Fight Music
KJ-52 Lyrics

As if it's possible to boil personhood
Treating human identity as simple and reducible as colors or regions

To simply colors and regions
Reducing people to their race or ethnicity alone

Like what justice sum total of
Regarding justice as the combination of our physical makeup and circumstances

Our molecules and happen stances
Our individual composition and life experiences

No like how you deal with this
How do you cope with the challenges

When you a child of a black militant
Being raised by a parent who strongly advocates for black rights

Whose entire network of friends and
Whose entire circle of friends and acquaintances

Family only spoke Spanish
And family members only spoke Spanish

They like me forget about the
They don't consider my race

Color I might be
The color of my skin

It's likely they just like me
They appreciate me for who I am

We different but the same we covered
We are different from each other, yet we share a commonality

By the blood of the King
Through our shared faith in Jesus Christ

I don't do black music I
I don't limit myself to creating music for a specific race

Don't do white music
Nor do I confine my music to a particular race

I do fight music unified in Christ music
I create music that promotes unity in Christ and addresses struggles

Let's get right to it hear
Let's dive right into the message and meaning

The music write to it
Express the message through the music

From the context of a black
From the perspective of a black individual

Kid fighting through it
A young person facing and overcoming challenges

Some folks said it was worldly
Some people criticized it as being too secular

It was too good
Some thought it was of high quality

Some folks was scared of it it was too hood
Others were afraid of it because it had urban influences

So I took it to the
So I brought the music to

Places who would embrace it
Communities that would welcome and appreciate it

And sometimes believe it or not
And surprisingly, whether you believe it or not

It was white faces
Many white individuals were among the supporters

Am I a sellout assimilating
Am I betraying my identity by adapting to different cultures

What's in my head
What I believe and think

No I am Cyclops homie cause all I see is red
No, I'm like Cyclops from X-Men because I see people covered in the blood of Christ

People covered in the blood are my fam
People who are saved by Christ's sacrifice are my family

And we don't just relate we
And our connection is not just superficial

All related through the Lamb
We are all connected through our faith in Jesus

My family tree is a lower case t
My family lineage is represented by a lowercase 't' (cross)

And we are all the same cause
And we are all equal because

You need him like me
We all need Jesus

We different but the same and it's likely
We are distinct yet share similarities, and it's probable

They just like me that's probably
They probably appreciate me because they can relate

Why they like me (they like me)
That's why they appreciate me (they appreciate me)

So God Psalm 139 see the beautiful fact
Through Psalm 139, God sees the wonderful truth

That we all wonderfully and fearfully
That each person is uniquely and beautifully made

I got blue eyes light skin
I have blue eyes and fair skin

And some black curls
And curly black hair

Grew up the white kid in a black world
I was raised as a white person in a predominantly black community

When ya live and ya different
When you live and you are different

Well the facts hurt moved to the burbs and I
The reality of not fitting in was painful, so I moved to the suburbs and

Don't fit in that's worse
Where I also don't belong, which is even more difficult

I'm just a nerd getting chased
I'm an outcast being pursued

Home on my bike
Heading home on my bicycle

After school fight lay in my bed cry at night
After fighting at school, I would lay in bed and cry at night

Hate the fact that my status
I despised the fact that my social standing

Read poor and white
Was seen as being both poor and white

And all the rappers I idolize tell
And the rappers I looked up to told

Me that I'm never right
Me that I'm always wrong or inadequate

Now my skin is light and I ain't fitting in
Now that my skin is lighter, I still don't belong

I'm on the outside of hip
I'm an outsider within the hip-hop community

Hop screaming let me in
Desperately pleading to be accepted

I'm hooked up with sin hate
Feeling trapped in sin, despising

The very skin I'm in
The very skin I inhabit

Cause every time I rhyme they
Because whenever I rap, they

Like 'look it's Eminem'
Claim that I'm imitating Eminem

Looking back again I's in the worst place
Reflecting on the past, I was in a terrible situation

All I had was beastie boys and third bass
My only sources of inspiration were the Beastie Boys and Third Bass

I'm the dude who always come
I'm the guy who constantly

Down in 3rd place until I heard the story of
Finishing third until I discovered the narrative of

Your Life and Your Grace
Jesus' life and His saving grace

And let me make this clearer
And allow me to clarify this

You was looking at a mirror
You were looking at a reflection

Reflection of our creator's image
A reflection of the image of our creator

Image barers
Carriers of the same image

Bare with me, bare each others burdens
Support and help each other with our troubles

Till we barely feel the weight
Until the weight becomes almost non-existent

It's so light most likely you'll
It's so light that you will most likely

Say he's just like me
Realize that he is just like you

How boring would a painting be
A painting would be dull and uninteresting

With no tone or color distinctions
If it lacked variation in tones and colors

Are differences stance together
Our differences stand side by side

Creating sympathies of tapestries
Forming a beautiful tapestry of understanding

Beautiful color master-pieces
Masterpieces of diverse colors

In 1080p we all love High-Def
In clear high-definition, we appreciate diversity

You just like me
You are just like me

So rather just pointing out the obvious
Instead of stating the obvious

Say to yourself
Tell yourself
