Burn It Down

Lyrics

[Intro] I got no use for luxury Yeah so I burn it down I'm gonna burn it down Burn it down I got no use for luxury Yeah so I burn it down [Verse 1] Some days I'm on top of my life I declare war with pain, and winning the fight So I'm back in the game to spin that dice But my luck seems to change within that night And by dawn break I wake to find myself In a puddle full of tears, beside myself And a stomach full of fear, describes my health That I cure with liqueur I prescribe myself And its all related to the same old props, same friends, same hassles And the same old job, gotta 9-5 working, with the same old slob And a boss I never met but his name is Bob Only Bob gets the house and a fancy ride And I guess he made a choice that he stands beside So on my break, I made a plan today Yeah, I'm a stick it to the man today, ah! [Chorus] I got no use for luxury Yeah so I burn it down Strike a spark, get your lighters up It's about time we got it fired up Im gonna burn it down Burn it down Strike a spark, get your lighters up It's about time we got it fired up [Verse 2] Jesus Christ, look at this situation I'm in I got nothing but a worn out pen and no work Where I sleep and dream of change from above But deep down I know that change must come from within Yeah so with that I gota do what I can The candles burning at both ends, and my two hands Are worn out, callous ridden from the poems I've written A bad liver and my mother fuckin' bones are splittin But cracking under pressure's no trait of mine And I dont need much more than my state of mind Some good friends, cheap booze and a plate of lines To get rowdy and have mee a bloody great old time So you can keep your pocket watch and your shiny shoes Id rather keep rocking spots for my grimey dudes So cut the lights, one mic, I dont need luxury Naw not as long as these streets got love for me [Chorus] I got no use for luxury Yeah so I burn it down Strike a spark, get your lighters up It's about time we got it fired up I'm gonna burn it down Burn it down Strike a spark, get your lighters up It's about time we got it fired up [Verse 3] Though I ain't had much, I just got enough to know I need more to get me that stuff I been tricked before, I'm calling that bluff And no I will not be wearing those cuffs I won't be told when I can and can't touch I dont take it lying down, I get it standing up Demand a cut cuz every man's hands corrupt And I ain't trying to be a client down at Scams'R'Us Naw this year I plan a trip to the moon Hitch a ride with Richard Bransen in his silver spoon Get a dune buggy, explore punk systems booth So you can hear me back at Earth, when I kick my tunes And while I'm at it, I think I'll rearrange the planets And hang me a hammock that reaches from Mars to Saturn Kick back and quit rappin', watch the world turn round Get my Ben Harper runnin', just burn one down! Yeah! [Chorus] I got no use for luxury Yeah so I burn it down Strike a spark, get your lighters up It's about time we got it fired up I'm gonna burn it down Burn it down Strike a spark, get your lighters up It's about time we got it fired up [Outro] Jesus Christ look at this situation I'm in I got nothing but a worn out pen and no work Where I sleep and dream of change from above But deep down I know that change must come from within
