Every night I take that late walk
To breath in the fresh air
A time to think clearly
To watch all around me
Dressed as a fighter
Hiding my gender
Knowing all that can happen
Every night I leave the house
I prepare for a night of war
Almost prepared for anything
Walking and staying calm
Thinking as a fighter would
Stay strong and clear minded
Looking left then right
The people stare
The people wonder
I'm so mysterious
And look so bad ass
Thats the hole point
To have them look the other way
But no body knows that I keep a knife in my jeans
Not for intentional harm
But for the night I'm attacked by some stranger
It's only for my own safety
It's not a game
It's not an act
I'm just The Fighter In The Streets tonight
