Burning

Oo oo oo ooh
Oo oo oo ooh (come wid di fire)
Come wid di fire di city burning
Now me jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning
It a bun like a tire me have a burning sound

And if we try fi retire me leave dem yearning
Nuttin' can out my flame, no it cyaan' quench, cyaan' cool, can tame
Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down
So mi jus give him the fire and mek it burn him

Koffee pon di street and cop inna di heat, jeans pants an' Crocs
No socks deh pon mi feet, knapsack weh 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 'ave a coin nah
Cuss mi jus a hustle fi di pretty dolla sign
Ah neva nuff fun time, life rough sometime
But mi know me an me mommy haffi si di sunshine

Dats why me come wid di fire di city burning
Now mi jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning
It a bun like a tire me have a burning sound
And if we try fi retire me leave dem yearning
Nuttin' can out my flame, no it cyaan' quench, cyaan' cool, can tame
Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down
So mi jus give him the fire and mek it burn him (burn, burn, burn, burn, burn)

Seet 'ya what become ah Peter?
Mommy seh be doctor, granny seh be preacher
Wan' fi be a rasta, Daddy be neater
Peter neva like dat so him tek di streets
Everybody born wid a talent yuh fi feature
Blessings in abundance, weh we fi cherish each
Neva be ungrateful, life is such a teacher
Koffee pon Upsetta track, see mi bring di heat 'ya

Come wid di fire di city burning
Now me jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning
It a bun like a tire me have a burning sound
And if we try fi retire me leave dem yearning
Nuttin' can out my flame, no it cyaan' quench, cyaan' cool, can tame
Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down
So mi jus give him the fire and mek it burn him

Run up an' down
'Ave dem a run up an' down
Yeah, ah Koffee deh yah wid di don sound, anytime mi come roun'
Ah madness pon di compound
Man ah tun fool ah tun clown
But Jah Jah cover mi journey
I beg you 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)
Anywhere still water deh, him lead me beside it

Come wid di fire di city burning
Now mi jus a tun it up higher and keep it burning
It a bun like a tire mi have a burning sound
And if wi try fi retire mi leave dem yearning
Nuttin' can out my flame, no it cyaan' quench, cyaan' cool, can tame
Since the devil nuh like it, him say fi turn it down
So mi jus give him the fire and mek it burn him
