<strong>Fire In The Booth Lyrics</strong>

These are words of a broken man

Working a hopeless plan

Hoping the plan will work

Watching the candle burn

The hour hand turns

When will we have our turn

I wish you had a heart

Yeah

How desperate does somebody have to be to have you help him?

Since when has anyone got anywhere from acting selfish?

I stay alone at night wonder why I ain't rolling right

Snakes try convince me my friends are tryna control my life

That's a load of hype I chose to mic the stage and name Righteous

Write it on the page along with the date

I wouldn't say it's not a game

It's the biggest game that's full of snakes

And little fakes that get my face but nothing comes on dinner plates

So still I pray, still I stay down with the same pals that i've been from day

Big mistake tried to run didn't get away

Trick move especially after everything that we've been through

The world shares different views, big...

Window, bars, intro, instro, task

Why am I the one that gets the info last?

After all this... then I take a big o blast

Cause this no bar, listen

Searching for value happiness hurts

Kelsey what happened to her

Like so many of us trapped in the dirt

The passions of curse, we all say we had it the worst

Yeah you had it bad, least you ain't in the back of that hearse

That's when it's done, I reach for the speaker capture your love

We trapped in the slum, look what the manor has done to us

But has the undercut become another number

Stop judging us, I got love for everyone of ya

We denied that we can only advance

And those that think they can't are lost in their art

Mind lost in their heart, body lost in their mind

So go back to the start, back to the passion the past

You are not gonna find the man that you are

If you cower in the face of the challenge travel your path

I ain't tryna rap for a car or rap for a gun

Or rap for a gyal that's gonna max out my cards

See me, I rap for the man that hasn't got guns

Infact hasn't got anything that anything you spat in that bar

That's why I spat in your face cause you was flashing your papes

You see my mandem are real and your mandem are Drakes

Straight, in other word fakes

You think i'ma turn 8th of this game, keep your deal

You're too gay i'm too straight just to appeal to the women

I believe if you're real, they'll just feel what you're spitting

It's an evil world we live in, our children are in it

That's why your children are loose, that's why your children are missing

All you've got is dirty dishes and bills in the kitchen

It's real when you've seen it, I feel like i'm slipping up

Never dissing my...

Are you questioning am I real enough, maybe i've over-did it

Is it I ain't did enough?

I don't want my real fans to look at me in disgust and discuss about me like

"Why is he always tryna make a number one?" It's a must.

But this ain't changing me, I still have the same beliefs

I can scream free Palestine for my pride still pray for peace

Still burn the feds for the brutality they've spread over the world

Pakistan's an ocean, bodies in the brown water floating still nobody helps

I have to take a hold of myself cause right now I feel to bang my head against this flipping desk

They want my commercial side, trust me this ain't one of them

Sorry if I messed up, yo I just want your love again

Cause this is 'bout as real as i'ma get

You the ones that represent and will til there's nothing left

Once again never dissing my...

You the ones I can't forget, let me explain from start til end

When I ripped my first bar it wasn't after rep

Nah blood, I did it for expression

In the hope you can relate to my past and present

But when you haven't got a friend, mother and your father's left

All you've got is words, cardboard and a friggin' Parker pen

And the love you once had at the start, starts to end

Inside you die, fam i'm like how can I provide for my family or my mandem on some 9 til 5

That's why I try, with the one thing that I can do in this life of mine

And that is write these bars because our lives are hard

And this music is our light in the dark, i'm tryna shine

So forgive me if that's wrong but for my conscious listener, this is your song like

Some music we make for the shelves but this music dawg we make for ourselves

And this for you, from our hearts cause you know we mean it

We speak about your daily struggles cause we've lived and seen it

And that's why the mission is to act now

Axe realising that your life is real no acts wow

So while the UK's flying, i'ma jump on board

So for my avid listener, this is who I done this for

I don't wanna die without saying goodbye

So for this bar I will savour my past

Yeah, cause it may be my last

So just incase I don't make it to yard

Sorry for the pain i've caused

Give me heaven i'm afraid of the dark

This music is a place in my heart

Tryna answer all these bleedin' questions in life

Leave me guessing like a game of charades, check

It would be wrong for me to pray to Allah

I shouldn't really be putting his name in this bar

You can't abide by Islam and get raised by the dogs, ruff

And it was either take it or starve yeah

But they were my dark days, abandoned by my family left in Margate

Whatever your art, express your heartache

And i'm with you all the way unless you can't change

What good is being laughed at when you're grafting

Look on the palms of my hands, that's 'ard skin

Juggling with life, i'm trying not to drop the balls

Think i'm a fool for your tricks?

Not a fool, wasn't fit, not a tool, not a kid, not at all, not a bit

And at school I wasn't ish

So I bunked off, jumped over the boo

I wasn't missed, just misunderstood

If I could take it all back, i'd say "Miss, burn your books!"

Cause there ain't nothing you can teach man

I'll shut this ish down, dreamland

All I give a uck about is me rap with... and every single fan that we have

We have to hit the lab, now the hits are in the bag

When it finally hits the streets, feel free to leave your feedback

We never left the reign, no point in saying we back

Naw, and yeah i'm fed up with these man

Straight bluffers, ones that say something but don't mean that

And bruv, this ain't about your peace fam

It's more about the fact you're never there when we need man

But who was at the gates when they freed man? Us.

I just blame me cause I let the greed lead man

Cause I gave you them things on strap, knowing you weren't in a position to pay me back

It's crazy currency can change the way we act

It made me arrogant, I may be mad

But i'd rather get jumped by an 18 man, than become some poor mum's baby's dad

Cause that right there is my worst nightmare, coming true I wouldn't know what the uck to do

Or who to call cause that'll be the day that I lose it all

I still love you like the first time, do you recall that?

I'm the one they used to call tack

But now i'm just Mic so you can fall back

Yo, play this track at my funeral fam, it's the beauty of rap

You can kill me and even when i'm dead, I will live through the music I made

I'm such a musical man, this ain't your usual track

Naw, it's real because it's how I feel how truthful is that?

It's real because it's how I feel, i'm truthful but blood

Naw I don't know why I did that

I writ the hook like you was in for a chick track

But this ain't about no bird and I don't care if the words aren't commerically acceptable

Cause that's what they expect of you, i'm 'bout to burst

Running out of nerve, of all this blood you're 'bout to bust

Turn your back on them brothers they doubting us yeah how absurd

When I was young I never understood the amount of work it took to get your album heard

But when you're young, you ain't so down to earth

Now i'm so down to earth, i'm below the surface

How concerned were you for me when I was eating out of bins?

I used to cherish every pound I get, now I cherish every pound I earn

And now i'm earning pounds, I learn that i've been running round in circles

Tryna figure out my worth, this world is only out to hurt you
