The FireMan

(Intro – ambient, distant voice) Yeah… You already know what time it is… Don’t get burned now… ⸻ (Chorus) Nowadays they callin’ me the fireman Something ‘bout the ice on my wrist, got your girl in a trance Rollie lookin’ like an iceman But I melt every chain, yeah I proved what I am Used to feel nice just bein’ low, now they know who I am Yeah… the fireman… Don’t sleep on it, you’ll burn your hand Playin’ with the flame, you get turned to ash ⸻ (Verse 1) Yeah… started from the bottom now the view panoramic Used to have the hunger, now the hunger turned manic I don’t even gotta try, it’s embedded, it’s habit Every move calculated, they just call it “he’s magic” Shorty used to dub me, now she hittin’ my line Said she always saw the vision, I just laugh at the time Funny how the tables turn when you actually shine Now they tryna sit at dinners they wasn’t invited to dine I been movin’ lowkey, out the way with the circle They was playin’ checkers, I was workin’ the purple Turn pain into pressure, now it’s diamonds and verses If I said it, then I meant it, I don’t speak it in cursive ⸻ (Chorus) Nowadays they callin’ me the fireman Something ‘bout the ice on my wrist, got your girl in a trance Rollie lookin’ like an iceman But I melt every chain, yeah I proved what I am Used to feel nice just bein’ low, now they know who I am Yeah… the fireman… Don’t sleep on it, you’ll burn your hand Playin’ with the flame, you get turned to ash ⸻ (Verse 2) Yeah… I been in my zone, feelin’ colder than ever But the fire inside got me holdin’ it together I don’t trust a soul, they be switchin’ like weather Said we family once, now we barely remember Had to cut ties, it was killin’ the growth They was smilin’ in my face, talkin’ shit in they notes I don’t even take it personal, that’s just how it go When you glow a little brighter, they be prayin’ you don’t Now it’s penthouse views with the city beneath Every loss I took turned a lesson to teach I don’t brag, I just show ‘em what it’s meant to achieve Now they studyin’ my moves like a lesson to read ⸻ (Bridge – slowed, echoing) Yeah… Fireman… Ice melt… Watch it drip… ⸻ (Verse 3 – BEAT SWITCH: darker, faster, aggressive trap bounce) Yeah—switch it up, now it’s heat in the booth I was quiet too long, now I’m speakin’ the truth They was sleepin’ on me, now they peekin’ the proof Now I’m runnin’ through the game like I needed the loot Prrrat—watch how I pivot and step I got the flame in my chest and the ice on my neck I had to earn every stripe, I ain’t sign for respect Now they signin’ my name like a line on a check Yeah—now it’s different, I’m back in attack mode Flow go psycho, clip full, reload Talkin’ that fire but they ain’t got the lingo I been a problem since flip phones and ringtones Goddamn—look how I’m switchin’ the cadence Feelin’ like Wayne when I’m spittin’ these statements Eminem pace when I’m breakin’ the matrix Killing the beat, I don’t need no arrangement Ashes to ashes, I burn up the doubt They was talkin’ real loud, now they quiet as mice I turned pressure to diamonds, now it’s ice on the couch But I’m still that same flame that be lightin’ it out ⸻ (Final Chorus – full energy) Nowadays they callin’ me the fireman Something ‘bout the ice on my wrist, got your girl in a trance Rollie lookin’ like an iceman But I melt every chain, yeah I proved what I am Used to feel nice just bein’ low, now they know who I am Yeah… the fireman… Don’t sleep on it, you’ll burn your hand Playin’ with the flame, you get turned to ash Don’t fuck with the fireman
