Fruitless

[Verse 1] What you fighting for? Last man standing, what you standing for? Ask yourself you fueled by the mission or you wanted more? Foolish thought you had an advantage, diminishing rewards After all you just another victim of the Fog of War You selfish You took the first chance and accepted To take a couple lives but survival out the question You wasted Any opportunity to win you filled with hatred Peace was the answer but you think it’s overrated You see what they did to all your soldiers and you thought that you was different Composure out the question wanted chaos you was ignant And how you gonna fight a thousand of em think you gifted? See a movie try to replicate what John Wick did I’m disgusted looking back You could have been a leader for the pack Cause hard times coming ain’t no shelter to go back to Ain’t nothing accomplished get no medals nor a statue [Hook] Can’t be diplomatic when the enemy is ruthless You can’t continue fighting when the end goal is useless You left your momma sobbing no forgiveness when the truth is You looking for revenge fighting wars that’s really fruitless [Verse 2: Mick Jenkins] I had the fear of God It’s the only way my spirit ride Getting even always had me feeling odd, though It never mirrored math Made you second guess the purest path Make a scene about who you avoid I know that screaming at the void ain’t gon cure this wrath And I been dreaming about joy that could cure this sad Turn my mad into pure disdain They even used my hands to fuel this game Into their hands the way I played I lose my name Color me the blues they sing It come full circle I’m maneuvering Tryna keep these kids from the truest things in life It’s hard maneuvering on innocence Proven when you peep the shorties mobbing not so militant It’s more like it’s meant to be they diligent fosho When surrounded by this ignorance we Gilligan I know I mean I ain’t the one to know But I could paint the pictures told Gotta walk light you would think I’m pigeon-toed Not too many didn’t fold [Hook] Can’t be diplomatic when the enemy is ruthless You can’t continue fighting when the end goal is useless You left your momma sobbing no forgiveness when the truth is You looking for revenge fighting wars that’s really fruitless
