Fighting Myself War Cry by The Thought Lyrics
[Chorus: Both]
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(Feels like I'm fighting myself)
It's looking like I need some help
(It's looking like I need some help)
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(I been deciding myself)
[Verse: The Thought]
Hey, that's my foot! I'mma shoot it!
You're not wrong to think me stupid
I know I could overdo it
You're not wrong to hate my rudeness
That's my beat! I'mma kill it!
You're not wrong to call me villain
Know I can press your feelings
You're not wrong to want me chilling
But I'm in my head, I got my nerves
Don't jump to conclusions because of my words
I know that seems stupid, and maybe it is
But kid got his trauma and life is a blur
'Cause I've been a mess, I have been hurt
Stop judging my rudeness and ask where it's learnt
I know I seem useless, and maybe I am
But man out here soulless and still tryna search!
[Refrain: Marcus Lee]
This is something like my war cry!
War Cry! And I can't give up now!
[Verse: The Thought]
The thoughts have been twisted since I was a child
My Mom was oblivious, with a smile
Dangled the carrot and angled the file
The Thought was sadistic, but it's been a while
My Mom was oblivious, with a smile
Pops was the devil incarnate, I swear it
The end of the marriage ended the mild
So I'm tryna grow, make a life of my own
But my demons intrinsic, my genes they call home
Watching my tone and I'm doing my thing
I'm learning to sing! I've yet to atone!
Fighting myself but I'm bruised to the bone
I still haven't learned how to rap off the dome
Ain't here for the throne, here for the healing
Yo, how you feeling? Let it be known
[Refrain: Marcus Lee]
This is something like my war cry!
War Cry, ay! And I just can't give up right now!
[Chorus: Both]
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(Feels like I'm fighting myself)
It's looking like I need some help
(It's looking like I need some help)
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(I been deciding myself)
I need help, I need help, I need...
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
To strike like lightning
I been tryna grab a hold of the fight in me
I been tryna grab a hold of the light in me
Got my dukes up and as far as the eye can see
There's no ending to strife that's inside of me, I just bleed
Sitting in my corner tryna see
Tryna strategize a way to see victory
But I'm in my way always and it gets to me
So I'm tryna stick and move, my G, that's just been getting me
Beat up, beaten down, trying to kick my feet up
I see the ground, how long I have I been down here?
I don't know, but I cannot stay down here
If I'm hoping to see the crown
Counting down, got to last a round here
'Cause 'round here, no quitters can be found here
No quitters can be found here
Would you look at what I found here?
[Refrain: Marcus Lee]
This is something like my war cry!
War Cry! And I can't give up now!
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
I cannot, I cannot give up, this fight is eternal
And I cannot wither, this light is infernal
So I'll remain winner when I cannot get up
My sight is unbothered, 'cause fight remains with them
You ducking this left, and this right finna get ya
I told you that I have decided on striking and lightning
And so it is you guys I'm killing
Control your breathing, yeah
You are way more than you're seeing, yeah?
Got to take more control of feelings, yeah
Got to center your soul and your being, yeah
Console, and you're free and then nothing can you stop now
No opposition can knock you down
It's time to layeth the smacketh down
Your problems is done cuz you smacking clowns
You can be happy now!
[Refrain: Marcus Lee]
This is something like my war cry!
War Cry, yeah! And I just can't give up right now!
[Chorus: Both]
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(Feels like I'm fighting myself)
It's looking like I need some help
(It's looking like I need some help)
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(I been deciding myself)
DayLee Thoughts, huh!
[Verse: The Thought]
Whoever bleeds, I'm always losing
Have fun with my green, it made me stupid
I run for the team, mansions or ruins
I'm hoping to lead, but not with pursuing
Always keep track of the shit that I'm doing
Don't start to chat until I've finished chewing
Make sure my back I've been carefully viewing before...
[Refrain: Marcus Lee]
This is something like my war cry!
War Cry, yeah! And I just can't give up right now!
[Outro: The Thought]
This is something like my war cry, war cry, war cry!
I'm so sick of fighting myself, yeah
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(Feels like I'm fighting myself)
It's looking like I need some help
(It's looking like I need some help)
I feel like I'm fighting myself
(I been deciding myself)
[Verse: The Thought]
