Datin - We Fight Lyrics
Lyrics
Intro: 1K Phew & Datin
Eager to fall, call when you need me (GOM)
Need this no more, it's a new season (116, Menace Movement)
Leaving 'em all, now we can breathe in (1K Phew, Wande, Datin)
In (Yeah!)
Chorus: 1K Phew & Wande
You know, you ain't gotta stay down there (Down there)
But the hate can stay down there (Down there)
If you can't love, then go somewhere (Uh, yeah, leavin' ? away)
You ain't gotta stay down there (Down there)
But the hate can stay down there (Down there)
If you can't love, then go somewhere (Let's go)
Color purple had to fight all my life (All my life)
Color purple had to fight all my life (All my life)
Color purple had to fight all my life
Fight all my life and I'm still here
Color purple had to fight all my life (Oh)
Had to fight all my life (Oh yeah)
Had to fight all my life (Yeah) and I'm still
Verse 1: Datin
They're all in my face with their hate and aggression
And it's putting my faith to the testing
I can stop and catch a fade and it's tempting
But God is love and we're made from His essence
He a witness and gave us a weapon
Using love as a way of deflecting
All the hate that they would spray my direction
Instead of catching a fade, I would bless, yuh
We fight hate with love so that makes us dangerous
'Cause we kill 'em all with kindness 'fore they load it aimed at us
We fight fear with faith, so we're all fearless and brave
We're not scared of all your threats
We will not run, we're here to stay, yeah, yeah
We fight lies with truth, this Bible's tried and true
Inside there's jewels that can guide a fool to Christ
My life's the proof, my mind's renewed
With insightin' views, these vipers blinding youth, disguising clues
And they try to hide that Jesus died for you, yeah
The devil fights tooth and nail with evil and truth prevail
So you can tell him you have been doomed to fail
You choose to review truth and tell
Used to that would you do rebel
But, you lose 'cause it's who knew you well
New school, like I'm cuckoo I yell
Shoo fool, He rebukes you to Hell (Tell 'em Phew)
Chorus: 1K Phew & Wande
You know, you ain't gotta stay down there (Down there)
But the hate can stay down there (Down there)
If you can't love, then go somewhere (Uh, yeah, leavin' ? away)
You ain't gotta stay down there (Down there)
But the hate can stay down there (Down there)
If you can't love, then go somewhere (Let's go)
Color purple had to fight all my life (All my life)
Color purple had to fight all my life (All my life)
Color purple had to fight all my life
Fight all my life and I'm still here
Color purple had to fight all my life
Had to fight all my life
Had to fight all my life (Yeah) and I'm still
Verse 2: 1K Phew
I was already tired of the fronting
Then you kicked this away like the punt team
Every week you finessin' 'bout something
So confused, I don't know what you're wanting
Every Sunday you saw me, you hugged me
Then you played my whole family like rugby
Man I thought that your living was lovely
When you show me your heart, it cuts deep
Maybe, I'm dreamin', it must be (Must be)
Let me imagine, yeah
Okay now time to go proceed (Proceed)
I'm 'bout to go dummy
Ain't no takin' it from me
One more time, ain't no takin' it from me (One more time)
At the bottom, it used to be raunchy
Now, I feel like the King of Jumanji
Verse 3: Wande
Talkin' 'bout love, that ain't no feelings
Gotta have trust but you need healin'
I see the pain, you had a fire to ya
They took advantage and lied to ya
All of your labor, building these walls thinking life was there
Hiding the pain but just let him in
Please just forgive him, we say again, ooh, yeah
Came from the bottom but you know that the Lord, He stay with me
God on my side don't play with me
He arranges me, got victory
Yeah, started from the bottom but I know God saw my pain, alright
Joy comes in the morning, even in the morning, I'ma get through the night, ayy
Chorus: 1K Phew & Wande
You know, you ain't gotta stay down there (Down there)
But the hate can stay down there (Down there)
If you can't love, then go somewhere (Uh, yeah, leavin' ? away)
You ain't gotta stay down there (Down there)
But the hate can stay down there (Down there)
If you can't love, then go somewhere (Let's go)
Color purple had to fight all my life (All my life)
Color purple had to fight all my life (All my life)
Color purple had to fight all my life
Fight all my life and I'm still here
Color purple had to fight all my life (Oh)
Had to fight all my life (Oh yeah)
Had to fight all my life (Yeah) and I'm still

Eager to fall, call when you need me
Need this no more, it's a new season
Leaving 'em all, now we can breathe in

Datin - We Fight (Color Purple) Feat. 1K Phew & Wande (Lyric Video)
Meaning & Inspiration
"We Fight" by Datin, featured on the compilation album *CHH Ain't Dead, Vol. 1* released in 2020, stands as a powerful declaration of spiritual resilience and the transformative power of love in the face of adversity. The song immediately sets a tone of earnestness with its intro, inviting listeners to call upon higher strength when needed, signaling a departure from past struggles into a season of renewed hope. The central theme, amplified in the chorus and woven through each verse, is the necessity of confronting negativity and opposition not with retaliation, but with divine love and unwavering faith. The recurring phrase "Color purple had to fight all my life" is a poignant metaphor, evoking the historical struggles faced by many, perhaps referencing the persecution and discrimination often symbolized by the color purple, but ultimately framing it within a narrative of endurance and survival through faith.
The lyrical content of "We Fight" delves deeply into the personal and spiritual battles that individuals encounter. Datin, in his verse, confronts the aggression and hate directed his way, acknowledging the temptation to engage in conflict. However, he pivots to a core tenet of his faith: "God is love and we're made from His essence." This foundational belief guides his approach, advocating for the use of love as a defensive mechanism, turning back animosity with blessings and kindness, a concept echoed in Matthew 5:44, which urges believers to "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." The song emphasizes that this method of fighting hate with love makes them "dangerous" not through aggression, but through its disarming nature, akin to "killing 'em all with kindness." This is further bolstered by confronting fear with faith, leading to fearlessness and bravery, as the Lord is presented as a protector and guide through truth, as found in the Scriptures. The mention of the Bible as a source of truth that can lead the lost to Christ highlights the evangelistic undertones of the track. Datin’s conviction that the devil fights against truth, yet truth will ultimately prevail, resonates with biblical narratives of spiritual warfare where the armor of God, including the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, is crucial for victory (Ephesians 6:10-18).
1K Phew's contribution adds a layer of personal testimony, reflecting on experiences of betrayal and disillusionment from those who presented themselves as friends. His lines about being tired of "fronting" and being "played like rugby" speak to the pain of insincere relationships and the confusion that arises from inconsistent actions. He moves from this sense of hurt to a declaration of reclaiming his position and strength, feeling like "the King of Jumanji," a vivid image of overcoming challenges and emerging triumphant, free from the constraints of past negativity. Wande's verse brings a focus on the importance of healing and trust, moving beyond mere feelings to a deeper understanding of love that requires genuine connection and reconciliation. She addresses the pain of being taken advantage of and lied to, acknowledging the walls people build to protect themselves. The call to "just let him in" and "forgive him" is a direct invitation to embrace divine grace and forgiveness, mirroring the Gospel message that God's love is available to all who seek it, offering healing from past wounds and the promise that "joy comes in the morning" (Psalm 30:5). The assurance that "God on my side don't play with me" and that He arranges victory underscores a profound reliance on divine power for overcoming life's adversities. The collective message of "We Fight" is one of empowerment through faith, encouraging listeners to rise above negativity, to combat hate with love, and to stand firm in their convictions, knowing that their battles are fought with spiritual weapons and guided by divine wisdom, ultimately leading to a place of peace and strength.
