BURNING FIRE

A look at society through the lens of rap

There's a new word on the street that

Back in the day we used to pray

today you insist it ought not be that way

caught up in the mix to dismiss

this earthly bliss

in a time well spent in thought

see I'm a hustler no I'm not a follower

I see gand violence in the street

young brothers looking for some food to eat

got sand bags in the eyes with a soft reply

no such worry of fly by's

for sugar is sweet so sweet like honey

I want to be the man who brings home the money

nothing phony as a wanna be gangster

got my nine in my pocket in a holster to lock it

but F**k it society has gone crazy just don't ever call me lazy

sides need to come together were all in the same gang

there needs to be a change instead flipping fries

it ought to be Caviar and top of the line whiskey

so it hit me some brothers don't need to be bothered

there's a line being drawn in the sand

when will we ever live to understand

things falling apart at the seams

with such evil means

twisted lies isn't it no surprise

got to stay locked with the hip hop scene

don't give up or quit by any means

burning it up as you flirt with fire

light it up at your purest desire

going to take it much higher

take this logic to the streets

where we can meet & greet

need to come together

forget about the weather

got to stay light as a feather

someday we will all sleep tight in our coffin

then we will stay absolutely nothing

achieve your goals now

don't look back when your hands on the plow.
