Fire

Lyrics

Chorus: I throw myself in the fire/ I got so much more than I ever gave/ I throw myself in the fire/ Think they'd rather watch me burn in the flames/ I throw myself in the fire/ I got so much more than I ever gave/ I throw myself in the fire/ Think they'd rather watch me burn in the flames/ Verse 1: Im just an asian male/ I feel it, the hate is real/ They don't portray us as heroes or navy seals/ Computer hackers and nerds that's all i had to observe/ Watching Tv trying to find someone that looks like me/ And if i did they do karate or mathematics/ Or run the student body/ Sh*t, in Hollywood they do all 3/ I was the bud of all the jokes they calling me Jackie chan/ All cause these slanted eyes envisioned a master plan/ To tell the world that we don't look like this/ Sometimes we even get the girl and a goodnight kiss/ Chorus; I throw myself in the fire/ I got so much more than I ever gave/ I throw myself in the fire/ Think they'd rather watch me burn in the flames/ I throw myself in the fire/ I got so much more than I ever gave/ I throw myself in the fire/ Think they'd rather watch me burn in the flames/ Verse 2: Chill moody Im a black male, in that order/ Blood of a slave, heart of a king/ But that thought'll leave you as the next martyr/ Built the country got nothing back for it/ Tragedy, they told you never forget/ They told me fast forward/ A new day it's different now/ i'm like its different how? Bamboozled that's just a different clown/ Still shuckin' and jiving, what they value's the crux of the problem/ They don't hear me - turn me up on the volume/ Don't need acceptance from who oppressed us, that's psychological/ Attacked us mentally and distracted us with some bible quotes/ Before my time to go I swear, truth will be spoken/ Sounds resounds through every youth and we woke 'em/ 'til that cycle is broken/ Chorus; I throw myself in the fire/ I got so much more than I ever gave/ I throw myself in the fire/ Think they'd rather watch me burn in the flames/ I throw myself in the fire/ I got so much more than I ever gave/ I throw myself in the fire/ Think they'd rather watch me burn in the flames
