Fire Inside

Yeah…

Too much weight on my mind…

Trying not to let it win.

Got a fire in my chest,

got a storm in my brain,

Every single day feel the pressure and the pain.

People cross lines, now they calling my name,

I’m fighting with myself just to stay in my lane.

Heart beats fast, got my fists held tight,

Trying not to lose myself in the middle of the night.

Every word cuts, every lie takes flight,

I’m searching for a way just to make it out right.

I’m full of anger,

I won’t let it control me,

Heavy on my shoulders,

but it never will own me.

I’m screaming at the sky,

trying to break free,

I won’t let the darkness become all they see.

Got voices saying, “Strike back,

make ’em pay,” But I know that road just leads the wrong

way. So I turn that rage into words that I say,

Every single verse helps me make it through the day.

I’m stronger than the hate trying to pull me down,

Even when I’m lost,

I won’t let myself drown.

I’m building from the pain,

never wearing the crown,

’Cause the strongest ones get back up off the ground.

The fire still burns,

but I hold the flame,

I choose who I am—I won’t be my pain.

One step at a time,

I’ll break these chains,

Tomorrow’s a chance to start again.
