I was having a bad day when the lightning struck

I never wished for you to hear my dying words

The words clung to my life like a flock of crows

on a tree that was stripped from all the life in the world

I had to fight

Pulled the trigger of the gun I was holding

Didn't even know where it came from

Woke up in a dream looked down and there it was

in my hand smoking with a full clip and all

In any case I took the shot with the thought

of having to strike first in order to survive

No consequences to my murderous actions

We're in a world where nothing really matters

I fought for my life my head distraught

One down two down and another one down

Doesn't even matter how bloody my hands are

I'm gonna wake soon anytime now

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight I was petrified

To all the pain and the troubles I said goodbye

Taking on the flow of time and the universe

It never took long til I made my mind

They thought I was just a pawn in the war

Never wanted to become another brick in the wall

Looked down at the earthly creation as I

towered over the world as I stood tall

It takes a toll being an artist like me

Living fast dying young dodging trouble I see

Hasn't been a year since the grand entrance my real

enemies can't imitate or do it like me

Cool it down, gee why's every body

Such a complicated mess

I need no IDÂ

I roll up to your number one rapper's party

And start a riot music to my ears when I sing

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight

I had to fight
