Without A Fight

I kept thinkin' I could never see this day

It seemed so far away, hey

Da, dada, dadadada



It's so funny how quick things can change

Don't wanna make the same mistakes, hey

Over and over again



This time I'll be a little smarter

I'll push myself a little harder

'Cause my dreams ain't that much farther, hey



I won't give up without a fight

I'ma reach for the sky, try 'till I get it right

So I can see the day

When I can have things my way



I'ma start all over

Things are getting closer

I can see it, baby



Although I've had my highs and lows

I'ma push down that road, yeah

Da, dada, dadadada



My Lord keeps sending me the signs

I know this one is gonna be mine, yeah

It won't happen if I don't try, no



This time I'll be a little smarter

I'll push myself a little harder

'Cause my dreams ain't that much farther, hey



I won't give up without a fight

I'ma reach for the sky, try 'till I get it right

So I can see the day

When I can have things my way



I'ma start all over

Things are getting closer

I can see it, baby



I won't give up without a fight

I'ma reach for the sky, try 'till I get it right

So I can see the day

When I can have things my way



I'ma start all over

Things are getting closer, alright



I'ma be that one shining brighter than the sun

Da, dada, dadadoda

It's time to have some fun

Feels like I've already won

Don't give up without a fight



I won't give up without a fight

I'ma reach for the sky, try 'till I get it right

So I can see the day

When I can have things my way



I'ma start all over

Things are getting closer

I can see it, baby



I won't give up without a fight

I'ma reach for the sky, try 'till I get it right

So I can see the day

When I can have things my way



I'ma start all over

Things are getting closer

I can see it, baby



See it, see it

Without A Fight

Janelle Monáe's 'Without A Fight' stands as a pivotal track from her 2010 album The ArchAndroid, serving as the thematic centerpiece for her exploration of artificial intelligence and human emotion. Released during a period where Monáe was deeply engaged with Afrofuturist aesthetics, the song blends soulful vocals with electronic production to critique the dehumanizing effects of technology. It reflects her broader artistic mission to merge diverse musical genres, including funk, R&B, and electronic dance music, into a cohesive narrative. The recording exemplifies her ability to address complex social issues while maintaining an infectious, danceable rhythm that has become a staple in her discography.
