WHEN THE FIRE STARTS

[Hook]

If I die before I wake then homie ill do my part
Middle finger to the devil when he punch my time card
In and out the nap i leave 4600 tire marks
Rappers bout that action but run as soon as the fire starts

They run as soon as the fire starts
Run as soon as the fire starts
4600, I’m doin my part
Cause bitch i never fold up when the fire starts

[Verse 1]

Bitch I’m from the nap, BTF, got FOES up on both hands
Never threw a set up as young man, never toted straps when i sagged my pants low
But i still got in some jams tho. some shit coulda ended like rambo
But i stayed solid, did not get involved, and now I’m on track to get bands hoe
And i ain't got no beef, but you can still catch my hands tho
Ride thru the city, I’m flossing, tryna get lost, ain't nowhere i can’t go
Behind the fairground the land tho. arsenal park where i skated or hooped
Now i stay up in chicago, harrison park is the view while I’m tryna get loot
Passion not passive. my grave in the booth
Write while I’m riding a train to the loop
Realized i wasn’t working as hard as i should be, nothing more painful than truth
Holy fuck I’m bout to *poof*
Blow up like portable mattresses
Gon look at all of my catalogue, my life in analog, all that i captured, i practiced it. *woo*
So save a parking spot in Nap, I’m back in town
Lets celebrate a W and throw some cash around
Im really with this rappin shit, homie, just ask around
Plus it keep G, and stay solid, I’m never backing down

[Hook]

If I die before I wake then homie ill do my part
Middle finger to the devil when he punch my time card
In and out the nap i leave 4600 tire marks
Rappers bout that action but run as soon as the fire starts

They run as soon as the fire starts
Run as soon as the fire starts
4600, I’m doin my part
Cause bitch i never fold up when the fire starts

[Bridge]

I thought i was gonna make it home, never mind that
I guess i just got caught on the road. never mind that
Ain't nobody tell me where to go. never mind that
I feel like my bones are growing old. never mind that

I thought i was gonna make it home
I guess i just got caught on the road
Ain't nobody tell me where to go
I feel like my bones are growing old

[Verse 2]

Cause this is about staying solid when facing that mental adversity bruh
This is about the decision i made to say fuck going to university bruh
Barely finished high school, was confident that i knew my path
Just gotta follow that up with the cash. cause being broke is the flame under my ass
Prove myself right by collecting the bag. the fear i have is winding up back..
Right in the place where i started is at. becoming the man will be part of my past
Part of my past.. becoming the man will be part of my past
Piano keys in my blood stream and a microphone where my arteries at

[Hook]

If I die before I wake then homie ill do my part
Middle finger to the devil when he punch my time card
In and out the nap i leave 4600 tire marks
Rappers bout that action but run as soon as the fire starts

They run as soon as the fire starts
Run as soon as the fire starts
4600, I’m doin my part
Cause bitch i never fold up when the fire starts
