Man on Fire

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They praying that I fall off (Well, motherfuck 'em) These hoes come and go, shorty (But I don't love 'em) Yeah, all I ever had was God (And a pistol) My grandma ain't around the home (I could swear I miss her) The world at my front door (Is how it feels) I'm havin' nightmares of dyin' (I swear it's real) I'm scarred from a life of horror (When will I heal?) I drink a bottle everyday (That's how I deal) It's a blessing I saw twenty four (Ain't that the truth) The police never give a pass (They run and shoot) They killin' all my lil niggas (Pray for the youth) I'm thinkin' 'bout retaliation (Pray for me too) [Chorus] I'm livin' on the edge, watchin' for a sign But tomorrow never comes, I'm runnin' out of time Lookin' in the mirror, waitin' for a change Tired of the pain, wonderin' will it rain? I'm a man on fire, I'm a man on fire I'm a man on fire, I'm a man on fire [Verse 2] I'm tired of being broke (But how can I do better?) Yeah, my partner haulin' gold (And never, ever let up) Push the pedal to the metal (Tryin' not to crash) The law's right behind me (Tell 'em kiss my ass!) Burdens on my shoulders (Gotta pay the bills) Roaches in my kitchen (Eyes full of tears) Get it while it's good (Get it how you live) Yeah, I lost a couple friends (But that's just how it is) Never trust a soul ('Cause everybody's sellin') Never speak your business ('Cause everybody's tellin') Be careful when you shine ('Cause most niggas jealous) It's death before dishonor (Never fold under pressure) [Chorus] I'm livin' on the edge, watchin' for a sign But tomorrow never comes, I'm runnin' out of time Lookin' in the mirror, waitin' for a change Tired of the pain, wonderin' will it rain? I'm a man on fire, I'm a man on fire I'm a man on fire, I'm a man on fire [Verse 3] Lil haters in the world (The price of bein' famous) I'm tryin' to get to heaven (And kick it with the angels) Been puttin' in the work (Down to do some dirt) God knows my heart ('Cause I ain't in the church) 'Cause everyday a struggle (The others live in storm) What happened to the world? (2000 and beyond) Your baby's havin' babies (Niggas dyin' to kill) Yeah, I'm afraid to die (But I ain't happy here) [Chorus] I'm livin' on the edge, watchin' for a sign But tomorrow never comes, I'm runnin' out of time Lookin' in the mirror, waitin' for a change Tired of the pain, wonderin' will it rain? I'm a man on fire, I'm a man on fire I'm a man on fire, I'm a man on fire
