You fight the right fight
Praying to God the world won’t bite
You in the *** and send
You running back home.

I fight the right fight
Knowing the people will sight
My weaknesses and exploit
It to their own ends.

We both fight for the rights
Of others in our minds, but the truth blights
The efforts of our actions like a cancer
Destroys our plight from within.

So you go back to your God who
Fails to answer your calls so you are through
With the lies and find power in
You, the person, and transcend.

So I go home to my dogs who
Stare at me saying we told you so
Come back down here with the rims and the hoes
But I say no, and transcend.

We both are the ones who transcend,
Hoping the violence, the hate, and the hunger will end,
Now knowing we are the souls of the popular trend,
To transcend.
