FIGHTER

[Verse 1: Saba]

Me and E-Guy just fought 'cause his family wouldn't stop talking

We neighbors who argued often, I run, I jog to him

Toss a jab, and I caught him, he threw a left—ain't connect

'Cause I ducked when I came back up, I seen his sister talking trash

Like, "Touch my brother, I'm beating yo' ass"

("Touch my brother, I'm beating yo' ass, nigga!")

So I fucked her brother up to see what she about, yeah

Walked away, and then we noticed that his teeth was out, yeah

She ain't do shit, she just mad, we got to see her pout

So me and Cell, we just fought, I was walking, and then he jawed me

I dropped to the floor while calling for help in front of my grandmother's house

The next hit, he punched me my mouth

I can't believe I'm on the ground 'cause I tried to hit him, I gambled

I'm ugly cryin' in public—I'm like, "When I get you back, you gon' wish that you never touched me"

Somehow I never could touch him, our brothers broke the shit up

And I walked the rest of the day with my head down

Funny how getting your ass beat'll spread 'round

Ha, yeah

[Chorus: Kaina & Saba]

But I don't wanna fight no more

'Cause I'm not a fighter, I won't no more

But I don't wanna fight no more

'Cause I'm not a fighter, I won't no more

[Verse 2: Saba]

So me and E-Guy, we scrap again

Jacob jumped in, I'm handicapped

Manny watched from across the street

Then he ran up and hopped on me

Three on one, they teaming up, but me, I never think to run

They circling around

Got me surrounded like police or something (Woop-woop!)

So it's bad enough they already jumpin' me

Then I see Cell coming—I'm praying, "Please don't fuck with me"

("Please leave me the fuck alone")

It's not fair, and I think he agree

So instead of fighting with them, he came and teamed up with me

Me and Grandpa ain't talked since I stopped attending the college

He called me, said I'm a scholar, I should be getting my doctorate

"Or, shit, at least in the army, instead you chose to hip-hopper

I know how this is gon' end 'cause I went through this with your father"

Me and my girl just fought 'cause I talked before she could talk

She was telling a story, I cut her off with some shit not 'bout the same topic

So she just stopped in the middle before the plot hit

The rest of the car ride silent, like "You always do this"

Like, "You don't value my thoughts—either that, or you too damn stupid to realize

That if you don't hear me out, then I'ma feel muted

You say that you care; well, show it—I'm not asking a lot

I know you think you listening, but you just waiting to talk," ha

My fault

[Chorus: Kaina & Saba]

But I don't wanna fight no more

'Cause I'm not a fighter, I won't no more

But I don't wanna fight no more

'Cause I'm not a fighter, I won't no more

[Verse 3: Saba]

It's harder to love myself when all these people compliment me

Somehow it just remind me what I don't got

But these folks don't care to know, they think you rolling in the dough

Not realizing your next meal is a 4-for-$4

Still feeling the guilt that Walt never thought to call

Fighting myself to get out of bed

I'm fighting myself to get out of bed

Fighting myself (Myself, myself, myself)

[Chorus: Kaina & Saba]

I don't wanna fight no more

'Cause I'm not a fighter

[Outro: Saba]

Yeah, me and all my niggas dropped out

Then we drove to Texas, slept at Waffle House

Kicked out of the hotel, we all broke

We don't got no mattress, sleep on your floor

Me and Grandpa ain't spoke since I dropped out

Made sure on my first tour, stop at his house

I sleep on the hotel, not your floor

He tell me that he proud of his boy

I'm not a janitor no more at Homan Square

Saved up for a roundtrip, LAX

I just learned it's no risk, no reward

I slept on the floor at Port Author' (I slept on the floor)

Me and all my niggas dropped tears

Heart been on the floor for a whole year (Oh, oh)

We all broke

We all broke
