Fighting Irish
• Written by ClydeCyrus
The summer is over, I missed it, barrel with smoke, and I kissed it
Ferris showed us the renders for Texas, it's unrealistic
Cut 'em the check 'cause I hate reviewin' the budgets and limits
The world fell in love with the gimmicks, even my brothers got tickets
Seemed like they loved every minute
Just know this shit is personal to us, and it wasn't just business
Analyzin' behavioral patterns is somewhat suspicious
Niggas was never happy for me when I run up the digits
Or when I'm breakin' world records still, as I guzzle a Guinness
Or when I get my fifth Maybach 'cause the color is different
'Member we tradin' watches? I gave you that Arabic dial, you gave me a numbered edition
You would even check up on my son like a pediatrician
Sure convinced the gang this shit was rooted in love when it isn't
Show me how different we are, there's blessings in juxtaposition
I guess now you boys gotta abandon your summer tradition
Cold shoulders I gave in the Hamptons, it come with the distance
Figured we was always gon' be close, like ovens and kitchens
I was sadly mistaken, the loyalty wasn't a given
And niggas cried the blues for you, sayin' it wasn't malicious
Talkin' 'bout we family, well, I'm not the cousin to visit
God forbid we ever got to tarnish your public image
All that brother talk as if I really discovered a sibling
Six degrees, my memory's retrivin' our humble beginnings
Niggas wanted trouble, grabbed the shovel and dug up some ditches
That was a body double and we've done dozens of switches
Niggas tried to light the front gate up, it wasn't for Christmas
I said a prayer that morning for Sean, and it wasn't religious
It came from a place of desperation and utter submission
Rappin' was over for now, it came like a sudden decision
I don't give a fuck about you snakes or these other musicians
Niggas started fuckin' with my family, I'm goin' to prison
And we all crashin' out together, my brothers complicit
Who put a pipe bomb in your trunk? It was an exhibit
I'm tryna blow the doors off that bitch when you touch the ignition
But then I gotta remember who made this shit come to fruition
Who's got the most to lose and who's in that other position?
Signal conversations, boy, I hope they got double encryption
I'd hate to see the empire crumble on judge's convictions
This nigga pulled a rabbit out the hat, and y'all love a magician
It's funny to see you all rejoicin' and huggin' and kissin'
What are we celebratin'? I'll rent out the club in addition
Nothing was the same with all you bitches and nothing's forgiven
But next time, bury me in gold, my blood is Egyptian
The Dennis James come out when the vodka is floodin' my system
I don't have a drinkin' problem, I got a subtle addiction
I got my father's habits and I got my mother's permission
My dad has another child, I told him that wasn't my sister
Grew up with dozens of Jews, churches with dozens of Christians
Also, developed a deep respect for the Muslim religion
I'm starin' at my daddy while y'all tell me I wasn't that nigga
