Since she was a young girl, bought the wrong side of the tracks |
|
Selling drugs and her body for what little she had |
|
Doing just like her momma and her granny had done |
|
She gonna teach her baby daughter who she will become |
|
And it's begun |
|
Starting all over again |
|
Another day another dollar and the baby grows, she does |
|
Momma keepin' secrets but baby, she already knows |
|
Where the money comes from, diamonds and pearls |
|
There ain't that many uncles in the world |
|
Momma I love you, but I'm never gonna be that girl |
|
I've gotta fight for my soul, for my soul |
|
I've gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more |
|
Fight for my soul, for my soul |
|
I've gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more |
|
He was just a young boy stumbling on his daddy's deck |
|
He took the top off a bottle and he tipped it back |
|
Now through the looking glass, looking back twenty plus years |
|
He took one look and said "I ain't going out like this" |
|
Not like my daddy did |
|
I've gotta fight for my soul, for my soul |
|
Gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more |
|
Fight for my soul, for my soul |
|
I've gotta fight for my soul, cause I don't wanna give it away no more |
|
I'm still the one that was left with the price to pay |
|
But they make good on mistakes they never made |
|
For the one that just found out we will never take control |
|
They can take alot, but they can never take your soul |
