Burning

Oo-oo-oo-ooh

Oo-oo-oo-ooh(Come wid di fyah)

Come wid di fyah di city burning down

Mi jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning

It a bun like a tire mi have a burning sound

And if mi try fi retire mi leave dem yearning

Nuttin cyaa out my flame, no it cyaa quench, cyaa cool, cyaa tame

Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down

So mi jus give him the fyah and mek it burn him

Koffee pon di street

Tank top inna di heat

Jjeans pants an’ crocks

No socks deh pon mi feet

Knapsack when mi a beat

Well pack up an’ it neat

Stay woke, no sleep

Mi nuh likkle bo-peep

Money pon mi mind but mi neva have a coin

Nah cuss mi jus a hustle fi di pretty dolla sign

A Neva nuff fun time

Life rough sometime

But mi know me an me mommy affi si di sunshine

Dats why mi

Come wid di fyah di city burning down

Mi jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning

It a bun like a tire mi have a burning sound

And if mi try fi retire mi leave dem yearning

Nuttin cyaa out my flame, no it cyaa quench, cyaa cool, cyaa tame

Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down

So mi jus give him the fyah and mek it burn him

(Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn)

Seet yah wah become a Peter

Mommy seh be Doctor

Granny seh be preacher

Wah fi be a Rasta

Daddy see be neata

Peter neva like dat so him tek di streets-ah

Everybody born wid a talent yuh fi feature

Blessings in abundance

Weh wi fi cherish each-a

Neva be ungrateful

Life is such a teacha

Koffee pon Upsetta track

See mi bring di heat ya

Come wid di fyah di city burning down

Mi jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning

It a bun like a tire mi have a burning sound

And if mi try fi retire mi leave dem yearning

Nuttin cyaa out my flame, no it cyaa quench, cyaa cool, cyaa tame

Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down

So mi jus give him the fyah and mek it burn him

Run up an’ down

Have dem a run up an' down

Yea a Koffee wid di Don sound

Anytime mi come roun’

A madness pon di compound (Pon di compound)

Man a tun fool, a tun clown

But Jah-Jah cover mi journey (Cover mi journey), I beg yuh guide it

An’ any trouble mi see (Trouble mi see), help mi avoid it

Mi know seh anything mi need God will provide it (Anything)

And he will still have a day wid me beside it

Come wid di fyah di city burning down

Mi jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning

It a bun like a tire mi have a burning sound

And if mi try fi retire mi leave dem yearning

Nuttin cyaa out my flame, no it cyaa quench, cyaa cool, cyaa tame

Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down

So mi jus give him the fyah and mek it burn him

(Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn)
