Since she was a young girl, bought the wrong side of the tracks Selling drugs and her body for what little she had Doing just like her momma and her granny had done She gonna teach her baby daughter who she will become And it's begun Starting all over again Another day another dollar and the baby grows, she does Momma keepin' secrets but baby, she already knows Where the money comes from, diamonds and pearls There ain't that many uncles in the world Momma I love you, but I'm never gonna be that girl I've gotta fight for my soul, for my soul I've gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more Fight for my soul, for my soul I've gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more He was just a young boy stumbling on his daddy's deck He took the top off a bottle and he tipped it back Now through the looking glass, looking back twenty plus years He took one look and said "I ain't going out like this" Not like my daddy did I've gotta fight for my soul, for my soul Gotta fight for my soul, I don't wanna give it away no more Fight for my soul, for my soul I've gotta fight for my soul, cause I don't wanna give it away no more I'm still the one that was left with the price to pay But they make good on mistakes they never made For the one that just found out we will never take control They can take alot, but they can never take your soul
