Living In The Fire Lyrics

Columbus is less than a dozen homicides away

From setting the record for the most homicides

What concerns Columbus police

Is the number of victims and suspects who are just kids

Columbus leaders joining a town hall event

To discuss the recent string of police involved shootings

Columbus is among the top cities

Seeing year over year rent increases

In Ohio there are no rules

There are no laws that regulate rent increases

Everything is so expensive that you have to penny pinch

I penny pinch every day to just make it through

And make a meal for my babies

Everyone is scarred

Yea, yea

Everyone is scarred

Life will still go on so I gotta gotta go hard

Don't know my last day count up many more I pray

But I might lose my mind before I count 'em anyways

Damn

Lost too many niggas to police and street violence

Living in the fire gotta roll one up and light it

Look at the whole world baby why are you surprised

I'm getting high

Let me tell you why

They make you disrespect yo self to get a fuckin check

I can't lose myself you lose yo self ain't nothing left

I can't let shit slide I cut you off I don't accept

People thinking they can do me any way

When it's people that you really love it hurts the most

Said you'd always be there when I look around you ghost

Had to clear my mind I had to fly out to the coast

Now I'm locked in

Raise the curve like top bins

I just learned from my sins

Everyone is scarred

Life will still go on so I gotta gotta go hard

Don't know my last day count up many more I pray

But I might lose my mind before I count 'em anyways

Damn

Lost too many niggas to police and street violence

Living in the fire gotta roll one up and light it

Look at the whole world baby why are you surprised

I'm getting high

Let me tell you why

It seems like every day I lose some friends some family

Not always to death sometimes emotionally

Gotta drop 'em they dead weight

I'm poppin like the grease in the pan

You try to cool me down but you just a fan

Don't like my raps don't give a damn

I'm not surprised I had a plan

They can't stop a Black man

When he knows and understands himself

Take that book up off the shelf

They don't want you to read it

And it ain't just the jits they want the world to believe it

Better educate yourself

Everyone is scarred

Life will still go on so I gotta gotta go hard

Don't know my last day count up many more I pray

But I might lose my mind before I count 'em anyways

Damn

Lost too many niggas to police and street violence

Living in the fire gotta roll one up and light it

Look at the whole world baby why are you surprised

I'm getting high

Let me tell you why

It ain't just Joe man

Half the government needs to retire

And the fucking White House needs to be a little brighter

And my fucking student debt didn't make me any dollars

And my god dang rent keeps on getting fucking higher

And they fill the feeds with sex then they say sex sells

Rich elites be weird as fuck and they won't put 'em in a cell

But they locked my niggas up for what I stuff in a shell

You should stack yo pennies they get lost in wishing wells

My nigga I wish you well

Damn

Yea

Said my nigga I wish you well

We living in the fire yea it feels like hell

Sometimes but keep on praying keep yo mind keep yo health

Stop fishing in them wells and phishing niggas out they wealth

You can only be yourself and you gotta be your best

So keep following up dreams and in the fire you can rest
