BROCKHAMPTON - FIGHT lyrics
[BROCKHAMPTON - FIGHT lyrics]
My male role models drug dealers and thugs
My father learned how to
Solve problems with guns
And when I grew up, I learned what racism was
And what teaching it does
And like my teachers would say:
"Little Black boys have a place in the world
Like hanging from trees
Or dead in the street" like I seen on TV
All them boys they killed
They looked just like me
Not like Brandon or Chandler
But Malik and Kareem
I was born with a target
And it stuck to my skin
And I learned in social studies
I was one of them men
Who were locked in the chains
But not locked in the pen
But I'm bigger than that
I'm the beginning and end
I'm the sun and the moon
I'm the light and the dark
I am life in the tomb
I'm the pharaoh and slave
Gentrifying my spirit
It's like a knife in the womb
Refuse to act like a parrot
Or to dance like a monkey see
Your stance is apparent
That's why I'm here for the money
Don't care to cater to merit
Y'all fetishizing my spirit
I see your culture’s dependent
On what you didn’t inherit
Won't let my world be attempted
I'm staying distant
Who gonna be the reason why I get high?
Who gonna be the reason why I turn over?
Who gonna be the gunner that I don't trust?
Who gonna be the gunner that
Get they ass whooped?
Who gonna be the reason why I get high?
Who gonna be the reason why I turn over?
Who gonna be the gunner that I don't trust?
Who gonna be the gunner that
Get they ass whooped?
Who gonna be the reason why I get high?
(Bloodsucka)
Who gonna be the reason why I turn over?
(Bloodsucka)
Who gonna be the gunner that I don't trust?
(Bloodsucka) who gonna be the gunner that
Get they ass whooped? (Bloodsucka)
Who gonna be the reason why I get high?
(Bloodsucka)
Who gonna be the reason why I turn over?
(Bloodsucka)
Who gonna be the gunner that I don't trust?
(Trustsucka) who gonna be the gunner that
Get they ass whooped? (Bloodsucka)
Bum, bum, beat 'em
I would never wanna be 'em
If I catch 'em slipping
They gon' have to meet the eagle
Bum, bum, beat 'em
Treat these niggas how I see 'em
I don't need you either
Send you right back where I seen you
Bum, bum, beat 'em
I would never wanna be 'em
If I catch 'em slipping
They gon' have to meet the eagle
Bum, bum, beat 'em
Treat these niggas how I see 'em
I don't need you either
Send you right back where I seen you
In the game, in the game, in the game
In the game (Bloodsucka)
In the game, in the game, in the game
In the game (Bloodsucka)
Running thangs, running, run, running, run
Running thangs (Bloodsucka)
Running thangs, running, run, running, run
Running thangs in the game, in the game
In the game, in the, in the
In the game, in the game, in the game
Running thangs running thangs, running, run
Running, run, running, run
Running thangs, running, run, running, run
Running thangs
