Lyrics Fight Fire - Urthboy, NAY, Mantra

Fight Fire

Now I’m gonna put it down on this one for D
Yo, don’t let them get in the way of your swagger, man
Now I live by the motto where I choose my own battles
Do I look like I need the petty hassles?
Sure I’m with The Herd
But I ain’t caught up in the politics of cattle
You can push but don’t think that you’ll knock me off the saddle
My job, my role, my love, is a black artform
I’m a teacup that carried the storm
My needs, my ways, my means, something outta the norm
Giving shape to what hasn’t been drawn and
That requires a little of Ali and Erik Satie
Boutros Boutros Ghali, solemn gotta party
But up from them calm waters rise tsunamis
The eyes conceal the kamikaze
That’s a divine wind, crush an uprising
You be the bouncer and I’ll be the lightning
And I’ll be the left hook that’s sinking your right wing
Motherfucker drop quicker than on an ice rink uh!
Make no mistake, we’ll fight fire
With this fire, we can settle it
Don’t forget that we’ll fight fire
With this fire, you can bet on it
Make no mistake, we’ll fight fire
With this fire, we can settle it
Don’t forget that we’ll fight fire
With this fire, you can bet on it
They got so much to to say but so much less to do
And I’m not hatin' on you I’ve just heard better than you
You should go and get your mind right but you keep on playing a part
Searching for that limelight but haters get left in the dark
And they keep knocking, knock on the door of opportunity
While I’m not stopping picking the lock off this industry
Even though they say I’m more welcome in a penitentiary
Or cemetery like Doomadgee it’s hard to see the reasons
To keep up with trends and the friends that you like to follow
I’m doin' it, I do it like the rent is due tomorrow
On this beat is right where my heart is
My home is where my art is, you can bet on this
We gonna finish what you started
Make no mistake, we’ll fight fire
With this fire, we can settle it
Don’t forget that we’ll fight fire
With this fire, you can bet on it
Make no mistake, we’ll fight fire
With this fire, we can settle it
Don’t forget that we’ll fight fire
With this fire, you can bet on it
Time to get their about the same old shit
TIme — time about the same old shit
And when it comes time to battling, they don’t want
They don’t want
They don’t want
It goes, eye on the prize, head in the clouds
Ear to the ground, finger on the pulse of the town
Skulking around, if you got an itchy digit on a trigger pull it
Just be sure it’s loaded with garlic and silver bullets
'Cos ain’t no telling what’ll land us in intensive care
Steady rhymin' to the crack of military snares
Guerrilla journalist mind frame, lurk in the mist
Genuine article burning in my brain
Circling my veins, unafraid of living dangerously
Unashamed so I readjust my aim
Fly folkloric, atom splittin'
I’m spittin' acid at 'em my lyrics hydrochloric
(Going to show) you gotta be watching the quiet ones
Small unassuming squids about to take down a giant one
True Elefant Traks level a minefield
Let 'em fire on us they ain’t fuckin' with strongwill
Make no mistake, we’ll fight fire
With this fire, we can settle it
Don’t forget that we’ll fight fire
With this fire, you can bet on it
Make no mistake, we’ll fight fire
With this fire, we can settle it
Don’t forget that we’ll fight fire
With this fire, you can bet on it
