[Nas - I'm on Fire lyrics]
Uh woke up this morning on
Some white linen sheets
The bed almost caught ablaze
The temperature's one hundred in the room
I'm like "What's up?"
Still got the same flame behind
Me from the "Hate Me Now" video
It's continual
All I need is a beat and I'm stitchin' you
Like stitchin' these words together
How I'm still getting better
I'm finding more gold as I dig
In the dirt with a shovel
I got the last laugh
Don't get blown away by the backdraft
(I'm on fire) Don't be scared now
(I'm on firе) Don't be scared now
(I'm, I'm on fire) Givin' 'еm
Hell now (He's on fire)
I'm startin' to see 'em sweat
(I'm on fire) Don't be scared now
(I'm on fire) Don't be scared now
(I'm, I'm on fire) I'm givin' 'em hell now
Tryna walk in my soles is like
Bare feet on hot coals
Soon as I start heatin' up
The whole block froze
I came in without an ordinary name
How many Nasirs?
How many top tier? How many not here?
There's something in the name
That's different from theirs
Depicted in scripture holdin' two
Dragons blowin' flames
Sorry it ain't go the same for y'all
They say Allah, please explain Allah
You Godbody or do you praise Allah?
And still rock crosses all on
Your chain a lot
I'm scorchin' and I never forced it
Even when forces and powers that
Be went against me
Y'all use that as an excuse
You dudes cannot convince me
Or trick me out my spot
Y'all want my shit like Sherman Hemsley
I'm debunking the blackball myth
The facts more or less
I might hurt your feelings but, yo
Sometimes it actually is
Victimization, mix that with some entitlement
It's bound to explode
I make 'em stop, drop, and roll
Move to the side with it
There's no stoppin' it, I'm rap's arsonist
(I'm on fire) Don't be scared now
(I'm on fire) Don't be scared now
(I'm, I'm on fire) Givin' 'em
Hell now (He's on fire)
I'm startin' to see 'em sweat
(I'm on fire) Don't be scared now
(I'm on fire) Don't be scared now
(I'm, I'm on fire) I'm givin' 'em hell now
I must say I am what I am
(I'm on fire) They said I
Wouldn't survive, look at me, damn
(I'm on fire) Like the tip of
The barrel that's on a wham
(I'm on fire) He's on fire, NBA Jam
I was all, I was alone like, you know
I was making some moves
I need to, like, concentrate and chill but
I was, i was just getting all
These calls and everything
And it's telling me like, "You on fire"
Some white linen sheets
The bed almost caught ablaze
The temperature's one hundred in the room
I'm like "What's up?"
Still got the same flame behind
Me from the "Hate Me Now" video
It's continual
All I need is a beat and I'm stitchin' you
Like stitchin' these words together
How I'm still getting better
I'm finding more gold as I dig
In the dirt with a shovel
I got the last laugh
Don't get blown away by the backdraft
(I'm on fire) Don't be scared now
(I'm on firе) Don't be scared now
(I'm, I'm on fire) Givin' 'еm
Hell now (He's on fire)
I'm startin' to see 'em sweat
(I'm on fire) Don't be scared now
(I'm on fire) Don't be scared now
(I'm, I'm on fire) I'm givin' 'em hell now
Tryna walk in my soles is like
Bare feet on hot coals
Soon as I start heatin' up
