Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And it, and it begins
He walks outside for a cigarette break
And thinks how many cigarettes does it take?
He takes a long drag
With the sun in his eye
[Verse 2]
He squints, he thinks
He starts to sigh
Sometimes he cry
When he think about his
Girlfriend on his side
She held him down
She made him better
Fought for love
Through fucked up weather
[Verse 3]
And she thinking about her life
With no more work, just being a wife
But instead her love
She gave it to a man
Who fought against her lovely plans
[Verse 4]
So when she go to work
Plus go to school
Plus fight for love
She must feel like a fool
She want the ease
That come after pain
She fights for love
That's her campaign
We fight, we love
[Verse 5]
We fight and love so much
Sometimes I get confused
Of who we are
Maybe if we just stop and chat
And then we'll find out who we are
[Verse 6]
We fight and love so much
Sometimes I get confused
Of who we are
Maybe if we just stop and chat
And then we'll find out who we are
[Verse 7]
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit more
[Verse 8]
We just keep on
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit more
[Verse 9]
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit more
[Verse 10]
We just keep on
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit more
[Verse 11]
And it, uh, yeah
And it, and it begins
He's off the ball
He left his friends
He ain't home no more
He's in a place
That's far away
Where he can't understand
What they say
[Verse 12]
They say salaam
They carry bombs
Into crowded places
And cause alarm
You're the infidel
Who's uninvited
But really an American boy
Who's slighted
[Verse 13]
It ain't your fault
You want identity
So you join this big fraternity
You get to travel the world
It's cheaper than college
And you get guns
And you get knowledge
[Verse 14]
Looking for your soul
And WMD's
You can't find nothing
'Cause it's empty
You got your gun
And he's your friend
He's your man
Until the end
We fight, we love
[Verse 15]
We fight and love so much
Sometimes I get confused
Of who we are
Maybe if we just stop and chat
And then we'll find out who we are
[Verse 16]
We fight and love so much
Sometimes I get confused
Of who we are
Maybe if we just stop and chat
And then we'll find out who we are
[Verse 17]
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit more
[Verse 18]
We just keep on
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit more
[Verse 19]
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit more
[Verse 20]
We just keep on
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit
Fighting just a little bit
Loving just a little bit more...
