  • Oh, the fire, the fire
    Oh, the fire, the fire

    There's something in your heart
    And it's in your eyes
    It's the fire
    Inside you
    Let it burn
    You don't say good luck
    You say don't give up
    It's the fire
    Inside you
    Let it burn

    Yeah, and if I'm ever at the crossroads
    And start feeling mixed signals like Morse code
    My soul starts to grow colder than the North Pole
    I try to focus on the whole of where the torch goes
    In the tradition of these legendary sports pros
    As far as I can see, I've made it to the threshold
    Lord knows I've waited for this a life time
    And I'm an icon when I let my light shine
    Shine bright as an example of a champion
    Taking the advantage, never copping out or canceling
    Burn like a chariot, learn how to carry it
    Maverick, always above and beyond average
    Fuel to the flame that I train with and travel with
    Something in my eyes says I'm so close to having the prize
    I realize I'm supposed to reach for the skies
    Never let somebody try to tell you otherwise

    There's something in your heart
    And it's in your eyes
    It's the fire
    Inside you
    Let it burn
    You don't say good luck
    You say don't give up
    It's the fire
    Inside you
    Let it burn

    One love, one game, one desire
    One flame, one bonfire, let it burn higher
    I never show signs of fatigue or turn tired
    'Cause I'm the definition of tragedy turned triumph
    It's David and Goliath I made it to the eye of the storm
    Feeling torn like they fed me to the lions
    Before my time starts to wind down like the Mayans
    I show 'em how I got the grind down like a science
    It sounds like a riot on hush it's so quiet
    The only thing I hear is my heart, I'm inspired
    By the challenge that I find myself standing eye to eye with
    Then move like a wise warrior and not be a coward
    You can't escape the history that you was meant to make
    That's why the highest victory is what I'm meant to take
    You came to celebrate, I came to cerebrate
    I hate losing, I refuse to make the same mistake

    Oh, the fire, the fire
    Oh
    (The fire)
    There's something in your heart
    (The fire)

    There's something in your heart
    And it's in your eyes
    It's the fire
    Inside you
    Let it burn
    You don't say good luck
    You say don't give up
    It's the fire
    Inside you
    Let it burn

    Oh, the fire
    Inside you
    The fire
    Inside you
    The fire
    Inside you Writer/s: Ahmir K. Thompson, Karl B. Jenkins, Richard A. Friedrich, Tarik L. Collins
