I'm on Fire

NAS

4

Uh

Woke up this morning on some white linen sheets

The bed almost caught ablazeThe temperature′s on a hundred in the room

I'm like what′s up?

Still got the same flame behind me from the Hate Me Now video

It's continual

All I need is a beat and I'm stitchin′ you

Like stitchin′ these words together, how I'm still getting better

I′m finding more gold as I dig in the dirt with a shovel

I got the last laugh, don't get blown away by the backdraft

(I′m on fire)

Don't be scared now

(I′m on fire)

Don't be scared now

(I'm on fire)

Givin′ em hell now

His on fire

I′m startin' to see ′em sweat

(I'm on fire)

Don′t be scared now

(I'm on fire)

Don′t be scared now

(I'm on fire)

I'm givin′ ′em hell now

Tryin' to walk in my soles is like bare feet on hot coals

Soon as I start heatin′ up the whole block froze

I came in without an ordinary name

How many Nasirs? How many top tier?

How many not here?

There's something in the name that′s different from theirs

Depicted in scripture holdin' two dragons blowin′ flames

Sorry it ain't go the same for y'all

They say Allah, please explain Allah

You Godbody or do you praise Allah?

And still rock crosses all on your chain a lot

I′m scorchin′

And I never forced it

Even when forces and powers that be went against me

Y'all use that as an excuse

You dudes cannot convince me

Or trick me out my spot, y′all want my shit like Sherman Hemsley

I'm debunking the black ball myth

The facts more or less

I might hurt your feelings but, yo, sometimes it actually is

Victimization, mix that with some entitlement

It′s bound to explode

I make 'em stop, drop, and roll

Move to the side with it

There′s no stoppin' it

I'm rap′s arsonist

(I′m on fire)

Don't be scared now

(I′m on fire)

Don't be scared now

(I′m on fire)

Givin' ′em hell now

His on fire

I'm startin' to see ′em sweat

(I′m on fire)

Don't be scared now

(I′m on fire)

Don't be scared now

(I′m on fire)

I'm givin′ 'em hell now

I must say I am what I am

(I'm on fire)

They said I wouldn′t survive, look at me, damn

(I′m on fire)

Like the tip of the barrel that's on a wham

(I′m on fire)

He's on fire, NBA Jam

I was all, I was alone like, you know

I was making some moves, I need to like concentrate and chill, but

I was, I was just getting all these calls and everything

And it′s telling me like you on fire
