Fighting
AJ Tracey Lyrics

I went three steps backward, but then I came through four
Despite taking a setback and going backwards in life, I pushed through adversity and came out even stronger

Man's never brought jakes to my mum's door
The police have never come knocking on my mother's door due to my actions

Man's tryna put P's in my mum's purse
People are attempting to financially benefit off of my success and provide for my family

Man's tryna mash P's off of one verse
Individuals are trying to make quick money off of one successful song

I was doing McD's with the footwork
Before becoming a successful rapper, I worked at McDonald's and improved my rapping skills in my free time

Never been an athlete, man ah just burst
I've never been a traditional athlete, but I burst onto the grime music scene with success

Then I never had P's, I was all cursed
I grew up in poverty and didn't have much financial success

Brothers in the cat B feeling all hurt
People who are in prison category B (high escape risk) are feeling hurt or betrayed by my success

Now I spit bars at raves and man pull it
I perform my music at parties or events and the crowd loves it

Everything they wanted to do, now I do it
People who doubted me or wanted to be in my position are now envious of my success

Everything you say in your bars, I went through it
The difficult experiences or struggles that other rappers talk about in their music, I have personally experienced as well

I was tryna kick the shots like Ruud Gullit
I was attempting to be successful in my goals like a famous soccer player, Ruud Gullit

I'm doing Outlook, soon I'll do Glaston
I've performed at the Outlook music festival and plan to perform at the Glastonbury Festival in the future

Grime heads running around cause I gassed 'em
Fans of grime music are excited and passionate after hearing my music

Bruddas want a lyrical war and I'll blast 'em
People who want to engage in a lyrical competition or battle will be dominated by my superior skills

No Golf for boy, I want an Aston
I want to buy an Aston Martin instead of a Volkswagen Golf

Who are these actor guys? I wanna cast them
I want to recruit and assemble a group of talented and authentic individuals for my music career

All the pengers on road, I'm gonna catch them
I will achieve success and surpass all of my competition no matter how successful they currently are

All the haters calling my name, I'm gonna bax 'em
I will confront and defeat all of my critics and negative individuals who try to bring me down

Man hear my bars and they runway
People quickly flee or run away after hearing my impressive music

You want a verse? Then you better bring 1K
In order to collaborate with me on a song, you must pay me 1,000 pounds

I do grime, 'cause, I don't do funkay
I prefer to create and perform grime music instead of music with a funk sound

Run through the clubs and spend about a monkey
I frequently visit clubs and spend about 500 pounds when I'm there

Gyal hear my bars and they're gassed
Women are excited and enthusiastic after hearing my music

If you want a feature, bring me them racks
If you want me to collaborate with you on a song, you must compensate me generously

I was in West putting work on the map
I was working hard and making a name for myself in West London

Now I'm tryna build a life, put in work on the tracks
Now, I'm attempting to build a stable and successful career with my music

They wanna knock man down but I'm still right here and I'm fighting
People are trying to bring me down, but I am resilient and determined to continue succeeding

Full belly, and I keep coming back strong like a viking
I am fully satisfied and content with my successes and continuously come back stronger like a Viking warrior

I done spent time in the mountains, man's been hiking
I have spent time in difficult or challenging situations that have helped me develop and grow as a person and artist

They just wanna see man fall but I'm still here fighting
People are envious and want to see me fail, but I continue to fight and persevere

Man's been riding, something like a ride-on
I have been continuously striving and working hard towards my goals

I'm not any side dish you could ride on
I am not someone who can be easily used or taken advantage of for personal gain

Think that you're really on job? You could try, don
If you think you have what it takes to compete or work with me, give it a try

Maniac, that's my don
Maniac is my close associate or friend

Low grass round me, watch for the python
I am cautious and aware of potential threats or danger in my surroundings

I'll never let a bygone be a bygone
I will never forget or overlook past events or grievances

You bruddas need a PC you can type on
The individuals who criticize or oppose me need to find something better to do with their time, like use a computer

I need GBP by the mountain
I need a large amount of money to continue my successful lifestyle and career

Marble floors, palm trees and a fountain
I want to live a luxurious and lavish lifestyle

You ain't gonna scare no one 'cah you're shouting
Your attempts to intimidate or frighten others are not working because you are only yelling

Everyone that sleep on man, keep doubting
Individuals who underestimate me or don't appreciate my talent should continue to do so

I'm gonna do this, man's gonna prove it
I am determined to prove my abilities and succeed

I never touched it if I can't move it
I do not engage in illegal or unethical practices if it does not benefit or further me or my career

Common sense don 'cah these bruddas don't use it
Other individuals lack common sense and do not use it in their decision-making

If I hear another missed drop, I'mma lose it
If I hear another mistake or missed opportunity, I will be extremely frustrated and upset
