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
