Fight For You
Fight For You Lyrics
[Intro]
Woah, woah
Yeah, yeah, oh, no
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah, ah-ha, ah-ha
[Verse 1]
All the smoke in the air
Feel the hate when they stare
All the pain that we bear
Oh, you better beware
Their guns don't play fair
All we got is a prayer
It was all in their plans
Wash the blood from your hands
[Pre-Chorus]
Freedom for my brothers
Freedom 'cause they judge us
Freedom from the others
Freedom from the leaders, they keepin' us
Freedom gon' keep us strong
Freedom if you just hold on
Freedom ain't free at all, oh no
[Chorus]
I'm gon' see it through
There's no one, there's no one like you
Long as I'm standing, we can never losе (Uh)
I'ma always, always fight for you
I'ma always, always fight for you
Woah, woah
Yeah, yeah, oh, no
Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah, ah-ha, ah-ha
[Verse 1]
All the smoke in the air
Feel the hate when they stare
All the pain that we bear
Oh, you better beware
Their guns don't play fair
All we got is a prayer
It was all in their plans
Wash the blood from your hands
[Pre-Chorus]
Freedom for my brothers
Freedom 'cause they judge us
Freedom from the others
Freedom from the leaders, they keepin' us
Freedom gon' keep us strong
Freedom if you just hold on
Freedom ain't free at all, oh no
[Chorus]
I'm gon' see it through
There's no one, there's no one like you

[Verse 2]
Mental institution causing so much confusion
Seems the only solution is a new еvolution
We can't take it no more
No, it can't be ignored
When they knock on your door, will you be ready for war?
[Pre-Chorus]
Freedom 'cause they need us (Freedom 'cause they need us)
Free from how they see us (Oh, oh)
Freedom, won't you free us? (Free us)
Freedom doesn't hang from the trees
Freedom from injustice (Injustice)
Freedom from corruption (Corruption)
They aiming for destruction
[Chorus]
And you know, they gon' see it through (Yeah, yeah)
There's no one, there's no one like you (Like you)
Long as I'm standing, we can never lose (Uh)
I'ma always (Always), always fight for you (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm always fight for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh
