Fire  descends from on high  in the shape of a lion
Burn  the sacrifice of pride  and ride on Mount Zion
Fire  descends from on high  in the shape of a lion
Burn  the sacrifice of pride  and ride on Mount Zion
 Rub me  the wrong way, taking  the highway
 Rubbing sticks  together but your fire's  man-made
 Capitalize  on hot air, soar like  an airplane
 Yearn to rise  in the sky quick high like cocaine
 False pride  is suicide but you've got nothing to gain
 Babylon's  buildings raise like flames
Drowning  in their champagne
 Explosion  pulled the pin in the hand  grenade
 Soul stain  blowing up, in your own  domain
 Fire crackers  ohh and aah, but they never  maintain
Fires  burning, flames  are dancing
 Don't  burn the house down Lord
Heavenly  fire only  resides on an altar  made from the ground
One  pair of eyes
 But see  two different things
One  person cries  but the other  one sings
You  walk around like everybody owes  ya something
 Take what you got,  thank God for all  that life brings
 The poor  man has it all but not content  with anything
 While the rich  man's hands are empty but he's sitting  like a king
Backpack's  getting heavy, moving at  a steady pace
 Carrying bricks  on your shoulders and lead  around your waist
 Making way,  run in haste, there is no  time to taste
 What you ate,  we should be grateful got a plateful
 Fire burns like ice morsels falling fire like rain
