Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mother said
Look now at that fire
You're a lasty
[Verse 2]
One by one, I watch 'em run
And then they pass me
All look back, say save me lost my light
Got my hip in the door
And my foot on the drive
All get set, taking my mark
Nothing to lose, I got nothing but heart
[Verse 3]
Take you to your knees
Left us in the dark
Feeling all this heat
Ooh, ignite our spark
[Verse 4]
To your knees
Left us in the dark
Feeling all this heat
Ooh, now I'm gon' take 'em back
I'm gon' take 'em back
[Verse 5]
Mother said, looking at the sky
Who will the last be?
One by one, I watched them die
I said don't ask me
[Verse 6]
Laid on my back, this'll be the night
Pin my head to the ground
Got my eye on the prize
Officer
I'm taking the fall
You woke him up fool
Beast is coming for y'all
[Verse 7]
Take you to your knees
Left us in the dark
Feeling all this heat
Ooh, ignite our spark
[Verse 8]
To your knees
Left us in the dark
Feeling all this heat
Ooh, now I'm gon' take 'em back
[Verse 9]
Take you to your knees
Left us in the dark
Feeling all this heat
Ooh, ignite our spark
[Verse 10]
To your knees
Left us in the dark
Feeling all this heat
Ooh, now I'm gon' take 'em back
I'm gon' take 'em back
