AmGFG
Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion
AmGFG
Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on Mount Zion
AmG
Rub me the wrong way, taking the highway
FG
Rubbing sticks together but your fire's man-made
AmG
Capitalize on hot air, soar like an airplane
F
Yearn to rise in the sky quick high like cocaine
G
False pride is suicide but you've got nothing to gain
Am
Babylon's buildings raise like flames
G
Drowning in their champagne
FG
Explosion pulled the pin in the hand grenade
AmG
Soul stain blowing up, in your own domain
FG
Fire crackers ohh and aah, but they never maintain
Bridge:
FG
Fires burning, flames are dancing
AmG
Don't burn the house down Lord
FGAmG
Heavenly fire only resides on an altar made from the ground
ChorusAmG
One pair of eyes
FG
But see two different things
AmGFG
One person cries but the other one sings
AmG
You walk around like everybody owes ya something
FG
Take what you got, thank God for all that life brings
AmG
The poor man has it all but not content with anything
FG
While the rich man's hands are empty but he's sitting like a king
BridgeDmG
Backpack's getting heavy, moving at a steady pace
AmEm
Carrying bricks on your shoulders and lead around your waist
DmAm
Making way, run in haste, there is no time to taste
Em
What you ate, we should be grateful got a plateful
Fire burns like ice morsels falling fire like rain

Some of them don't know where to be, some of them don't know where to go
AmC
Some of them trust their instincts ,that somethings missing from the show
AmC
Some don't fit society, their insides are crying low

Some of them teachers squashed the flame, 'fore it had a chance to grow

Some of them embers still glow , them charcoal hushed and low

Some of them come with hunger suppressed, not fed them feel the death blow yo

Meet me on the football field, don't sleep on field, the quarterback

No one clapped when we locked in, it was removal of our class

And embrace the honesty found within our tension, What's good?
ChorusRiffAm
Trapped in the elevator of your mind
Is it real, what will you find behind the door
Your imaginations put you in a bind
Around you there's a cloud of gloom
Swallow the key, lock yourself in a room
Can't see outside of your universe
C
No more war, there won't be anymore hunger
Em
No jealousy, not even competition
Dm
Let go, release, you hold the keys
Em
Time we evaporate into the breeze
C
We are nothing, we are something
Em
Let go, release, you hold the keys
Dm
It's time we evaporate into the breeze

Welcome to the desert of my soul
