Workun_Teach, John Legend - The Roots' The Fire" lyrics

There's something in your heart
And it's in your eyes
It's the fire, inside you let it burn
You don't say, "Good luck"
You say, "Don't give up"
It's the fire, inside you let it burn

Yeah, and if I'm ever at the crossroads
And start feeling mixed signals
Like Morse code my soul start to grow colder
Than the North Pole
I try to focus on the hole
Of where the torch goes
In the tradition of these
Legendary sports pros as far as I can see
I've made it to the threshold
Lord knows I've waited for this a lifetime
And I'm an icon when I let my light shine
Shine bright as an example of a champion
Taking the advantage
Never copping out or cancelling
Burn like a chariot, learn how to carry it
Maverick, always above and beyond average
Fuel to the flame that I
Train with and travel with
Something in my eyes say I'm so
Close to having the prize
I realise I'm supposed to reach for the skies
Never let somebody try to tell you otherwise

One love, one game, one desire
One flame, one bonfire, let it burn higher
I never show signs of fatigue or turn tired
Cause I'm the definition of
Tragedy turned triumph
It's David and Goliath
I made it to the eye of the storm
Feeling torn like they fed me to the lions
Before my time start to wind
Down like the Mayans
I show 'em how I got the
Grind down like a science
It sounds like a riot on hush, it's so quiet
The only thing I hear is my heart
I'm inspired by the challenge
That I find myself standing eye to eye with
Then move like a wise warrior
And not a coward
You can't escape the history that
You was meant to make
That's why the highest victory is
What I'm meant to take
You came to celebrate, I came to cerebrate
I hate losing
I refuse to make the same mistake

Ohhhh, the fire, inside you
