Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'mma fight 'til the day that I die
Swear to God that I'll put that on my life and
I'mma try my best to love forever, to enlighten
I'm a spaz, baby, I'm a knight and
I'm a Glock take off in flight and
If you wanna stop me
If I leave, I'm not leaving in silence
You won't see me crying
You gon' see the fire in my eyes
If I go, I'mma start a riot
I'm fighting for my life, yeah
I'mma give y'all everything tonight
If I leave
Fist up 'til I stop breathing
Fist up 'til I stop wheezing
Haters gon' forever hate me for no fuckin' reason
I'm speeding, I'mma keep trying
I'm going, I'mma keep riding
Even though life tries to hurt me every time
If I leave, I'm not leaving in silence
You won't see me crying
You gon' see the fire in my eyes
If I go, I'mma start a riot
I'm fighting for my life, yeah
I'mma give y'all all of me tonight
If I leave
Yea! Ayo!
