World On Fire - Chris Webby, Jon Connor, Skrizzly Adams

Hey, they’re calling

They’re calling my name

I got the whole world on fire

And I ain’t going away

I been real through all this

Staring straight at the flame

I got the whole world on fire

And I ain’t going away

I ain’t going away

Standing tall, head high, doing what I wanna do

If I fall, I get up, I done came too far to lose

Pushing through, pick it up, even when my body’s tired

I got enough drive inside to set the fucking world on fire

What can you do for me now?

Used to the enemy shooting me down

But truthfully how

Can you try to stop me when truth can be found?

And knowing that life is a lesson

No question what you could be now

We let this aggression take over and over and over

A chip on our shoulder get bigger, ignore what they told us

I told you I was a soldier (yeah)

Never quit, don’t fall

If I do, I apologize y’all

Might slip, won’t trip

To be real, shit, I idolize y’all

Why?

Cause if you hear me now

You ain’t take the easy way out

You knew it was light at the end of the tunnel

When you couldn’t see a way out

Faith is what you can’t teach

Haters may say what you can’t reach

As long as I stay playing these beats

At the end of my day, y’all I’m at peace

Peace of mind, I’mma just ease my mind

Relieved with the peace I find

And ease my rhymes, I need my time

Somebody out there might need these lines

Yep, I got you, ain’t a choice no more, I got to

Ain’t nobody’s word’s gone stop you

Don’t cry homeboy that’s not you

Look, when it ain’t easy I know that

Been came too close can’t go back

Your dream is yours, believe that

Yep, even when the world can’t see that

I see that, that’s real

Told myself I got this shit (is this my time?)

Better hope to God it is

Losing my mind (show me a sign)

I’m no astrologist (but I just need to know)

Cause I really put everything I got in this

When all I had was empty bank accounts and broken promises

Life ain’t like the comics, ain’t no Superman to save the day

Ain’t no one to clear the road, it’s on you to pave the way

Get your dreams tatted up, never let em fade away

And toughen up that skin and disregard what all them haters say

Listen I been through all that too

What you think I ain’t been down on my luck?

I’m dealing with shit on the daily, it’s driving me crazy

But I ain’t about to give up

Keeping my family close so I can know everybody around me I trust

Now I got Earth right up in my hands

Get ready cause this shit about to combust, what?

I’m not lying when I’mma say

That the world could end tomorrow, set fire to it today

(Homegrown!)

Ay, we really ain’t too different after all

Im tryna find my happy place and you’re welcome to tag along

I know what it’s like sometimes when you feel like it’s over

Cause everything that’s wrong goes right when it’s all for the fight

Handle yours like a soldier, and make em say…

I know what it’s like sometimes when you feel like it’s over

Cause everything that’s wrong goes right when it’s all for the fight

Give it up like I told ya, and make em say…

I got, I got, I got the world on fire man

I got, I got, I got the world on fire man

I got, I got the world on fire!
