Fight For My Soul
Since she was a young girl, bought the wrong side of the tracks
Selling drugs and her body for what little she had
Doing just like her momma and her granny had done
She gonna teach her baby daughter who she will become
And it's begun
Starting all over again
Another day another dollar and the baby grows, she does
Momma keepin' secrets but baby, she already knows
Where the money comes from, diamonds and pearls
There ain't that many uncles in the world
Momma I love you, but I'm never gonna be that girl
I've gotta fight for my soul, for my soul
I've gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more
Fight for my soul, for my soul
I've gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more
He was just a young boy stumbling on his daddy's deck
He took the top off a bottle and he tipped it back
Now through the looking glass, looking back twenty plus years
He took one look and said "I ain't going out like this"
Not like my daddy did
I've gotta fight for my soul, for my soul
Gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more
Fight for my soul, for my soul
I've gotta fight for my soul, cause I don't wanna give it away no more
I'm still the one that was left with the price to pay
But they make good on mistakes they never made
For the one that just found out we will never take control
They can take alot, but they can never take your soul
Selling drugs and her body for what little she had
Doing just like her momma and her granny had done
She gonna teach her baby daughter who she will become
And it's begun
Starting all over again
Another day another dollar and the baby grows, she does
Momma keepin' secrets but baby, she already knows
Where the money comes from, diamonds and pearls
There ain't that many uncles in the world
Momma I love you, but I'm never gonna be that girl
I've gotta fight for my soul, for my soul
I've gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more
Fight for my soul, for my soul
I've gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more
He was just a young boy stumbling on his daddy's deck
He took the top off a bottle and he tipped it back
Now through the looking glass, looking back twenty plus years
He took one look and said "I ain't going out like this"
Not like my daddy did
I've gotta fight for my soul, for my soul
Gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more
Fight for my soul, for my soul
I've gotta fight for my soul, cause I don't wanna give it away no more
I'm still the one that was left with the price to pay
But they make good on mistakes they never made
For the one that just found out we will never take control
They can take alot, but they can never take your soul
