Fire descends from on High In the shape of a lion Burn the sacrifice of Pride And ride on to Mount Zion
Rub me the wrong way Taking the highway Rubbing sticks together But your fire's man-made Capitalize on hot air, soar like an airplane Yearn to rise in the sky quick high Like cocaine, false pride is suicide But you've got nothing to gain Babylon's buildings raise like flames Drowning in their champagne Explosive! Pull the pin in the hand grenade Soul stain blowing up in your own domain Fire crackers ooh and ahh But they never maintain
{bridge} Fires burning Flames are dancing Don't burn the house down Heavenly fire only resides On an altar made from the ground
{Chorus} Fire descends from on High In the shape of a lion Burn the sacrifice of pride And ride on to mount Zion
One pair of eyes But see two different things One person cries While the other one sings You walk around like everybody Owes you something Take what you got Thank G-d for all that life brings The poor man has it all But not content with anything While the rich man's hads are empty But he's sitting like a king
{Bridge}
Backpack's getting heavy Moving at a steady pace Carrying bricks on your shoulders And lead around your waiste Making way, run in haste There is no time to waste We should be grateful Got a plateful Fire burns like ice morsels falling fire Like Rain
{Chorus}
You should be more subtle You could keep your hustle Keep your laugh and shuffle Flashing muscle, brass knuckle Bust your bubble, goin pop Take of the muzzle Hate to ruffle feathers Makin brothers struggle Through the rough old concrete jungle Briskan brussells step and shuffle Stumble into trouble Spirit rumble in the temple Mumble nothing Your should be more humble In the continental all your bluff You're puffin smoke, it's fundamental In this ocean you're a pebble
