The Elements

By TobyMac

Lyrics

I lace the boots up, it's straight to the door

'Cause this, is worth fighting for

I get my head right, the heart's gotta follow

Whisper a prayer like there ain't no tomorrow

Take a breath, then I exhale slow

I wasn't made for this kind of cold

This ain't the kind of place that you wanna know

These are the elements, I'm telling you bro

This world, is up in my grill

This world, is shooting to kill

This world always gotta be stealing my heart

This world always tryin' to rip my family apart 


I'll fight the elements 

I'll fight the elements 

I got spirit, I got faith

I might bend but I won't break

I'll fight the elements 


And I'ma go down swinging, if I go down

I'ma go down swinging, if I go down

I'ma go down swinging, if I go down

I'ma go down swinging, if I go down


This ain't our home, nah, not even close

They camouflage like we're fighting some ghost

You start to doubt everything that you know

I feel the heat and it's starting to show

They try to break us, break us, make us wanna give in

Lay down our arms, Novocain us again

Lay down a fight, I could never relent


And I'ma take it all the way to the end

And I'ma go down swinging, if I go down

I'ma go down swinging, if I go down

I'ma go down swinging, if I go down

I'ma go down swinging, if I go down

Let's go


Elements, the elem-elements

Elements, the elem-elements

Elements, the elem-elements

Elements, the elem-elements

Elements, the elem-elements

Elements, the elem-elements

Elements, the elem-elements

Elements, the elem-elements


Father, God, let me see it for what it is

This ain't neutral we're up against

These elements push me to the fence

And then I end up on top of it

If I'm not careful

To recognize what is pushing in

Open my eyes to these elements

Stand up and rise to these elements

I'm willing to fight, willing to fight

The elements


Elements, the elem-elements (I can feel it)

Elements, the elem-elements (I can feel it)

Elements, the elem-elements (I can feel it)

Elements, the elem-elements (let's go)

Elements, the elem-elements (I can feel it)

Elements, the elem-elements (I can feel it)

Elements, the elem-elements (I can feel it)

Elements, the elem-elements
