Battles

We're in a war, were black to the core Before you saved my soul right out of hell My soul I'll never sell, many times I fell My King forgives and He never leaves One day I walked down the street just to see My dad at his home just three blocks from me I was give or take thirteen Back then I was still hurting My dad left my mom and it wasn't fun I can't rest my mind, pain was a drug Anyway my stepmom's little niece Soared into my life like a breeze I was still confused and really abused So I fell in love and I asked her out I was kinda forced but that's no excuse My heart was not just so she said no I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles When I'm defenceless God's my refuge I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles Fight, fight my battles, in the havoc I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles When I'm knocked senseless, He picks me up I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles Fight, fight my battles, in the havoc Yeah, I know I do need to forgive But if you've been through the things I've seen You would understand why I don't forget I do recommend that you don't regret The hard times in your life, it's like rhymes in my mind I did find peace in strife, cause I like this great fight The greater the hardship the better the victory The fakers spit bars that would never make anything Better I mean, they give handouts Scream loud and then they all stand proud But they create lazy people and take away feeble Parts of humanity ain't that so poetic Crushing their talents deeper, thinking they're healers It's no parody, they give food so desperately I know I've been on the receiving end Of food that reeks, is rotten, slimy and black I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles When I'm defenceless God's my refuge I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles Fight, fight my battles, in the havoc I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles When I'm knocked senseless, He picks me up I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles Fight, fight my battles, in the havoc We fight so hard, we don't always win We might fly far from our wrongs and sin But they catch up and then they crash our Lives in mash ups harsher than our lash outs If we stand strong we know we've won It won't be long till we can run Into our King's arms and rest Knowing we gave our very best I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles When I'm defenceless God's my refuge I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles Fight, fight my battles, in the havoc I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles When I'm knocked senseless, He picks me up I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles Fight, fight my battles, in the havoc I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles When I'm defenceless God's my refuge I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles Fight, fight my battles, in the havoc I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles When I'm knocked senseless, He picks me up I must fight my battles, I must fight my battles Fight, fight my battles, in the havoc So don't give up in all of life's muck Don't you dare stuck like a great dead duck I crawl through battle sometimes I'm rattled I fight for my King, sure I can't sing Resist the apple, leave the snake splattered Like a big spilt drink cause we are free We never talk like we do not fight Let's make our bark smaller than our bite
