In The Fire Lyrics – Dave

[Intro: Milton Biggham & The Florida Mass Choir]
I know I got religion
I belong to the noisy crew (Heh, heh)
You see, we shout when we get happy
That's the way we Christian do
Oh, have you been tried

[Verse 1: Fredo]
Have you been tried in that fire?
I heard bullets sing higher
Than Mariah in choir
Spent a lot of time trapping
Now I'm tryna retire
But the sh!t runs in my blood and
I'm the guy they require
Yeah, these guns don't bring nothing
But prison and death, still
All my n!ggas just admire the fire
Bro squeeze and he miss
But we admire a trier
Finessе kid, you can never lie to a liar
But Frеd got the fire
I fire for days
I gotta write them in my notes
They'll be igniting the page
Grinding on cold nights
Putting light to the flame
Now there's no flame that can melt
The ice in my chain, yeah
I really put the ice in rice for the 'caine
Me and Santan
You won't see nothing like this again
That's my young boys again
On the glide with the flame
I just really hope
Your block came with fire escapes

[Verse 2: Meekz]
Before my entrance
I took the fire exit
Tried and tested
About twenty times arrested
Two times guilty, no comment
I guess they guessed it
Couple times bail, no forensics
This a Deezy pendant
I don't need a necklace
We stay protected and connected
It's the energies I'm blessed with
And now they watching like Netflix
Had me doing next sh!t
Tryna get rich, but what's rich?
Took more losses than Boris
I sold more boxes than the post-office
Twenty-one in jail, it turned me so solid
Why you think my vision sick
I changed the game in my brain
And sold robotics
If you fell in my fire
You probably roast on it
Heat up the stove and put hope on it
Cah they don't care 'bout our lives
I put my soul on it
I'm done tryna be somebody to some nobodies
I'm being so honest
And they don't know porridge

[Verse 3: Ghetts, Giggs]
Fire burning while I'm watching
Higher learning
Guns busting, tyres turning
That's a Russian and a German (Yes)
That's your phone ringing
You can hear the beep
You won't be saved by the bell
When you hear the screech
In it so deep, open, ocean
There's man escaping some shells
They can barely see
Me and bro raising hell
We gone share the heat
Then put us in the same cell
We gone share the sleep
Am I my brother's keeper? (It's deeper)
I'm my brother's leader (Speaker)
I'm the eldest, the one who had to make a name
So the bells ring
So nobody would trouble
My siblings in this whirlwind
My older cousin wasn't known for nothing
Never had no one I could call
But I was holding something
I'm digging deep with this tool like
I'm known for plumbing
Something in your chest like it's Robitussin
Word to arsonist, I burn all this
I stood in front of all three
Dragons and heard "Dracarys"
And now we're jumping out
G-Wagons and murking parties
Man are coming out with
These bangers and dirty dancing
Nobody puts baby in a corner
I uplift my girl
Like I'm Swayze in the water
And if it's already written
Maybe I'm the author
So accustomed to the fire
I get shivers when I'm naked in the sauna
How, many times have
They mistaken me for Scorcher?
I'm looking in the mirror
Saying "Justin, just cool, nuh"
Send Ghetto downstairs and
Tell them "Just bring me water"
And tell Ghetts I put something in the formula
I'm focused, I don't need to burn the kush
This is Moses speaking to the burning bush (Yeah)
I stood in front of the fire and learned to cook
Finished my verse and never heard a hook

[Verse 4: Giggs]
Riskiest numbers
This jungle stick through your youngers (Uh)
He's hungry, picked off the fungus
Kept humble, slipped him a hundred
Yeah, lived in a dungeon
Those AirMax, which n!gga stung them? (Which?)
Can't walk in my shoes (Yeah)
You could be risking a bunion (Hahaha)
The government's twisted
I cover this shift to cover this Christmas
Forget them old friends
I'm done with those b!tches
They colour-coded my brothers and sisters
Run the rhythm, you're a brother
But you're running with them
Try accusing me of colourism (Yeah)
Blinded 'cause you look at me with tunnel vision
I was falling, but I've gone and risen
Is this n!gga trusty
Or Sideshow Bob when he's creeping on Krusty?
Streets keep me tussling, people discuss me
Racist disease, that sh!t that disgust me (Disgust me)
Don't touch me, on the streets with the sweeper
'Cause the streets pretty dusty (Dusty)
And I've always got love for genuine
People that buss me (Haha)
Santan, and the gang advisor
I'ma check him out, I'm a analyser
She was calling me an antagoniser
Let me sanitise, where's the sanitiser? (Jheeze)
Just flutter by, he said "Giggs can you handle this?"
He said "Float like a butterfly" (Butterfly)
I bring truth but they love a lie
Plans, I'm the man you should run 'em by

[Verse 5: Dave]
Yeah, in the fire, been tried
Affected the way I been wired inside
You can hide or glide
I could've been deported
That's the definition of a "Fight-or-flight"
You can type all you like, I know about homeless
Immigration, they took me from my mum's arms
F**k a gun charge, two swords, I'm a Ronin
Błaszczykowski, I'm tryna score with the Polish
Pain in my eyes, plans of me staining a guy
With a vision of this changing my life
Crime's on the rise, hate's on the rise
Feel like everything but my mum's pay's on the rise
"Did you come through?" That's the question
Affording a burner was never man's problem
Adoption, we couldn't find homes for the weapons
By the station, we got poles, no election
In the fire, been tested
Before I had money, it was time I invested
Nothing changed, still time I invest in
Watch-game delicate
Tutankhamun, there's money in skeletons
All I gotta do is point
They're gonna sever his head
And tell ***** that we're better as friends
Nights that I can't remember with some people
I could never forget
Casa Cruz, you could bet a Nusr-et
Don't make me call a young gunner on the back of a 'ped
Slapping a lead, civilians grabbing your friends
There's chaos on the main road
They called choppers and tents
All because of some sh!t that you said
I got killers with me (Killers with me)
And they love me, they make a man's heart stop
The sh!t you find horrifying gets laughed off
I'm like Meekz, bro, I won't stop, can't stop
Yeah, it's kinda different
When the fire's what you start from

[Bridge: The Florida Mass Choir]
Have you been tried, in the fire? (Hot!)
Have you been tried, in the fire? (Yes)
Have you been tried, in the fire? Oh (Yes)
Tell me (Did you come through?)
Did you come through?
Have you been—

[Outro: Nathan James Tettey]
Do your research, to travel
Go and see, go and really see
The corners of the world that
That are alien to you
Really do interest you
And you know, 'cause in due process
Then you’ll meet new people
And then those people will tell you new stories
Then you become a voice for the voiceless
I mean, you should ask Daniel
Really and truly, where he goes to find himself
'Cause I don't know anything
I'm just speculating, umm
More importantly for you and your family
You then get to ask the questions and
Answer the questions
About where you were made
Like where you come from
Where you're goin, London, Lagos, LA"
The journey is the film
