Worth The Fight

Hip hop infused, alternative indie, dynamic swings, tempo changes, bass, emotional, calm, piano, synths, fast rap verses, emotional chorus

I’m a little introspective, yeah
I like to think a little more than most 
But introspection ain’t all that convenient 
Sometimes I wish I kept my eyes closed 
Yeah
I don’t really like admitting this
But I kinda wanna let loose just a little bit 
It’s kinda fun to have your head buried in the sand, yeh 
Acting like you ain’t got no convictions
Yeah, I can picture in a different life
Playing all the girls, slay a new one every night
God, I hate to say that
I’ll admit that I’m embarrassed 
I can’t actually believe that I just said that
Did I mention that I’m introspective?
Oh right, well let me put you in my head a second 
Sometimes I think about things that should bring me shame
But often times it feels more like freedom gained 
See, most contribute to the very things they think they hate
And they don’t realize that they do it with the songs they sing, the thoughts they think
They don’t notice in the shows they praise and all the funds they raise
I’m not tryna blame ya’ll, cause guess what, I do the same
Cause it’s so arousing
Or it’s just too funny
So we compromise on what we know is right, and then we point the finger 
Cause everyone is good at pointing fingers, even me
Yeah, I’m more righteous than you, that’s what I like to think
But even now I’m fighting off the urge to set it free
And write something that goes against all my so-called held beliefs

Is it even worth the fight?
Is it even worth the fight?
Is it even worth the fight resisting?

I see these viral songs and can't help but think
"I guess that smut's what sells these days"
I've been here a while and barely have a following
And it's tempting to just throw away restrain, instead embrace this thing I say I hate 
Just to gain some popularity
Embrace full fledged vulgarity 
It's easy right? 
Far as I know, all it really takes is some objectifying
Mention body parts as crudely as I can
Reduce a woman to the holes she has to offer
And reduce men to wild animals who lead girls to the slaughter
Yes, even I who's clearly bothered by this culture of today will say
Oh, how often and so clearly do I go astray
And most ignore their feelings, I believe, to justify the unjustifiable 
To say our words do matter's rather undeniable 
But honestly, I'm genuinely pretty fucking tired
And sometimes I can't help but sit and wonder

Is it even worth the fight?
Is it even worth the fight resisting?

This isn't what I thought I'd be writing for your ears
You can say what you may of me, but I will die on this
I mean what I say and don't shy away from it
And if you listen to it, then I can promise it's authentic
Yeah, there's intentionality in the breaths that I breathe
And I don't mean to toot my own horn (toot-toooot)
But I'm worth having your attention cause I don't sell out
And I'm convinced more than ever here and now

That it's worth the fight
It's worth the fight
Yeah, I know it's worth resisting
