What we fighting?

I don't know what

What we fighting?
4 3 2 1
Clap your hands, everybody
Don't act like you never saw me
Just clap your hands, everybody
Everybody, clap your hands
Clap your hands, everybody
Don't act like you never saw me
Just clap your hands, everybody
And everybody, clap your hands
OK
You say hello
I say goodbye
Don't leave me high
Or post to dry
Feels so good
When you're by my side
Check like Johnny Depp
Playing the role of a fly guy
Whatever
I thought together
We're tougher than leather
And never
Fall for the pleasure
Under pressure
But it seems
All that glitters is gold
Maybe you sold your soul
For the golden goose
But the truth is
Long as I keep rhyming
Eyes keep shining
Soul stays divine
I remember
'96, we used to dance
I had two pairs of pants
But you had that glance, yo
Used to hang out
In the park and just chill
Now we sweep swords
In the dark and act ill
Doesn't really matter
I've got to go
Peace to maestros
That rock for sho'
We did it
4 3 2 1
What we fighting?
4 3 2 1
I don't know what
4 3 2 1
What we fighting?
4 3 2 1
I don't know what for
Guess who's back
That never left at all?
With the brand new pencil
And a crystal ball
Let it fall
Summertime
Break down the wall
You can't give what
You haven't conceived at all
It's the truth, foolproof
But fools need proof
So I slide to the side
And I act uncouth
But it's just an act
"Cause I might react
To those who never
Held a mic that fed back
Listen
It's just a day in the life
Of a man living in the dark
One headlight
Wake up to Dylan
The village makes the villain
I write raps while I watch
Myself on the ceiling
4 3 2 1
It's a countdown
I roll like a laser beam
Through the downtown
Its mind over matter
Maintain the globe
Peace to Metric
LJ, oh

I don't know what for

What for, what for

Clap your hands, everybody

Just clap your hands, everybody
Everybody, clap your hands
Clap your hands, everybody
Don't act like you never saw me
Just clap your hands, everybody
Everybody, clap your hands

Inspected or regarded like Johnny Depp
Playing the role of a fly guy
Acting as a charming and stylish man
Whatever
I don't care or it doesn't matter
I thought together
I believed we were united
We're tougher than leather
We're incredibly strong and resilient
And never
And always
Fall for the pleasure
Yield to the temptation or enjoyment
Under pressure
In a stressful situation
But it seems
However, it appears
All that glitters is gold
Things that seem attractive may not be valuable
Maybe you sold your soul
Perhaps you compromised your beliefs or morals for gain
For the golden goose
In pursuit of wealth or success
But the truth is
However, the reality is
Long as I keep rhyming
As long as I continue to rap
Eyes keep shining
My eyes remain bright and lively
Soul stays divine
My spirit remains pure and righteous
I remember
I recall
'96, we used to dance
In 1996, we used to dance together
I had two pairs of pants
I owned two sets of trousers
But you had that glance, yo
But you had that captivating look
Used to hang out
We used to spend time together
In the park and just chill
Relaxing and enjoying each other's company in the park
Now we sweep swords
Now we engage in conflict or competition
In the dark and act ill
In secretive or malicious ways
Doesn't really matter
It's not of great importance
I've got to go
I need to leave
Peace to maestros
Greetings to the skilled artists
That rock for sho'
Who definitely excel in their craft
We did it
We accomplished it together
Guess who's back
Can you figure out who has returned?
That never left at all?
Who was always present?
With the brand new pencil
Bringing something new and creative
And a crystal ball
Having foresight and intuitive vision
Let it fall
Allow it to happen or come to pass
Summertime
The season of summer
Break down the wall
Overcome obstacles or barriers
You can't give what
You cannot provide or offer
You haven't conceived at all
You haven't thought or imagined yet
It's the truth, foolproof
It's the undeniable truth, completely reliable
But fools need proof
However, foolish people require evidence
So I slide to the side
So I move away or distance myself
And I act uncouth
And I behave rudely or inappropriately
But it's just an act
However, it's merely a performance
"Cause I might react
Because I may respond or retaliate
To those who never
To those who have never
Held a mic that fed back
Had a microphone that produced feedback
Listen
Pay attention and hear me
It's just a day in the life
It's just an ordinary day
Of a man living in the dark
Of a person experiencing difficulties or challenges
One headlight
A single light illuminating the way
Wake up to Dylan
Start the day listening to Bob Dylan
The village makes the villain
The community creates the perception of wrongdoing
I write raps while I watch
I compose lyrics as I observe
Myself on the ceiling
My reflection on the ceiling
4 3 2 1
Counting down to something important
It's a countdown
It's a time-based progression
I roll like a laser beam
I move swiftly and with precision
Through the downtown
Through the main area of the city
Its mind over matter
It's about mental strength triumphing over physical challenges
Maintain the globe
Preserve the world or society
Peace to Metric
Greetings to the musical group Metric
LJ, oh
Acknowledging someone named LJ
What for, what for
For what reason, for what purpose
What for, what for
For what reason, for what purpose
What for
For what reason
Clap your hands, everybody
Everybody should applaud and show support
Don't act like you never saw me
Don't pretend like you don't know who I am
Just clap your hands, everybody
Simply join in and participate in clapping
Everybody, clap your hands
Everyone should applaud together
Clap your hands, everybody
Everybody should applaud and show support
Don't act like you never saw me
Don't pretend like you don't know who I am
Just clap your hands, everybody
Simply join in and participate in clapping
Everybody, clap your hands
