Burning Desire (Tiny Desk Version)

[Intro: MIKE]

Uh

[Verse: MIKE]

To fuck around and see me plummet, shit, I couldn't stomach

When niggas told me I was buggin', I was seein' numbers

And touch the ground, wheel the luggage, all I got from runnin'

My mama told me 'bout this curse, how I was not above it

I honor her with every word, I never swap the subject

Bottles clinkin' on the curb, think I'm out of budget

Naavin got me with the purse, think I gotta buzz him

The silent grievin' never work, why I reside to puffin'

Just so I could be a person when I'm out in public

Someone remind me that there's purpose in this life of wantin'

All that whinin' bе a burden or a sign we flunkin'

Ain't been so hard to see my verdict was to diе with nothin'

Seen the worse from this service of my guideless lovin'

When we was huddled in this church, where most had lied and fronted

All this time that I spent searchin' was the diamond cuttin'

Use to coddle up at Vernon like I’m dodgin' summons

[Refrain: MIKE, duendita & Liv.e]

Lighting and thunder, summer of pain

Fogs and rainin' clouds cluttered the way (Ohh)

Sometimes I pray the route—

Lightin' and thunder, summer of pain (Ohh I)

Fogs and rainin' clouds cluttered the way (Ohh I, I'm burning)

(Ohh I, ohh I, I'm burning)

(Ohh I, ohh I, I'm burning)
