Burning

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Come wid di fyah

Come wid di fyah di city burning down

Mi jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning

It a burn like a tire mi have a burning sound

And if wi try fi retire mi leave dem yearning

Nuttn cyaah out my flame, no it cyaah quench, cyaah cool, cyaah tame

Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down

So mi jus give him the fyah and mek it burn him

Koffee pon di street and cop inna di heat

Jeans pants an’ crocks, no socks deh pon mi feet

Knapsack weh mi a beat well pack up an’ it neat

Stay woke no sleep mi nuh likkle bo-peep

Money pon mi mind but mi neva ave a coin

Naah cuss mi jus a hustle Fi di pretty Dolla sign

A neva nuff fun time, life rough sometime

But mi know me an me mommy affi si di sunshine, dat's why me

Come wid di fyah di city burning down

Mi jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning

It a burn like a tire mi have a burning sound

And if wi try fi retire mi leave Dem yearning

Nuttn cyaah out my flame, no it cyaah quench, cyaah cool, cyaah tame

Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down

So mi jus give him the fyah and mek it burn him (Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn)

Mommy see mi doctor, granny seh mi preacher

Wah fi be a rasta, daddy see mi neata

Pita neva like dat so him tek di street a

Everybody born wid a talent yuh fi feature

Blessings in abundance, weh wi fi cherish each a

Neva be ungrateful, life is such a teacha

Have it pon upsetta track, see mi bring di heat ya

Come wid di fyah di city burning down

Mi jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning

It a burn like a tire mi have a burning sound

And if wi try fi retire mi leave dem yearning

Nuttn cyaah out my flame, no it cyaah quench, cyaah cool, cyaah tame

Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down

So mi jus give him the fyah and mek it burn him

Run up an’ down

'Ave dem a run up an' down

Yea a koffee deh yah wid di don sound, anytime mi come roun’

A madness pon di compound (Pon di compound)

Man a tun fool a tun clown

But Jah Jah cover mi journey, I beg yuh guide it (Cover mi journey)

An’ any trouble mi see, help mi avoid it (Trouble mi see)

Mi know seh anything mi need, God will provide it (Anything)

And he will still have a time for me beside it

Come wid di fyah di city burning down

Mi jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning

It a burn like a tire mi have a burning sound

And if wi try fi retire mi leave dem yearning

Nuttn cyaah out my flame, no it cyaah quench, cyaah cool, cyaah tame

Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down

So mi jus give him the fyah and mek it burn him (Burn, burn, burn, burn)
