Burn The Boats

Are you ready for the fire?
We are firemen, we are firemen!
The heat doesn't bother us
We live in the heat, we train in the heat
It tells us that we're ready, we're at home
We're where we're supposed to be
Flames don't intimidate us
What do we do? We control the flames

Ayy, yeah

Knew it'd be happenin' just how I wrote
Look up, you not even close (close)
Trust me, I seen it a long time ago
But back then, they say West blowin' smoke
It's always the ones that be doin' the least
For some reason, they talkin' the most (damn)
Jumped off the cliff, it ain't no going back
To be Greek, I done just burned the boats

She told me "baby, you blowing up"
I said "I know it" (yeah), mmm
I gotta stay on my path, I don't talk, I just show it (show, oh)
Won't let the women, the money, change me and my focus (no), mmm
Wait for my family, my people, that's mando', you know it (yeah)

Fuck all distractions, I'm chasin' my spot
Knew that the industry'd give me my shot
Don't get it twisted, that's not you, that's me
Plottin' for years what I've already seen
Burgundy red, pop it, pour it, and toast
Only been chasin' what I want most (yeah)
Never forget how you got to the dance
Now I'm here, please don't act like we're close

Who knew such thing as halfway
Lord knows I never turned into Cashét
Manifest Destiny, make what I see (sheesh)
That's what you get when you're dealing with me
I'm crowdin' my hand, baby watchin' my moves
Seeing me winnin' is salt in the wound
Baby, they always have something to say
Prove it to no one, just do it for you (woo)

Ooh, drop-top coupe
Bad lil' thang said she want me too
She know I'ma come up, penthouse view
Her friends want to come, I said "bring them to," yeah

Sold out show, I'ma kill that
The heat backstage, I'ma chill that
Half measures ain't never turned into Cashét
Comin' for the top spot, I'ma steal that
A man of my word, always do what I say
Never a price I ain't willing to pay
Burn all the boats, only way up is forward
Die trying to make it or make it away

Knew it'd be happenin' just how I wrote
Look up, you not even close (no)
Trust me, I seen it a long time ago
But back then, they say West blowin' smoke
It's always the ones that be doin' the least
For some reason, they talkin' the most (bitch)
Jumped off the cliff, it ain't no going back
To be Greek, I done just burned the boats

She told me "baby, you blowing up"
I said "I know it" (yeah), mmm
I gotta stay on my path, I don't talk, I just show It (show, oh)
Won't let the women, the money, change me and my focus (no), mmm
Wait for my family, my people, that's mando', you know it
