I'm on Fire

I made it! I'm still alive! I'm still a man!
A fireman walked up and handed me a ticket

Runnin' through the fire, I can't turn back
'Cause outside, here I am
Huh, 'cause they was headed right for me

We gotta get to the back, don't gotta get to the kitchen
And hotter, whoo, whoa, shit!, I'm on fire

I hope this ain't my calling y'all 'cause I ain't ready
C-c-call them people to me, I-I-I'm on fire

But the faster and harder I ran it seemed like the longer I took
But they got thick black smoke comin' from the kitchen
C-c-call them people to me, I-I-I'm on fire
Shit, all other exits are tossed, what I'ma do?
But the shit don't seem to be harmin' me
Stay my ass here and burn or run the fuck through?
C-c-call them people to me, I-I-I'm on fire
I heard a, but that was just a barge
So I stopped, dropped and rolled dig rolled
Already havin' trouble breathin' when I started to cough
But have mercy for your child, forgive me for my sins
Every step I took made hot footprints in the tar
He said, "Nigga, you supposed to be dead, how you still alive?"
I'ma be at the riverfront, tell 'em people come get me
Break full speed to the back door one room away
Disendehydrate, I'm gettin' tireder
Out the house but still I got fire on my clothes
I knew I didn't come into Sunday service like I could have

Oh fuck, I'm alright, I just had my eyes closed the whole time

I yell, "Somebody help me" but ain't nobody came

I-I-I'm on fire, I-I-I'm on fire
Looks like I'm finished, this could be a fucked up endin'
Knew that I did done some things that I shouldn't of
I'ma need some alerted emergency units to stand by, paramedics
Don't you see the smoke? Can't you hear the cracklin'?
Sparks like aluminum foil in the microwave oven
I gotta, keep movin', 'cause it's gettin' hotter
See, I live right by the river, that's it! Water!
Started goin' wild on the ground tryin' to get the flames out my shirt
Nobody wanna listen, everybody was scatterin'
Prayin', "Please God spare me, I don't wanna cook!"

Runnin' over cars to the twelfth ward wall
I'm too young to die, Lord, get me through this
I try my best to put it out then I said, "Fuck it!"
I can't see, I can't see, I'm blind
Can't you see what's happenin'?
C-c-call them people to me, I-I-I'm on fire
I done been in some fucked up shit but this the worst I ever been in
Where them fuckin' people? Somebody do somethin'
Oops, shit damn!, But that ain't my stop my shoes from movin'
I-I-I'm on fire, I-I-I'm on fire
"Call them people to me", tell 'em send the fire engine
I said, "Don't scream dawg, I need your help, I'm the one on fire!"
I grab a nigga, he screamed so loud that shit was eardrum shatterin'
C-c-call them people to me, I-I-I'm on fire
He was right, by now they should be embalmin' me
Windmillin' in the dirt but nothin' didn't work

C-c-call them people to me, I-I-I'm on fire
Somethin' went and everythin' went black
Get out the way 'cause everything I touch turn crispy
I heard them motherfuckin' sirens, hollerin'
But no more time to waste, I cover my face and took off
C-c-call them people to me, I-I-I'm on fire
I guess they finally got the people to me, they must have saw me
The curtains and the walls all indulged in flames

I smashed through the back door like a ram

Damn, this must have been a bad dream the whole while then
I gotta get out of here, I've been trapped for over fifty five minutes
C-c-call them people to me, I-I-I'm on fire
