Fighter
Saba feat. Kaïna Lyrics

Me and Egot just far 'cause his family wouldn't stop talking
Me and my neighbor Egot had a fight because his family wouldn't stop talking and it became irritating for me.

We neighbours who argued often
Me and Egot were neighbors who used to argue over different issues frequency.

I ran out jogging
I went out for jogging to get fresh air after our argument.

I tossed a jab and I caught him
During our fight, I quickly threw a quick punch which landed on Egot.

He threw a left ain't connect 'cause I ducked when I came back up
Egot tried to punch me back with his left hand, but I quickly dodged his punch.

I seen his sister talking trash like "touch my brother, I'm beating yo' ass"
I noticed that Egot's sister was trash-talking me and threatened to attack me if I touched her brother.

So I fucked her brother up to see what she about, yeah
As a response to her threat, I fought Egot to see what she's going to do.

Walked away and then we noticed that his teeth was out, yeah
After the fight, I walked away and realized that I knocked out Egot's teeth.

She ain't do shit she just mad we got to see him pout
Egot's sister got angry that her brother lost the fight and didn't take any action to stop us.

So me and Cell we just fought
I got into another fight with my friend Cell.

I was walking and then he jumped me
While I was walking, Cell attacked me from the back without any warning.

I dropped to the floor while calling for help
I fell on the floor and screamed for help while Cell was still hitting me.

In front of my grandmother's house
The fight took place in front of my grandmother's house.

The next thing he punched me; my mouth
Cell punched me in the mouth, and it hurt a lot.

I can't believe I'm on the ground
I couldn't believe that I was lying on the ground and being beaten up by my friend.

'Cause I tried to hit him I gambled
I tried to hit Cell to defend myself, but it didn't work out.

I'm ugly; crying in public
I was in tears and crying in public after Cell beat me up badly.

I'm like "When I get you back you gon' wish that you never touched me"
After the fight, I made a vow that I'll take revenge and make Cell regret attacking me.

Somehow I could never touch him
Despite my vow, I never had another chance to fight Cell and take revenge.

Our brothers broke this shit up
Our siblings intervened and stopped the fight to prevent further damage.

And I walked the rest of the day with my head down
After the fight, I felt ashamed and walked around with my head down in embarrassment.

Funny how getting your ass beat is spread 'round
It's funny how people love to spread rumors and gossip about someone getting beaten up.

But I don't wanna fight no more
I don't want to fight anymore as I'm not a fighter.

'Cause I'm not a fighter
I don't like to fight a lot and try to avoid it whenever possible.

I want no more
I don't want to engage in any more fights as they always end up causing pain and embarrassment.

So Me and Egot we scrap again
Me and Egot had another fight again.

Jacob jumped in: I'm handicapped
Jacob jumped in our fight, even though he was handicapped.

Manny watched from across the street
Manny was standing across the street and watching us fight.

Then he ran up and hopped on me
Manny suddenly jumped in our fight and started attacking me.

3 on 1, they teaming up
I was outnumbered three to one, and they were ganging up on me.

But me I never think to run
Despite being outnumbered and overpowered, I didn't think of running away from the fight.

They circling around
They were circling around me and attacking me from all directions.

Got me surrounded like police or some'in
The attackers surrounded me like a group of police officers.

So it's bad enough they already jumpin' me
It was already bad enough that they were attacking me mercilessly.

Then I see Cell comin', I'm praying "Please don't fuck with me"
When I saw Cell coming, I was praying he doesn't join the attackers and attack me too.

It's not fair and I think he agrees so instead of fighting with them
Cell realized that the attack was unfair and bad, so he joined my side and didn't fight with them.

He came and teamed up with me
Instead of fighting against me, Cell came and teamed up with me against the attackers.

Me and Grandpa ain't talked since I stopped attending the college
I haven't talked to my grandfather since I stopped attending college.

He called me said I'm a scholar
My grandfather called me and told me that I'm a scholar and should have continued with my studies.

I should be getting my doctorate
He said that I should have applied for a Ph.D., given my academic skills and knowledge.

