The Fire Lyrics - How I Got Over - The Roots

Ohh, the fire, the fire 

Ohh, the fire, the fire 

There's something in your heart 

And it's in your eyes 

It's the fire, inside you 

Let it burn 

You don't say good luck 

You say, "Don't give up" 

It's the fire, inside you 

Let it burn 

Yeah, and if I'm ever at the crossroads 

And start feeling mixed signals like Morse code 

My soul start to grow colder than the North Pole 

I try to focus on the hole of where the torch goes

In the tradition of these legendary sports pros 

As far as I can see, I've made it to the threshold 

Lord knows I've waited for this a lifetime 

And I'm an icon when I let my light shine 

Shine bright as an example of a champion 

Taking the advantage, never copping out or cancelling 

Burn like a chariot, learn how to carry it 

Maverick, always above and beyond average 

Fuel to the flame that I train with and travel with 

Something in my eyes say I'm so close to having the prize 

I realize I'm supposed to reach for the skies 

Never let somebody try to tell you otherwise 

There's something in your heart 

And it's in your eyes 

It's the fire, inside you 

Let it burn

You don't say good luck 

You say, "Don't give up" 

It's the fire, inside you 

Let it burn 

One love, one game, one desire 

One flame, one bonfire, let it burn higher 

I never show signs of fatigue or turn tired 

'Cause I'm the definition of tragedy turned triumph 

It's David and Goliath, I made it to the eye of the storm 

Feeling torn like they fed me to the lions 

Before my time start to wind down like the Mayans 

I show 'em how I got the grind down like a science 

It sounds like a riot on hush, it's so quiet 

The only thing I hear is my heart, I'm inspired 

By the challenge that I find myself standing eye to eye with 

Then move like a wise warrior and not a coward 

You can't escape the history that you was meant to make 

That's why the highest victory is what I'm meant to take 

You came to celebrate, I came to sever great 

I hate losing, I refuse to make the same mistake 

Ohh, the fire, the fire 

Ohh 

There's something in your heart 

(The fire) 

There's something in your heart 

(The fire) 

There's something in your heart 

And it's in your eyes 

It's the fire, inside you 

Let it burn 

You don't say good luck 

You say, "Don't give up" 

It's the fire, inside you 

Let it burn 

Ohh, the fire inside you 

The fire inside you 

The fire inside you 

The fire inside you
