Bonda - Flames lyrics

rate me

Hook:

Oh, oh, oh

You're going up in flames

And nobody wanna take the blame!

Don't tell me how to live my life

When you never felt the pain!

So have you ever felt the pain

Have you ever felt the shame

The thoughts of ending everything and blowing out your brains!

But, then you stop yourself

by thinking bout' your momma's face

And all the members of your family crying gathered around a case.

Cause I have seen it many times, I hate to say

So rest in peace to Larry, Cam and Barry and my homie TK.

I guess the Lord just hadn't planned it as my fate. And, so he sent me

down an angel dawg I think that it was Clay!

And then I knew I had a problem and acknowledged it

And gave my life to God above and let Him be in charge of it.

Cause ain't no other way that I could beat something that hard to kick.

And, then I had to spread the word and grab a mic and start to spit!

But, just remember that the devil want's to tread and

put an end to your parade and never stop until your dead.

And so he thrives with bad vibes and then he quickly starts to spread

Cause I can hear him too, and this is what he says. You're going up in Flames!

Hook:

Going up in flames!

And nobody wanna take the blame!

Don't tell me how to live my life

When youuuu never felt the pain!

Listen up, baby bro!

Uh, my baby brother blessed to play the game he love.

A close to twenty year relationship with him the ball and glove

He's also overcame his share, I guess it's in his blood

Cause as a kid they said his size and talent would never be enough!

And I remember from around when he was 9

and something happened where I guess he got confused about the sign. His coach had started raging on him, made the youngn' cry. But then he wiped away his tears and all a sudden came alive.

The kid was zonin you could see it in his eyes.

He started striking out the batters like he barely had to try.

Kept the same mentality throughout the years and got some size

And now he's six foot, buck nine, And nearly touching 95.

"I'm getting drafted Ben how much you wanna bet?" I told him keep your focus, clear your mind and practice from the stretch.

And when they call your name, put that fitted cap upon your head

And just remember baby brother what they said!

You're going up in flames!

Hook:

You're going up in flames

(You're going under!)

And nobody wanna take the blame!

Don't tell me how to live my life

When youuuu never felt the pain!

(Check it, yeah!)

They wanna spray me down with gasoline and watch me burn!

They tell me I'mma fail regardless of how hard I work!

They try to play it off, by faking like the're all concerned to treat me like a child and tell me more you live, the more you learn!

They wanna scare me into thinking maybe I should run!

They say this industry just really ain't for anyone!

For me to make it, I'mma need a damn phenomenon

But I be shaking off the doubters like my name Olajuwon!

Uh, cause now I'm living out the dream,

My mind is on the prize, my body clean from all the lean.

My grind is on a hundred and my spirit so serene

ain't got the time to let a hater try to knock my self-esteem.

My Lord has blessed me with a second chance at life

And now the goal that I've been shooting for is clearly in my sights.

My struggle gave me all the fuel I needed to ignite

And now I'm so hot, you're damn right, I'm going up in flames!

Hook:

Flames, I'm going up in flames, aha!

And nobody wanna take the blame!

Don't tell me how to live my life

When youuuu never felt the pain!

(I'll make you feel it!) aha!

Oh, I'm going up in flames, aha!

And nobody wanna take the blame!

Don't tell me how to live my life

When youuuu never felt the pain!
