Fight Fire - Urthboy, NAY, Mantra

Now I’m gonna put it down on this one for D

Yo, don’t let them get in the way of your swagger, man

Now I live by the motto where I choose my own battles

Do I look like I need the petty hassles?

Sure I’m with The Herd

But I ain’t caught up in the politics of cattle

You can push but don’t think that you’ll knock me off the saddle

My job, my role, my love, is a black artform

I’m a teacup that carried the storm

My needs, my ways, my means, something outta the norm

Giving shape to what hasn’t been drawn and

That requires a little of Ali and Erik Satie

Boutros Boutros Ghali, solemn gotta party

But up from them calm waters rise tsunamis

The eyes conceal the kamikaze

That’s a divine wind, crush an uprising

You be the bouncer and I’ll be the lightning

And I’ll be the left hook that’s sinking your right wing

Motherfucker drop quicker than on an ice rink uh!

Make no mistake, we’ll fight fire

With this fire, we can settle it

Don’t forget that we’ll fight fire

With this fire, you can bet on it

Make no mistake, we’ll fight fire

With this fire, we can settle it

Don’t forget that we’ll fight fire

With this fire, you can bet on it

They got so much to to say but so much less to do

And I’m not hatin' on you I’ve just heard better than you

You should go and get your mind right but you keep on playing a part

Searching for that limelight but haters get left in the dark

And they keep knocking, knock on the door of opportunity

While I’m not stopping picking the lock off this industry

Even though they say I’m more welcome in a penitentiary

Or cemetery like Doomadgee it’s hard to see the reasons

To keep up with trends and the friends that you like to follow

I’m doin' it, I do it like the rent is due tomorrow

On this beat is right where my heart is

My home is where my art is, you can bet on this

We gonna finish what you started

Make no mistake, we’ll fight fire

With this fire, we can settle it

Don’t forget that we’ll fight fire

With this fire, you can bet on it

Make no mistake, we’ll fight fire

With this fire, we can settle it

Don’t forget that we’ll fight fire

With this fire, you can bet on it

Time to get their about the same old shit

TIme — time about the same old shit

And when it comes time to battling, they don’t want

They don’t want

They don’t want

It goes, eye on the prize, head in the clouds

Ear to the ground, finger on the pulse of the town

Skulking around, if you got an itchy digit on a trigger pull it

Just be sure it’s loaded with garlic and silver bullets

'Cos ain’t no telling what’ll land us in intensive care

Steady rhymin' to the crack of military snares

Guerrilla journalist mind frame, lurk in the mist

Genuine article burning in my brain

Circling my veins, unafraid of living dangerously

Unashamed so I readjust my aim

Fly folkloric, atom splittin'

I’m spittin' acid at 'em my lyrics hydrochloric

(Going to show) you gotta be watching the quiet ones

Small unassuming squids about to take down a giant one

True Elefant Traks level a minefield

Let 'em fire on us they ain’t fuckin' with strongwill

Make no mistake, we’ll fight fire

With this fire, we can settle it

Don’t forget that we’ll fight fire

With this fire, you can bet on it

Make no mistake, we’ll fight fire

With this fire, we can settle it

Don’t forget that we’ll fight fire

With this fire, you can bet on it
