On Fire

[Chorus]

Ooh yeah, somebody take it away from me

Ooh yeah, baby don't take it away from me

Ooh yeah, sunlight is crawling it's way through me

Ooh yeah, darkness is here, it'll stay for me

[Verse 1]

There's a lot of shit I've been waiting to hear from you

Like would you tell me what the fuck I'm here to do

Had enough of this shit, there's a lot on my mind

I just carry the weight as it piles on my spine

I'm too far from my faith to rely on a God

I'm too far from my brain, I'm too out of my mind

I don' seen a nigga get his shit knocked back, for real

I don' seen a nigga with his fist cocked back

Hit his bitch out back, 'till her shit got cracked

And there's blood on the floor

I know niggas ignore that the blood in a queen

Runs the same in a whore

Facts are the facts, we just choose to ignore

I'm not givin' myself, what the fuck is this for, man?

[Chorus]

Ooh yeah, somebody take it away from me

Ooh yeah, baby don't take it away from me

Ooh yeah, sunlight is crawling it's way through me

Ooh yeah, darkness is here, it'll stay for me

[Verse 2]

Man, I swear to God, I almost lost my mind, for real

I left with all the pieces I could find and feel

It's dark now outside, but it's dark in my mind

I lost all that I love at the same fuckin' time

And the pressure to be, with the pressure to climb

Left me broken in places too desolate to find

Nigga, my brain is a cage

It's a place where the beasts that I'm battlin' lay

Man, it's a wrap. I relax in my rage

Like a bat, like a rat, in a trap or a cave

Yo, my thoughts all go black, they get trapped on a page

Then reality comes like a slap to the face

'Cause I'm dyin' to be, man, I'm dyin' to stay

Where I'm finally free, where I'm flying away

They don't want war, no

Won't let me soar, yo

Told 'em before, though

Told 'em before, though!

[Outro]

How you throw dirt on a seed and not expect it to grow, yo?

(Oh my God!)

Man, we come from the dirt, ain't no shinin', just in photos

I don't wanna live a life on fire, and nothing to show for it

If sufferin' makes a God, then let me know more of it
