[Intro]
Oohhhh, ohhhhhh, ohhhh
Fuck is he doing here?
Fuck is he doing here?
Fuck is he doing here?
Ohhhhhhhhhh

[Verse 1: Jhene Aiko + Childish Gambino]
Fighting hard, fighting strong
Fighting harder and stronger
Fighting hard, fighting strong
Fighting harder and stronger
Ohhhhhhhh
I will fight for you
I will hold you so deep in the light, ohh
Ohhhhhh
I will fight for you
I will hold you into the night
Ohhhh

[Verse 2: Vince Staples]
Waiting for my moment, it's now or never
Heartbroken and hopeless, it's now or never
Down on my life, felt like dyin's better, for our
Don't come round here tryna find yourself
Belly of the beast, boolin', only God can help
I woke up with a vendetta this mornin'
Rise and shine, demise of my mind and I'm haunted
Eyes wide while all y'all still yawnin'
My pride won't die til I'm dormant
Show me where the war at
It's death threats on my door mat
I'm selfish, I need all that
No accolade escape
See I be sittin' in the grave
'Fore I be sittin' in the cage
Asked Ali what's the price of war
Asked God why momma made me poor
Ask police why they hunt me down
We fight to live and fight for sport
I try to give, they ask for more
I back away, they turn they back
Lifestyle of talented and black
Back on the roads, I must react
This my story
Yeah this is my story

Ludwig Göransson is a Swedish composer, songwriter and record producer primarily known for his frequent collaborations with Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino), handling most of the production of his projects since his 2010 mixtape Culdesac. He initially met Glover when they both worked on the Dan Harmon-run sitcom Community, which Glover was an actor in and Göransson composed music for.

In addition to his work for Community, Göransson has also composed scores for other popular sitcoms like New Girl and is a regular collaborator with famed director Ryan Coogler, having worked on all of his films to date, including the wildly successful Black Panther, which Genius covered as part of its “Deconstructed” series. The score went on to earn Göransson his first Academy Award nomination and win. He was also nominated for Record of the Year for his work on Childish Gambino’s “Redbone”, another song covered in Genius' “Deconstructed” series. He later won Record of the Year and Song of the Year for “This Is America”, in 2019.

By simply taking a look at his IMDb page, you can find plenty of composing credits on popular titles like The Mandalorian, Tenet, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Central Intelligence, Tropic Thunder, We’re the Millers, Creed, and Fruitivale Station.
