The Fire Next Time Lyrics - Vic Mensa

Out of the fire I found a fire inside 

You can see the pain still alive in my eyes 

I've loved and I've lost 

Through heaven and hell 

Turn they back on me too many times to turn back now 

My nigga I won't stop, now 

I can't, I can't, I can't stop now 

I can't, I can't, I can't be stopped now 

It wasn't easy but I learned the hard way and let me tell you how 

Lived life and learned my lessons 

Spent dough and earned my blessings 

Southside my tatted necklace 

Ball like I'm ambidextrous 

Every time they tried to block me 

Switched hands and changed directions 

Fist in the air like Rocky 

Bitch I think my name Sylvester 

That's the difference between me and them 

When they thought it was the end, I was still tryna see a M 

Now the difference 'tween me and them 

Even in Mercedes Buick, I was still tryna see a Benz 

I was backed into a corner 

Sat chasing, catching charges 

It's re-election season 

Bitch I think I'm back in office 

You don't know my pain 

How far I've came 

Those days are gone 

You cursed my name 

I prayed to God he shined the sun 

He gave me rain 

I took that water and walk on it 

Marching harder than million Martins 

On my darkest days, I'm still a star; I shine regardless

Out of the fire I found a fire inside 

You can see the pain still alive in my eyes 

I've loved and I've lost 

Through heaven and hell 

Turn they back on me too many times to turn back now 

My nigga I won't stop, now 

I can't, I can't, I can't stop now 

I can't, I can't, I can't be stopped now 

And I thought they said light skin niggas went out of style 

André 3k said you only funky as your last cut 

So I'm state to state, and I move like a Mac truck 

Plus I gotta keep a Mac tucked 

For these vid soldier niggas on the 'Gram trying act tough 

Y'all too alternative get your facts up, I shoot to kill 

And my stacks up 

I get pounds this pain is english, bitch I think I'm bout to wreck up 

You don't get do you? 

When you on the big screen, a lot of little people living through you 

And if you don't stick to the script 

They assassinate your character and act like they never knew you 

That's just how the game goes I guess 

I dress like project runway meets the projects 

Write like Noah but a little more Complex 

I fed niggas and they shitted on me 

Took the piss out me and spilt on me 

When I broke down like Britney Spears 

Said they throw me—oops they never did it on me 

So I wrote 'em out and made a bigger story 

Vic's story that's victory 

Niggas never did shit for me 

Show them the ropes and jumped ship on me 

But I never drowned 

Stayed down, sang songs for my home town 

Made homes for the broke kids stepping over needles in the playground 

Y'all the only thing that matters to me 

If y'all love me fuck everybody 

If y'all love me they could never stop me 

If y'all love me they could never stop me

Out of the fire I found a fire inside 

You can see the flames still alive in my eyes 

I've loved and I've lost 

Through heaven and hell 

Turn they back on me too many times to turn back now 

My nigga I won't stop, now 

I can't, I can't, I can't stop now 

I can't, I can't, I can't be stopped now 

I gave you my pain through pen 

No I.D. on the track, let the story begin
