I’m going to tell you something
And I don’t really give a fuck
If you listen
But up your ears
Or not
It's all the same to me
Sit there
Chewing on gum
Smacking those lips
Like you don’t give a fuck
On this earth
Well pardon me
I guess I’ll just talk to myself
Either either
Neither neither
Neither one
Goes up my ass
I don’t care
Either neither way, okay?
Sound good to you?
Now here it is:
This
Is not
Your fight
Now I know you hear the dragon outside
I hear it too
It’s not my first dragon either neither
You know what I’m saying?
Not the first time
Somebody was banging on the door
Trying to get in
And you gotta know, see?
You gotta know
When to open the door
You gotta know
When it’s your fight
Now that’s a personal type of thing
For a young person
So it’s not my place to say
What is
And what isn’t
But if somebody who wasn’t smacking lips
And chewing gum
Asked for my opinion
I’d tell them
That I don’t think
This is their fight
That’s how I see it
Maybe you see it some other way
Sharpening your knife
Getting your game face on
Ready to tussle
How much tussle
You got in you, huh?
Because that dragon outside?
She’s been tussling
Her whole life
She’s not one of those boy dragons
That blows out all their fire
In the first bustle and brawl
No, she’s smart
She’s got a little smirk
A little something extra
A little bit of know-how
And she knows all about how
Your stupid ass
Is going to go outside
Ready to fight
And then she’s going to snatch you
And I’ll find you on the floor
In the bathroom
Shaking and choking
On your own spit
Saying--
Help me
Help me
Not so fresh then
Not so know-it-all
No, the know-how
Beats the know-it-all
That’s how that works
I’ll find you
And hold you
And wonder why
You thought
This was your fight
But by then
The fight’s over
By then
It’s too late
So trust me
When I tell you
This is not your fight
This ain’t anybody’s fight
Some fights belong to the hero
And some belong to the dragon
And you better know
Which is which
You better know
When to stand up
And walk away
