Soul On Fire

(album: Troubadour Of Troubled Souls - 2021)

My bread is green like avocado toast
If you want the beef I gotta pot of roast
Got an honest soul with a liars ways
Live a wreckless nightlife in my dying days
Behind this safe is a damaged heart
They try to box me in but I stand apart
I broke the mold to escape the cliché
Soul on fire baby feel the heatwave
Can't let up never give em leeway
Don't fall victim to that he or she say
The way that I'm living can only end up three ways
It's for the fam so I'm cool with each way

Came from the bottom ain't scared to fall
Truth hurts but I'mma bare it all
And I'mma carry on
And build the same mountain I'll be buried on
What's best for me ain't my destiny
It's to give my family the best of me
Be a guiding light for the rest to see
Feed em all and leave the recipe
My integrity gets slightly dirty
Try to keep you happy even if I'm hurting
Always working so your futures certain
Hope I open eyes before they close the curtain

I need you now
Don't want to see the angels cry
I'd rather hear you lie
Than hear you say goodbye
Burning burning burning burning
Soul on fire
Yeah
Burning burning burning burning
Don't let me down
I need you now

Now it's smooth sailing had a rough start
Took a rocky road thru them tough parts
Yea the cuffs clicked but they opened now
Became a free man took an oath and vow
To never break like I've been broken down
Try to find my balance on the broken ground
My feet is planted and my mind is right
I'mma die for mine no fight or flight
Running loose ya better hold me tight
The fires lit but I'm cold as night
Keep me warm and I'll light your life
Baby name your number and the price is right
Promise made that I'm gonna show your worth
You can see my pain and I know it hurts
So I try to hide it so your minds at ease
Yeah, I made mistakes don't remind me please
I'm living fast I can't pump the breaks
Shawty life is short I give it all it takes
I feel I failed if the tables set
When it's dinner time and there's empty plates
So I break my back so we breaking bread
Family full and the neighbors fed
My soul on fire baby flaming red
And it burns for you til the day I'm dead

I need you now
Don't want to see the angels cry
I'd rather hear you lie
Than hear you say goodbye
Burning burning burning burning
Soul on fire
Yeah
Burning burning burning burning
Don't let me down
I need you now
I need you now
I need you now

I need you now
Don't want to see the angels cry
I'd rather hear you lie
Than hear you say goodbye
Burning burning burning burning
Soul on fire
Yeah
Burning burning burning burning
Don't let me down
I need you now
