Burning

Oo oo oo ooh

Oo oo oo ooh (come wid di fire)

Come wid di fire di city burning

Now me jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning

It a bun like a tire me have a burning sound

And if we try fi retire me leave dem yearning

Nuttin' can out my flame, no it cyaan' quench, cyaan' cool, can tame

Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down

So mi jus give him the fire and mek it burn him

Koffee pon di street and cop inna di heat, jeans pants an' Crocs

No socks deh pon mi feet, knapsack weh mi a beat well pack up an' it neat

Stay woke no sleep mi nuh likkle Bo Peep

Money pon mi mind but mi neva 'ave a coin nah

Cuss mi jus a hustle fi di pretty dolla sign

Ah neva nuff fun time, life rough sometime

But mi know me an me mommy haffi si di sunshine

Dats why me come wid di fire di city burning

Now mi jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning

It a bun like a tire me have a burning sound

And if we try fi retire me leave dem yearning

Nuttin' can out my flame, no it cyaan' quench, cyaan' cool, can tame

Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down

So mi jus give him the fire and mek it burn him (burn, burn, burn, burn, burn)

Seet 'ya what become ah Peter?

Mommy seh be doctor, granny seh be preacher

Wan' fi be a rasta, Daddy be neater

Peter neva like dat so him tek di streets

Everybody born wid a talent yuh fi feature

Blessings in abundance, weh we fi cherish each

Neva be ungrateful, life is such a teacher

Koffee pon Upsetta track, see mi bring di heat 'ya

Come wid di fire di city burning

Now me jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning

It a bun like a tire me have a burning sound

And if we try fi retire me leave dem yearning

Nuttin' can out my flame, no it cyaan' quench, cyaan' cool, can tame

Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down

So mi jus give him the fire and mek it burn him

Run up an' down

'Ave dem a run up an' down

Yeah, ah Koffee deh yah wid di don sound, anytime mi come roun'

Ah madness pon di compound

Man ah tun fool ah tun clown

But Jah Jah cover mi journey

I beg you guide it, an' any trouble mi see (trouble mi see)

Help mi avoid it, mi know seh anything mi need God will provide it (anything)

Anywhere still water deh, him lead me beside it

Come wid di fire di city burning

Now mi jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning

It a bun like a tire mi have a burning sound

And if wi try fi retire mi leave dem yearning

Nuttin' can out my flame, no it cyaan' quench, cyaan' cool, can tame

Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down

So mi jus give him the fire and mek it burn him
