Now, who you know without any flaws
On exactly what an artist should be
Everything you drop is so tired
So, how come we're not getting no higher?
There's always someone there who'll applaud, yeah
They'll make you now then take you down and make you face it
And does anything they feel just because
Music is supposed to inspire
Music is supposed to inspire
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
I know you think that you've got it all
Everything you drop is so tired
How come we ain't getting no higher?
I cross sands in distant lands, made plans with the sheiks
So, how come we ain't getting no higher
See, what you give is just what you get
Or I quitted, now I spit it however do you want it? Now you get it
Music is supposed to inspire
Music is supposed to inspire
Writing rhymes my range with the frames slightly tinted
And no concept of reality?
Everything you drop is so tired
How come we ain't getting no higher?
Come on baby, light my fire
I used to work at foot locker, they fired me and fronted
And by making other people feel small
Makes you think you're unable to fall
Just as Christ was a superstar, you stupid star
Everything you drop is so tired
That lives above the spiritual laws
Unprecedented and still respected when it vintage
I know it hasn't hit you yet
Now I don't mean to get you upset
If you slit the bag open and put your pinky in it, then taste it
Music is supposed to inspire
Come on baby, light my fire
And if your rhymes sound like mine, I'm taking a percentage
All I wanted was to sell like 500
I'm serious, I'm taking over areas in Aquarius
So, how come we ain't getting no higher
But every cause has an effect
But when you do, who you gonna call?
Now tell me your philosophy
Why you beef with freaks as my album sales peak?
Then send it to your block and have my full name cemented
Running red lights with my 10,000 chariots
And be a ghetto superstar since my first album, blunted
Should they be someone with prosperity
They'll hail you then they'll nail you, no matter who you are
Come on baby, light my fire
