Fire

[Intro: Rapsody]

Maybe we should love somebody

Yep yep

Joy come in the morning

The sun rise tomorrow no matter how dark the night gets

You feel me right?

[Verse 1: Rapsody]

We gon’ still be alright

Joy come in the morning, we just gotta last for a night

The mask came off tonight

Don’t matter who in the Big House

We gon’ still march and fight, word to my people! Whaddup!

My brothers still standing strong holding dey nutz

Sistaaaaahs! We built tough right? Right

It’s super heavy though to think about these bodies

‘tween the sheets Ron Isley wasn’t singin’ ‘bout

I know the disbelief and pain that we all feeling now

Why some feel the need to wanna burn it down

It’s understood

Ain’t no fear in my heart! I only fear God!

Feel like Beast Mode with the ball

World on our back but we still gon’ go super hard for you all

Right? Right

Do it for the children, I got some things on my soul!

On my soul

Another hashtag in the streets, motherfuck it all

Don’t invest your money in a business that don’t fuck with y’all

Look the babies in the eye and tell ‘em “We’ll do better”

Yesterday is over, but tomorrow still waiting for us all

Yea sing that, sing that loud, how it go?

What it feel like?

[Hook: Rapsody]

Walk through the fire

All my people growing tired

Mamas fighting with they babies

They the ones to start the revolution, shit crazy

The media portray me with lies

Wanna justify how my Black folk died

They don’t want hear our cries

So we set that motherfucker on fire

[Verse 2: Rapsody]

Crispus Attucks

They drug us through the system, America like an addict

Abuse the power I can show you a real savage

Being peaceful nowadays a little below average

I pride myself in being exceptionally well at it

We’ll play it like y’all play and let our children throw tantrums

We hear the media telling you all to fear us

They never took a day off from killing us like Ferris

All day circus, they spinning shit like Ferris

We gotta bigger wheel, our will to live is apparent

Just ask a parent

We’re living in America but ain’t paying the same rent

We need progress and they still talking past tense

Where we going now? Ain’t no need in backing down from shit

(What is feel like?)

Walking through the fire, all my people growing tired

Mamas fighting with they babies

They the ones to start the revolution, shit crazy

The media portray me with lies

Wanna justify how my Black folk died

They don’t want hear our cries

So we set that motherfucker on fire

[Beat switch]

[Hook: Rapsody]

Walking through the fire (burn that bitch down)

All my people growing tired (we tired bruh)

Mamas fighting with they babies (we tired bruh)

They the ones to start the revolution, shit crazy

It's crazy out here (losing our minds)

[Verse 3: Rapsody]

Hard to get a grasp on how I feel

Shit who gon take this wheel? We’re (losing our minds)

If we give up and don’t try to build, it ain’t over

We ain’t (losing our minds)

The babies watching, seeing the hate and killings

I know it scare the children but (losing our minds)

Ain’t an option! You ain’t safe because

You make a profit, money won’t keep us from (losing our minds)

I think about it often, if we don’t pay attention

I hope you know what it’ll cost us (losing out minds)

The 13th got our brothers in prisons and coffins

They praying we all lose (losing our minds)

The day we do, they’ll know Nat Turner inspired the movement

They don’t wanna see us (losing our mind)

Some days I think we lost it already

We broke with the levees we were (losing out minds)

I remember 9th Wonder said it, shit

What happened to the music’s message? (Losing our minds)

We can’t forget about Malcolm and Betty

We gotta stay ready or we’ll be (losing our minds)

Slim pockets with no homes to live and no jobs to get

We’ll be (losing our minds)

War and racism, they hate us still

But we’ll fight until, until we’re all (losing our minds)

Like The Shining or Shutter Island, pray it never get violent

My mama told me class was always stylin’ (losing our mind)

They wildin’ because Obama made it

A Black man made it better and that’s why they hate us (losing our mind)

So never stop being what they hating, brilliant!

Keep being smart Black folk, shouts to the homie Millions! Oakland! (Losing our mind)

And to all the people that wrote in… you owe us!

How a porn star become the FLOTUS? (Losing our mind)

Is this what we want our girls to grow up in?

10% dis or paper thin, y’all ain’t seen the light (losing our mind)

I blame your parents, they ain’t raise you right

Losing our mind

Losing our mind

Losing our mind

Out of our minds

Losing our mind

Losing our mind
