[Verse 1: Barkaa]
She said "Don’t leave me here again, ma
I need you more than you could ever understand, ma
I’m broken and alone, I know we had a broken home
Stop thinking you need a man, ma
Getting chucked around the system, need to take my hand ma
Wanna go home, but you’re to selfish on that needle
Think you bad to the bone, was once good but you turned evil
And I’m sick of these thoughts, was I ever enough?
It seems that all I was taught, that I was always too much
And all I want is your love but you don’t wanna come back
Yeah, you too sick on that crack to comprehend the impact
I only see you for an hour every couple of weeks
And I’m going through so much trauma, find it hard to just speak
He touchin' me in the dark, guess I’m not worthy of lovin'
I’ll probably turn out like you, or layin' up in a coffin
All I wanted was you, but I wasn’t your problem
I guess I got to figure out my own ways to just solve ‘em"
[Pre-Chorus: Barkaa]
"Want you to fight for me, like you fight over drugs
Want you to fight for me, go 'head and fight for my love
Want you to die for me, but you just died on me
So now I’m standing in the mirror feeling real lonely, sorry, mummy"
[Chorus: Zaachariaha Fielding]
Fight for me, mama
Fight for me, fight for me
Walkin’ in a world built on tyranny
The system and the drugs, they are killing me, killing me
Escaping from the system but the system needs the drugs
Feeding off the poison when I really needed love
Fight for me, fight for me, mama
Fight for me, fight for me
[Verse 2: Barkaa]
There’s no excuse for my actions, I should’ve been a mum
And now I’m living with regret ‘cause I passed on my trauma
I’m so sorry for the pain that you feel in your heart
And if I could take it away, I would tear it all apart
I tear myself up every day, I wish I had my baby back
But when push came to shove, I didn’t have my baby's back
I was caught up in the trap, I was frontin’ on ya dad
And my demons came in masses, was too weak to fight ‘em back
Don’t blame you for what I did, put blame where it belongs
I did bad on my own, having you was never wrong
You were a blessin' all along, just too blind to fuckin' see
Hatin' on who I am, please don’t ever be like me, I should've fought for you
[Chorus: Zaachariaha Fielding]
Fight for me, mama
Fight for me, fight for me
Walkin’ in a world built on tyranny
The system and the drugs, they are killing me, killing me
Escaping from the system but the system needs the drugs
Feeding off the poison when I really needed love
Fight for me, fight for me, mama
Fight for me, fight for me
[Outro: Barkaa]
I should’ve fought for you instead of chasing these drugs
I should’ve fought for you, I should’ve fought for your love
Should’ve been there for you, it wasn’t fair to you
And you’re so strong my baby, I couldn’t compare to you
I should’ve fought for you instead of chasing these drugs
I should’ve fought for you, I should’ve fought for your love
Should’ve been there for you, it wasn’t fair to you
And you’re so strong my baby, I couldn’t compare to you

Fight For Me is inspired by the silent voices in the system we don’t hear from, the babies voices… This track was inspired by my mothers story of growing up in foster care being wrongfully removed from my Nana and Pop and my children who had to spend years without me because I was too selfish in my...
