Joell Ortiz - Fighters (Freestyle) lyrics

[Sample from the film 'Almost Famous']: William Miller: I've been doing some stuff for a local underground paper, too Lester Bangs: What, are you like the star of your school? William Miller: They hate me Lester Bangs: You'll meet them all again on their long journey to the middle Lester Bangs: You know your writing is damn good. It's just a shame you missed out on rock'n roll. It's over William Miller: Over? Lester Bangs: Over. Do you take d**? William Miller: No Lester Bangs: Smart kid. I used to do speed. You know sometimes a little cough syrup. Stay up all night, writing and writing. And like 25 pages of drivel about the phases of Coltrain. You know, just to f**in' write [Chorus] [Novel]: The fighters are all around And the lovers are underground No one will save you, anymore So what's happening? What you rappin' about? Is it boys? Is it cars? Is it girls? Is it money? Save the world The world [Verse One] [Novel]: Katrina tragedy, Jena 6 ? and rappers rich Yeah we came from rags to this So when we ever gon' get past this sh** Ain't tryin' to judge I'm the same as you I feel pain and anguish too I spit broken language too Look at all the bullsh** I've been through Gotta watch my back nowadays Gotta look out for my own Everywhere I go I roam, I know the government be tappin' my phones Let's go against the man, let's stand out Put a fist in the air, throw a hand out Open your eyes son and revolutionize Everybody choose sides, let's see ? [Chorus] [Novel]: The fighters are all around And the lovers are underground No one will save you, anymore So what's happening? What you rappin' about? Is it boys? Is it cars? Is it girls? Is it money? Save the world The world [Verse Two] [Joell Ortiz]: Who the best in the booth son Got the Internet goin' crazy every time he give a website a new one Who never mention that he shoot guns Still gets the ooh/uzi and ahhs with every party, call him "New Pun" Brooklyn, yeah I rep that Champion hoodie with the Mets hat low Cause I'm in the hood and have a set back And one of my man's got to step back and let that go I'm gonna get that doe I don't wanna be po' no mo' That s**s when your pockets feel like they got hit by a Mack truck So when they pull the track up, I don't just act up I wild till the studio calls for back up Opportunities something I never pa** up Yeah I'll do that, give me that, yup that too That game's sick, you the man or you ain't sh** So I flame sh** till my name stick like a tattoo Achoo, I sneeze on the game till everybody's sick Let everybody spit Okay everybody done, I'mma have a little fun 3, 2, 1 Everybody sh** on they self You ain't never heard a flow like mine See a show like mine See hoes like mine Let me know I'm fine Yours are who*es of course because you're boring line Don't work with women, they work with little s*uts See a few bucks won't give a n***a a nut Mine's got jobs like credit, they know the game Put something in they name and I get a little bu*t And maybe I'm wrong with the ladies I bone And awards for not rhymin' 'bout sittin' on chrome Or how your ? all gone when your mag is out Man I can't stand what you'll rappin' 'bout [Chorus] [Novel]: The fighters are all around And the lovers are underground No one will save you, anymore So what's happening?