Or shit at least in the army
He said that I should have joined the army and served my country instead of wasting my time.

Instead you chose to Hip Hop
Instead of following his advice, I chose to pursue hip hop music.

But I know how this is gon' end 'cause I went through this with yo' father
My grandfather was disappointed with my choices but realized that he had similar problems with my father before.

Me and my girl just fought 'cause I talked before she could talk
I had a fight with my girlfriend because I interrupted her while she was speaking.

She was telling a story I cut her off with some shit not 'bout the same topic
She was telling me a story, but I interrupted her with something not related to the same topic.

So she just stopped in the middle before the plot
She stopped telling the story in the middle, and I didn't even realize it.

Hit the rest of the car ride silent like
The rest of the car ride felt silent and awkward after our fight and interruption.

"You always do this like you don't value my thoughts
My girlfriend pointed out that I always interrupt her and don't value her thoughts and opinions.

Either that or you too damn stupid to realize
She said this behavior indicated either my disrespect towards her or my lack of intelligence to understand things.

That if you don't hear me out then I'ma feel muted
She warned me that if I don't listen to her and interrupt her like this, she'll start to feel muted and devalued.

You say that you care well show it, I'm not asking a lot
She asked me to prove that I care for her by listening to her without interrupting, which shouldn't be too difficult.

I know that you think you listening but you just waiting to talk"
She said that although I always think that I'm listening to her, in reality, I'm just waiting for my turn to talk.

My fault
I accepted that I was wrong and apologized for interrupting her and ruining the story.

It's harder to love myself when all these people compliment me
I find it challenging to love myself when people keep complimenting me and attributing me to things which are not necessarily true.

Somehow it just reminds me what I don't got
These compliments tend to remind me of the things I don't have, and it makes me feel inadequate.

But these folks don't care to know, they think you rollin' in the dough
These people don't care to know the truth and assume that I'm rich and successful just because they see me on the surface.

Not realizin' your next meal if a .444
They don't realize that the next meal I'll have might be barely enough for survival, and I'm not necessarily doing great financially.

Still feeling the guilt that walk, never thought to call
I still feel guilty about things that happened in the past, such as not calling someone, and it keeps haunting me.

Fighting myself to get out of bed
Sometimes, I find it hard to motivate myself and get out of bed, and it feels like a constant battle with myself to overcome that feeling.

I'm fighting myself to get out of bed
I struggle with my motivation to get up from bed every day, and it feels like an ongoing battle.

But I don't wanna fight no more
I don't want to engage in further fights and conflicts, and I want to move on with my life peacefully.

'Cause I'm not a fighter
I'm usually not a violent person and seek peace rather than conflict.

I want no more
I don't want to have any more fights, and I want to resolve conflicts in a more peaceful and nonviolent way.

Me and all my niggas dropped out
Me and all my friends dropped out of school at the same time.

Then we drove to Texas, left that waffle house
After we dropped out, we drove to Texas and left a Waffle House behind.

Keep that in the hotel, we on road
We kept our stuff in a hotel as we were on the move frequently.

We don't got no mattress, sleep on your floor
We didn't have any mattresses, so we slept on the floor wherever we could find space.

Made sure on my first tour, stop at his house
During my first music tour, I made sure to stop and visit my grandfather's house.

He tell me that he's proud, of his boy
He told me that he's proud of me and what I've achieved as his boy.

I'm not daddy's little boy, homie square
Despite what my grandfather thinks, I don't consider myself a little boy, and I stand up for myself as a grown man, homie.

Saved up for a round trip, LAX
I saved enough money for a roundtrip to Los Angeles airport.

I just learned there's no risk no reward
I learned that in life, you can't achieve anything great without taking risks.

I slept on the floor at Port Arthur
In one of my trips, I had to sleep on the floor in Port Arthur due to a lack of accommodation.

Me and all my niggas dropped tears
Me and my friends got emotional and cried together when we faced difficult experiences and shared our struggles.

I been on the floor for a whole year
I had slept on the floor for an entire year due to a lack of resources and affordable accommodation.

We all broke
All of us were broke and struggling financially at the time depicted in the lyrics.
