The War Within

Lyrics

[Intro: Kid Fade] Yeah, yeah! They say that life is pain. And pain is the struggle. But the struggle lives on. Feel me? Yeah! [Verse 1: Kid Fade] Y'all thought that I was cursed at birth, y'all better stay warned With a black cloud over my head, call it a brainstorm And my troubles had me stuck with the rain pourin' Livin' in the shadow of death while they plain borin' Yeah, the drugs had me high like a plane soarin' 'Til I crashed and got left in the flames roarin' Still nobody understood like my name foreign Devil in my veins, no one to blame 'cause I camе for 'em Same story, differеnt chapter, on the wrong page (Yeah!) 'Til I switched up the tracks and the song changed Had to learn to walk the line like I'm off rage Still I got the world in my palms, I guess I'm on stage Got my mind sharp, call it cutting edge No blades, drugs cut off like a severed head Back from the grave, call me living dead Once prisoned, now I've risen to be king instead [Chorus: Kid Fade] Why is it that I keep on fighting myself? You see, the war's from within, still blaming everyone else Need to push the pain aside, inside my dying is felt The feeling so close to death, could even die in a cell (Huh!) Why is it that I keep on fighting myself? You see, the war's from within, still blaming everyone else Left without a sign of help, please take the brain out my scalp And leave my veins cold blooded so I can blame nothing else [Verse 2: Kid Fade] Should I blame my pops for leaving, friends for dying Myself for giving up in this life? No longer trying I've felt like giving up so many times while I'm lying In this mess that I've created, to myself, ain't no denying it (Yeah!) Still feelin' discouraged, what I really need is the courage Help me rise up out the problems I've caused, let 'em flourish I can't solve 'em all but I'm bound to fall If I'm consumed by my fears, not standing tall Best friend told me "Fade, ay yo, it's time to man up" But still he left me on my own, I know it's time to stand up Rather die by the knife than my own device Might get cold at night, but it ain't cold as life Old and tired, praying and I hope I might Find the strength from within to think it over twice Give the best that I've got 'cause this life's one shot Tryna make it from the bottom going straight to the top Yeah! [Chorus: Kid Fade] Why is it that I keep on fighting myself? You see, the war's from within, still blaming everyone else Need to push the pain aside, inside my dying is felt The feeling so close to death, could even die in a cell (Huh!) Why is it that I keep on fighting myself? You see, the war's from within, still blaming everyone else Left without a sign of help, please take the brain out my scalp And leave my veins cold blooded so I can blame nothing else
