Who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire You know we sick and tired of struggling We put our hands up with middle fingers to the government Head first into that water till that water started bubbling We should have paid attention to the dark clouds hovering Now imma keep it real I often wonder how it feels To be a black republican and have a couple mill We went from king and queen to picking cotton in the fields Took the diamonds out our chain and then we put em in the grill If the slave owner tripping tell that bitch he better chill Or we gone leave him stanking like a viking in the hills We might just take his wife and slit her throat and give her gills Fighting fire with the fire just to show u how it feels They just hung another brother R.I.P. to Emmett Till They don't give a nigga justice they just pass another bill Then they feed us with that fake shit and try to hide the real and Then they wonder why we wanna pop another pill They expect us to be silent while they kill us with a virus Now its time to be a tyrant we reacting with the violence Ok who gone take me higher please pass me a lighter I already got the gas come and help me start a fire Fucking right let's start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Let it burn let that motherfucker burn Try to teach us to be civilized we ain't never learn We way too aggressive cause the poverty excessive We was watching Danny Glover tryna be a lethal weapon Now we watch our momma stressing while she praying for a blessing Try to teach us to be humble we ain't never get the message Now it feel like something missing cause our daddy wasn't present Now we dying in the streets cops teaching us a lesson We ain't listen to the reverend smoking weed at eleven But we still on our knees tryna make it into heaven That fire start to burn when that water lose leverage Why they put us in a can treat us like a cool beverage I didn't really understand why my people started crying But then I payed attention when my people started dying You know my whole life changed when I had my son Cyan Now it's time to be a man and show him how to be a giant You better duck and cover when them bullets start flying I've been living in the jungle but I move like a lion I aint tryna be defiant I'm just breaking down the science We are really just a client and they keep us in compliance but we finna start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire Now who gone start a fire
