Burn

[Verse 1:]

Diary of my life on the track

But what I started writing started writing back

And talkin bout my pops and moms

And them blocks and them bombs

Sometimes I wonder who sane, Barack or Sadaam

Cause them shots and yo them blocks they still the same homie

But in people's pockets all that's constant is change homie

Homie, I used to hang with the Wu-Tangers

'Til my mans got hit with 36 chambers

Swear I'm numb to it, so hardcore

Tryin' to undo it in my mind

But I'm off course in my Sudan thinkin' 'bout Darfur

Tryin' to let go of the pain and the bruises in my brain

It's so useless I just throw it to the flames

And then use that fuel for my fuses

Let it Burn

[Verse 2:]

I just departed from my home town

It's half dead closed own

Flags everywhere we been invaded by a ghost town

People in them projects they be fightin' in the field

I seen my homie switch sides

Turn to Vikings for the bills and

Steelers for the bucks

In the streets we was rebels we had beef with police

Duke'd it out the blue devils uh

My retrospecs' on I'm drained

I'm swerving through memory lane

Foot to the pedal tryin' to sustain

Swear I'm numb to it, so hardcore tryin' to undo it in my mind

But I'm off course in my Sudan thinkin' 'bout Darfur

Trying to let go of the pain and the bruises in my brain

It's so useless I just throw it to the flames

And then use that fuel for my fuses

Let it Burn

[Verse 3:]

Let me be clear it's a been spell

If you been here it's been hell

If you can't tell is hard to exhale when u inhale

See these students, no grammar

Hella high school on campus

Why it feel like every child life behind's the fucking standard

Ghetto Americana

Church's prayin why ain't no changes grandma

It's because it's unanswered questions unquestioned answers

Hella C.O.'s no C.E.O's

Hella subway sandwhich artistses

No heroes a lot people goin crazy

Don't see dough, lotta ego

So the attitude that we know

Is I; ll put you in a box if I'm P.O.'d

That's pissed off, that's postal

A lot of people be posted

Both sides of the block, no free throw

Amigo, I'm out chea next to Reverend Rollo Goodlove play'n Cee-Lo

Hella coppers, no halos

Hella Doctors, no payrolls

See hell has held us hostage and we still think hell is hot shit

See I'm fired up for the mamas

Hella fired up for they daughters

See times up time to rise up and turn they wines into water

So put ya problems to a lighter (Let it burn)

We are now fightin' fire with fire (Let it Burn)

Light up all ya fears and ya doubts until they are undone

Melt ya problems and send 'em to the other side of the sun

Let It Burn
