Keyone Starr - "Fire"

Fire

Been living up to these expectations
It's like a marathon
I stand up strong and keep it true to myself
Work hard and get it done (Work hard and get it done)

I'm 'bout my all and choosin' all mistakes
It's time to put them all aside
Out of the flames, I wash away the shame
You bury me, and still I rise

I tried to hold my tongue, it didn't last too long
I'm filled with all the smoke, it's all up in my soul
Just like fire
Shadow (Shadow)
Shadow (Shadow)
In my bones
Fire (Fire)
Shadow (Shadow)
Shadow (Shadow)
In my bones
Fire (Fire)
Shadow (Shadow)
Shadow (Shadow)
Shadow in my bones just like fire

Sing hallelujah (Hallelujah) when the pressure's on
Hell has no fury like a woman scorned
Throw sticks and stones and try to hide their hands
Heart of a saint, far from the promised land

I'm done trippin', I finally let it go
Was living bad, but still it made me grow
I want to win and that's one thing I know
Truth is blamed for why I never grow
Good God, Mississippi's burnin' (Burnin')
For a change, I'm yearnin'

I tried to hold my tongue, it didn't last too long
I'm filled with all the smoke, it's all up in my soul
Just like fire
Shadow (Shadow)
Shadow (Shadow)
In my bones
Fire (Fire)
Shadow (Shadow)
Shadow (Shadow)
In my bones
Fire (Fire)
Shadow (Shadow)
Shadow (Shadow)
Shadow in my bones just like fire

I tried to hold my tongue, it didn't last too long
I'm filled with all the smoke, it's all up in my soul
Just like fire
Shadow (Shadow)
Shadow (Shadow)
In my bones
Fire (Fire)
Shadow (Shadow)
Shadow (Shadow)
In my bones
Fire (Fire)
Shadow (Shadow)
Shadow (Shadow)
Shаdow in my bones juѕt like fire
