Lyrics

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

I prepare myself for a challenge and head straight to face it

'Cause this, is worth fighting for

Expressing determination, indicating that the challenge is significant

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

Ensuring mental readiness, emphasizing the importance of the heart following suit

Whisper a prayer like there ain't no tomorrow

Turning to prayer with urgency and a sense of imminent peril

Take a breath, and I exhale slow

Calming oneself by taking a deliberate breath in a challenging situation

I wasn't made for this kind of cold

Expressing discomfort in a harsh or difficult environment

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

Describing an undesirable place or situation

These are the elements, I'm telling you bro

Referring to the challenging aspects of life as "elements"

This world, is up in my grill

Stating that the world is intruding and causing problems

This world, is shooting to kill

Highlighting the world's aggressive and harmful nature

This world always gotta be stealing my heart

Pointing out the world's tendency to take away one's joy or passion

This world always tryin' to rip my family apart (apart, apart, apart)

Expressing the threat of the world tearing apart the speaker's family


I'll fight the elements (elements, elements, elements)

Expressing determination to confront and overcome life's challenges

I'll fight the elements (elements, elements, elements)

-

I got spirit, I got faith

-

I might bend but I won't break

-

I'll fight the elements (elements, elements, elements)

-

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

Emphasizing the commitment to face challenges with resilience

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

Rejecting the current state as the speaker's true home

They camouflage like we're fighting some ghost

Describing the deceptive nature of challenges, comparing them to a hidden enemy

You start to doubt everything that you know

Expressing doubt and questioning in the face of challenges

I feel the heat and it's starting to show

Feeling the pressure of challenges becoming evident

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

Describing attempts to break the speaker's spirit and make them surrender

Lay down our arms, Novocain us again

Referring to attempts to numb the pain and make the speaker submit

Lay down a fight, I could never relent

Committing to never give up the fight

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

Expressing determination to persevere until the end


I'll fight the elements (elements, elements, elements)

Reiteration of the resolve to confront and overcome life's challenges

I'll fight the elements (elements, elements, elements)

-

I got spirit, I got faith

-

I might bend but I won't break

-

I'll fight the elements (elements, elements, elements)

-

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

Emphasizing the commitment to face challenges with resilience

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

Encouragement or rallying cry

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

Seeking divine guidance and insight in understanding challenges

This ain't neutral we're up against

Describing the challenges as not neutral, emphasizing their adversarial nature

These elements push me to the fence

Expressing the challenges pushing the speaker to the edge

And then I end up on top of it

Asserting the speaker's ability to overcome challenges and rise above them

If I'm not careful

Warning about the need to be cautious and aware of challenges

To recognize what is pushing in

Acknowledging the importance of recognizing and understanding challenges

Open my eyes to these elements

Asking for clarity and insight in facing challenges

Stand up and rise to these elements

Encouraging standing up and overcoming challenges

I'm willing to fight, willing to fight

Expressing the willingness to fight against challenges

The elements

Reiteration of the commitment to fight against the symbolic "elements"
