not the way I want 'em to be

Early as phuckk, eight fifty-one

Last night I barely got some Z's ... sleep...uh

I can't ol' Burd in the next room havin' nightmares

It sound like wind blowin' when she weep, speak

I can't I'm tired on the way to the slave camp...

I utter very little words, I'm thinkin' about a ciggy I snatched

From the jaws of death, a sack of crumbled herb ...

Rollin' down Main Street

East Point, I swerve, Campbelton Rd, Southside

Eight fify-five, jacket at bus top standin', sweatin' but, I ain't

smilin

Outside it's twenty below fool I'm ridin' to the liquor store

Closed that's right I go hotta at this beeso I know

Who work at the Texaco Gas station, pacin' back down memory lane

Feelin' strange can't Explain, so bare wit me pleae

Thru this green light I sees

That tramp that gave me herpes wreck, wham, crash, stumblin' jumps out

The ride empty the glock fo', five, D.E.A.D.

Woke up handcuffed inside Grady

Tagged with an I-U-D (intoxicated una dank)

I took two swiggs outts my deuce-deuce, old E

Now Stephen K-I-N-G had the story all wrong

Blood last five points, I'm gone

[Cee-Lo]

As individuals and as a people we are at war

But the majority of my side got they eyes open wide

But still don't recognize what we fighting fo

I guess that's what I'm writing for to try to shed some light

But we been in the darkness for so long, don't know right from wrong

Y'all scared to come near it, you ignore the voice

In your head when you hear it

The enemy is after yo' spirit but you think it's all in yo' mind

You'll find a lot of the reason we behind

Is because the system is designed to keep our third eyes blind

But not blind in the sense that our other two eyes can't see

You just end investing quality time in places you don't even neeed to be

We don't even know who we are, but the answer ain't far

Matter of fact its right up under our nose

But the system taught us to keep that book closed

See the reason why he gotta lie and deceive is so

That we won't act accordingly

To get the blessings we suppose to receive

Yeah it's true, Uncle Sam wants you to be a devil too

See, he's jealous because his skin is a curse but what's worse

is if I put it in a verse y'all listen to some bullshit first

We ain't natural born killas, we are a spiritual people

God's chosen few

Think about the slave trade when they had boats with

Thousands of us on board

And we still was praising the Lord now you ready to die

Over a coat, a necklace round your throat, that's bullshit

Black people ya'll better realize, we losin, you better fight and die

If you got to get yo' spirit and mind back and we got to do it together

Goodie Mob means, "The Good Die Mostly Over Bullshit"

You take away one "O" and it will let you know

"God is Every Man of Blackness"

The Lord has spoken thru me and the G-Mo-B!
