Vernon Harris & Nkosi Kamal - Die By The Fire

"Die by the fire", screams the neighborhood
My feet don't know hope, tip toe on creaking wood
"Die by the fire", demons are outside, the eyes of my hurt
Give me pause, but still I-
"Die by the fire", screams the neighborhood
My feet don't know hope, tip toe on creaking wood
"Die by the fire", demons are outside, the eyes of my hurt give me pause, but still I
"Die by the fire"
They stare into the light, it burns and gloss they eyes
Ain't nobody home, I knock, no answers, just an empty mind
Smitten by the fire, all the people, fuck, I gotta hide
Or I could be the one to die
Feet are moving faster now, left right, left right in tandem
I hear big footsteps, feet and heart "shh", but my mind ain't silent
But honest to god I promise, I'll be better now from now on, if I make it through this, Please
I don't wanna leave, just help me!
Settle, just settle down, what I tell myself
Broke my mind on this wild ride, this pride might melt
I'm just looking for exodus, making it?, I am questioning
Cause someone's searching for me, if found, detour exiting Person's gone and I'm up Again through the storm and the worst of it
I gotta find a phone to phone life outside of this hurtfulness, a fire in the dark, is it the People?
I don't think so, I passed that long ago, oh it's a house went up in smoke, house I Choked, and battered those who really took me from my home
Good riddance, burn in hell with gas soaked all on they clothes
See some people running from it, I follow them, for awhile I see all of them, but the Darkness it swallows them
I'm lost, I'm walking across the woods, a kid in the dark
Going soft, start crying, I'm shook, I'm thinking I'm gone
The last legs breaking apart, it's going wrong till a voice tell me "get back up, we gotta Walk"
