[Verse 1: Call Me Karizma]
I'm in the trenches
I got my defenses up
I load on my weapons, yeah
I'm aiming at everyone

[Verse 2: Call Me Karizma]
Ain't no stars in Hollywood
Every night is dark as hell
Demons always on the prowl
Looking for a soul to sell
But I'm a soldier, yeah
Bullets from my shoulder strap
If I make it out I'm never going back

[Chorus: Call Me Karizma]
Battle from my heart like, oohh-oh
It's me against the dark side, oohh-oh
I'm paying such a high price
Living in the limelight
It's a war
Yeah
But I'll fight for every inch
I'd die before I quit
Like, oohh-oh
It's a war
Yeah
But I'll fight for every inch
I'd die before I quit
Like, oohh-oh
It's a war
It's a war
Yeah
[Verse 3: PHIX]
I'm sick of taking this medicine thinking to myself that I'm gonna get better again
Bitch, how could this be competitive when these other rappers know that I'm better than them?
There ain't nobody, I'm positive that they could be better than me, that's a negative friend
Even the thought of me coming back to rap will have you never make your records again

[Verse 4: PHIX]
But be careful what the state that my head is in
Or you might end up in a grave with the skeletons
It's like you begging on your knees and let the devil in
You play with fire and you'll never win

[Verse 5: Call Me Karizma & PHIX]
You can run but can't escape me
I won't run you cannot break me
You can try but you won’t take me alive
You can try but you won’t take me alive

[Chorus: Call Me Karizma]
But I'll fight for every inch
I'd die before I quit
Like, oohh-oh
It's a war
Yeah
But I'll fight for every inch
I'd die before I quit
Like, oohh-oh
It's a war
It's a war
Battle from my heart like, oohh-oh
It's me against the dark side, oohh-oh
I'm paying such a high price
Living in the limelight
It's a war
Yeah
