| 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 |
