The Fire Next Time

[Verse 1] Been dreaming since I was yay high I ain't talking 'bout Ye's height - No stage fright Young buck in the world - Wide eyes Silver lining, grey skies, white lies 21 - Pops saw me in the airport Crossed paths - Never met him, uh, therefore A parallel for this life shit You might wish for things - They'll unfold with a slight twist Before you watch it pass by Not even knowing you watching it pass by Stones thrown from a world you don't know Real life - No road you won't go No denying I've been eyeing like a lion since I'll be damned - If my hand ain't an iron fist Uh...it's the passion that inspired this Yeah...and I'll be back when the fire hits Chorus 2x You won't see me for long, long, long, long, long When you look, I'll be gone, gone, gone, gone, gone [Verse 2] New York, New York My muse let me peruse the skyline for views Nine lives to lose Drawing inspiration, don't mind if I do Fuck a who's who, that sideline's for you, uh The city gives power to some Cannibal instinct, might devour the young, uh Feel the fire in my belly Ringing the bell in the belly of the beast My optimism sat barely deceased, rejuvenated with peace Like the bright lights illuminating the streets, I shine So rich in the dark, obituary to read No bitch in this heart, it beats To the rhythm of my hunger pains From dawn - I respond to the sun in flames Me against the world - Only one remains Before the sun sets look what I'll become next No regrets, initially perplexed Actions speak faith but first my words flex Probably shrivel to bones finding the perfect time Here to kill your momentum, nobody's murking mine Reality bites with canine teeth The world looking at you like "That ain't my beef", uh Lost time ain't nothing to cry over When you build a life, you're willing to die over Nigga... Chorus 2x You won't see me for long, long, long, long, long When you look, I'll be gone, gone, gone, gone, gone Hook Can't quit now, I'd be wrong That's the type of shit that I'll be on I got heart, you'll see I'm bold I got dreams I'll see unfold You say I should wait on God While you pray I'll play my part
