Open Mike Eagle I’ll Fight You
On the inspiration behind his new mixtape (dropping October 7th), Eagle shared, “I named each tape. I named one Component System. This album was made in the spirit of that tape but with new music from me. Some of the people on the original tape appear on this album, I’m so proud of that that it brings me close to tears.” As for what inspired his Diamond D produced lead single “i’ll fight you”, he added, “This first single is produced by Diamond D of DITC, who’s beats and raps have inspired me my whole ass life.”
Open Mike’s love of hip hop and Chicago are deep-rooted and evident throughout all of his work. He added, “When I was in high school I used to stay up late to tape the hip-hop shows on college radio station WHPK on the south side of Chicago. It was the only way to hear the underground rap songs that changed my world. I still have many of the cassettes, with songs by giants like MF DOOM, DITC, Outsidaz, All Natural, Juggaknots, Organized Konfusion and more.”
Open Mike Eagle – i’ll fight you (prod. Diamond D)
[Intro]
One, two, one, two, one, two (Yeah, one, two)
[Verse 1]
Fly with my devices charged
As I eat a edible and write some bars
I scribble legible, it’s nice and large
And I awake and when the lights come on (Lets go)
I’m really fillin’ out a crisis card
It’s one, two (Two), countin’ vacation days
In day one, outrun annihilation waves
In day two, rescue a HBCU
In day three (One, two), visit Haiti with a Haitian Davis
One, two (One, two), middle age poster child
I heard I gotta put the potion down
I heard it’s time to put the vocals in
I need to try a new approach again
To really know how it’s supposed to sound, it’s one
I’m in the jungle like Axl Rose
And if you float through the hood, keep your capsule closed
If you roll through again, it’ll suck you in
Give a pump, pump, jump into an action pose
It’s one, two, tryna get my hearts restored
I need some money and a harpsichord
Sing to the dummy in apartment four
Said he wanted you, goes out for blood
Then I would run at you across the floor
It goes
[Chorus]
How it go, come on
It’ll be endless, I will fight you every day
Rap that flow, come on, one, two
It’ll be endless, I will fight you every day
What’s that one thing, thing that they say?
Run that upstairs, above my pay grade
I don’t know, man, no idea, dog
Melt that snowman, no ideologue
[Verse 2]
My mind chews like a Rottweiler
Sunrises at Dockweiler
Sit on your back like Scott Steiner
Diss on a track like shots fired
I paint it black like Rob Piper
Tap out, hold your pinched nostril
Black out like John Stossel
Act out, your ensemble
Who among us is mega sus?
I’m writin’ raps on the Megabus
Imagine flight like a pegasus
My suitcase feels overweight
It’s too late for them to hold the gate
Instead of goose chase, negotiate
And tuck your thoughts in loose like shoelaced roller skates
I won’t wait
Who won’t cut the blue ribbon?
You woke up like, “Who did it?” (Who?)
Like show us the stool pigeons (Oh)
Who smoked up new visions?
The fool left us a note from the broke up news clippings
[Chorus]
Come on, come on
It’ll be endless, I will fight you every day
It’ll be endless, I will fight you every day
What’s that one thing, thing that they say?
Run that upstairs, above my pay grade (One, two)
I don’t know, man (Come on), no idea, dog (One, two)
Melt that snowman, no ideologue (Yeah, yeah)
[Outro]
It’ll be endless, I will fight you every day (Maybe gang, come on, one, two)
It’ll be endless, I will fight you every day
It’ll be endless, I will fight you every day (Oh)
