  • Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Fire, fire, internal fire
    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while
    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Fire, fire, internal fire
    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while

    The price of hell has it's benefit's
    I pray you not be ignorant
    Clearly I am seeing with
    My all-seeing eye, no pyramid
    I, too, was a derelict
    The truth raised me from the dead
    When I became aware of it
    Riding Tony's coattails
    Now Tony in a cold cell
    Wife home, miss him a lot
    She might wait, she might not
    Looking at a whole family torn apart
    Man, this game colder than a whore's heart
    And we don't cop pleas
    Never mind snitching, we better not sneeze
    Did I scale them keys? You be the judge
    Every good boy deserves fudge

    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Fire, fire, internal fire
    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while
    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Fire, fire, internal fire
    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while

    Led to the slaughter, precious is the blood
    That stained the cross
    There's no greater love
    Like the days of Noah, no greater flood
    Than when them birds got shipped
    No turtledoves maybe a few chickens
    That I saved, for the drought
    When it was slim pickings
    Then with one touch my soul became quickened
    When I revisit my past
    My soul becomes sickened
    Clock's ticking, go check your Audemar
    The bezel on that Chopard will
    Only get you so far
    Mozart never tickled this many keys
    And your favorite emcees ain't who
    They claim to be
    The cat's out the bag, whoops! Shame on me
    I don't fear death
    They tell me it come in threes
    Be ye not deceived, we reap as we sow
    Life, too, comes in threes: Father, Son
    Holy Ghost

    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Fire, fire, internal fire
    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while
    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Fire, fire, internal fire
    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while

    Hell or high water, we gon' keep rollin'
    Looking in my watch it's
    Like hell freezed over
    Hell, money couldn't hold my composure
    Bull in a china shop
    That's how I'm bulldozin'
    Gene found God, they thinking we at odds
    Must ain't know my father
    He ain't never spared a rod
    Yuugh! It's two sides to a card
    Just opposite ends of two peas in a pod

    And I owe it to my Granny
    Who instilled the fear of God
    In the heavens looking at me
    Receiving this Grammy nod
    The game camouflage like SWAT team riot gear
    Dudes is facades in this lane we pioneered
    Now they can't wait 'til we drop
    That's diarrhea
    I found God, the rest found jail like Madea
    That's what you get when you
    Pumping that Britney Spears
    Now how you gon' act at the
    Truth that's in your ear?

    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Fire, fire, internal fire
    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while
    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Fire, fire, internal fire
    Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
    Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while Writer/s: GENE ELLIOTT THORNTON, MICHAEL GOODWIN, TERRENCE THORNTON
