The Fire - Badi

I say I’m ashamed of mankind but I walk a thin line

So I slip, if somethings in the way yea I’m known to trip

It’s just more than I can take

All eyes on me, and it’s more than I can fake

But at the end of the day, man all that I can say is

My prayers to the Most Great

When I’m down for the count, in it too deep

When I live day to day, start to lose sleep

When I don’t go to class, when I don’t call fam back

How long can I do this, how long will I last

I don’t know God, I don’t know

If I am even worthy of your grace anymore

I’m waiting for a sign, but everything is sign

In reality the world is already mine

CHORUS:

I feel it my veins

The Fire, when I cry out His Name

Oh my god, make my prayer

A fire to burn away all my veils

Make of my prayer a fire

Kindle in my veins a fire

My God, My Adored One

My King, My Desire

I know that God gave each a purpose

But we all gotta search way beneath the surface

To find it, like trying to unearth a diamond

That always appears with the most perfect timing

-so I start reading to find meaning-

And I see there is still something I am not seeing

In between the lines, In my spirit

In the music, in the very air that I’m breathing

It’s the reason I feel forced to write

I recognize it inside me, that source of light

Showing me there is so much more to life

Arming me with the fire, because I got wars to fight

I think about the breakers of the dawn

And how they stood firm when the guns were drawn

On the front lines far from pawns

Kings in their own right, their the ones who I call upon

Whenever I lose faith

I read the story of my name and realize it’s never too late

To believe and so shall my powers be

I believed, and He made a man out of me

CHORUS:

I feel it my veins

The Fire, when I cry out His Name

Oh my god, make my prayer

A fire to burn away all my veils

Make of my prayer a fire

Kindle in my veins a fire

My God, My Adored One

My King, My Desire

Now when the swords flash, go forward

When the shafts fly, press onward

Now when the swords flash, go forward

When the shafts fly, press onward

When the swords flash, go forward

When the shafts fly, press onward

When the swords flash, go forward

When the shafts fly, press onward
