Doc Shui - Burn It Down Lyrics

I'm a Negro too
I came from zero
From nothing
I came through segregation discrimination
I was held up, held down, blackjacked, and shot through the grease
I know what it means to be black and walk through the fire

Yeah
Burn it down
Yeah
Burn it down
Livin' in my mind
Try to escape the prison
I can't make it all the time (right?)
I say burn it down

Yeah
Back in the day
I had that fire
Lotta dirt on my tires
Cops chasin'
No priors

For a long time
Dreamed 'bout the day
I set my soul free

Whole world gon' notice me
Cll off of my poetry

Strugglin' to keep faith in myself wit' nothin' produced
Now I'm buyin' up suits
Settin' fire to this booth

The truth is
I'm climbin'
It's really all about timin'
I just never stopped grindin'
I ain't trippin
My linin' silver

Yeah
Burn it down
Yeah
Burn it down
Livin' in my mind
Try to escape the prison
I can't make it all the time (right?)
I say burn it down

Cll I ever need is time
Sometimes I can't express
This crazy hunger in my mind (yeah)
Tryin' to prove myself
When my survival on the line (yeah)
Know my jumper wet
But I been ridin' on the pine (like)

Don't nobody know I got that fire in my soul (for real)
Tell me I can't do it
Not gon' ever let it go (for real)

Try your best to hold me
I'm gon' leave you comatose (for real)

Hands around my throat
Don't play wit' me
Never choke
'Bout to burn it down

I'm flame retardant
Soldiers get it the hardest (yeah, yeah)
But I imparted
Gems, tell me you caught it (yeah, yeah)

Been the greatest
Know yo latest can't compete
Don't need no reasons
I believe in myself
Never concede I'm on fire

(okay) I'll take my liquor on the rocks
Know my mission never stop
Make it quick
I'm on the clock

Don't say nothin' you gon' take back
This payback
I'm livin' out my passion
If I'm crashin' out
Sweat to God
I'm gon' leave it burnin'

Yeah
Burn it down
Yeah
Burn it down
Livin' in my mind
Try to escape the prison
I can't make it all the time (right?)
I say burn it down
