Fire

[Intro]
It's a long road to glory
But it's a short road to shame, you know?
What path you wanna take?
Check it, yo

[Verse 1]
As a youth I wanted mad shit, but couldn't have it
Not a lot of cash kid, parents couldn't grasp it
And people wanna know why I took that shit
Kick your door down, snatch your Q pound out your crib
Sixteen, smoked weed, popped pills and PCP
Fucked with LSD, didn't like it, took E
It took me to a place I didn't know existed
Twisted, unrealistic, realistic
Stop that, came a long way since back in the day
I have to get paid any way that is possible
Stand tall and honorable, I can't fall down
Y'all cats is comical, still do the same shit
I can't follow you, fuck your footsteps
I'ma do me, you do you, when I see you I'ma look left
I get money now, pussy, nothing's funny now
Pussy, snap if I have to, look, push me
Been getting pussy steady, kept me empty the semi
I'm ready to empty on any cat who envies
Soft as I leave you on pavement
Gaze in amazement, it's fucking Foundation, who's gonna say shit?
And don't think you know me from this verse that I spit
You think that's all that I've been through? Reverse that, kid
I had stress on my shoulders, weighed me down 'til I was older
Thought about it more in death, now it's over
You can't sit back and expect shit to fall in your lap
You gotta do it yourself and make it happen

[Hook]
It's a long road to glory, it's a short road to shame
Saw people fall and I saw people gain
Analyze this shit and know the rules to the game
Learn from everybody's mistakes, am I the same?
It's a long road to glory, it's a short road to shame
Saw people fall and I saw people gain
Analyze this shit and know the rules to the game
Learn from everybody's mistakes, am I the same?

[Verse 2]
And it's hard to maintain when your life, it ain't the same
As it was when you were up, now you're down, it ain't sane
It's like "what happened, man?" It's like what's happenin'
Shit was all good just a week ago, I'm graspin' it
Tight in my grip, I stay tight with my flip
That's the life that I live, I'm alright with my shit
People that I know don't know me now
I walk this Earth by myself, I'ma hold me down
Everything that you want, you gotta get it yourself
It's a long road to glory, I'ma get it myself
And I don't keep trust too close to my circle
People that you think you can trust is the first to burn you
Hurt you, manipulate for all that it's worth
Snake you, eliminate, all sprawled in a hearse
I know a lot of shit, I got a lot to learn
I soaked up everything that I see, I'm not concerned

[Hook]
It's a long road to glory, it's a short road to shame
Saw people fall and I saw people gain
Analyze this shit and know the rules to the game
Learn from everybody's mistakes, am I the same?
It's a long road to glory, it's a short road to shame
Saw people fall and I saw people gain
Analyze this shit and know the rules to the game
Learn from everybody's mistakes, am I the same?
