FIGHTERS
Lupe Fiasco³Åå·ÆÑÇ˹¿Æ Lyrics

When the fighters all around
Amidst the chaos and struggle around us

All the lovers are on the ground
Those driven by hope and compassion are suffering too

No one will save you anymore
We're all in this together, there's no one person who can solve everything

So whats happenin, whachu you rappin about
What's on your mind, what message are you trying to convey through your music?

Lets see boy
Tell me more, give me the details

Is it cars, is it girls
Is it materialistic things, superficial desires?

Is it money
Are you chasing after wealth above all else?

The world
Is it something that reflects the state of the world around you?

Or is it somethin they could never believe
Is it something unconventional or radical that others may not understand or accept?

Or is it somethin you could never achieve
Is it beyond your reach, a lofty goal that may seem impossible?

Is it beyond your means, is it inside your dreams
Is it something that is out of your capacity, but exists only in your imagination?

Can it never come out cause its scared to, unprepared to
Is it something that you're afraid to express, or perhaps you don't feel ready?

To worry about the words of the people is weird too
Being overly concerned with the opinions of others is strange as well

You don't want em to hear you
You may not want to be vulnerable or expose your true feelings to others

You just wish it was a door that would appear
You may wish for a way to escape or hide from the pressures around you

That you can go disappear through
A way to disappear or recede from society momentarily

Well I'm feelin your pain, I was feelin the same
I can relate to your struggles and difficulties, I've experienced similar emotions

Man, I really miss my pops
I'm reflecting on my father who has passed away

Hope that god watches over him and that hes on top
I hope that my father is at peace and looked over by a higher power

That there is no more disease and that he's alright
I wish my father didn't have to suffer from any illnesses, and that he's doing well

That hes one of the generals inside the army of the light
I envision my father as being part of a collective force of good in the afterlife

And grandma, you know I had to bite somethin from ya
I inherited certain traits and qualities from my grandmother

So after every show its peace, and much love to ya
I want to express my gratitude and affection for my grandmother after each performance

Auntie tweetys on the way please look out for that girl
I want to ensure the safety and well-being of a family member

I know we'll meet again so it's never me against the world
I'm confident that I'll reunite with my loved ones again someday, and I won't have to face everything alone

I hope that god forgive us all of us sinners
I ask for forgiveness from a higher power for our wrongdoings

Turn us back into beginners put us up where the winners go
Restart us from a state of innocence, and put us where the successful people are

Holy apartments in the gardens in which the rivers flow
I visualize a pure, idyllic setting for us to occupy in the afterlife

Thank you for all your blessins and all of your miracles
Expressing gratitude for the good things in our lives

I thank all my fans and all my supports
Acknowledging the people who've supported us throughout our journey

Shout out to bishop g congrats on ya new baby daughter
Extending congratulations to someone for a happy event in their life

I tip my hat to all my family and friends
Showing appreciation to those closest to us

Now we just got one more to go l-u-p-END
The song is wrapping up, with a nod to the artist's name as well
