birdscafafeather - fighting fires lyrics

[intro: james blake]
i don’t know about my dreams
i don’t know about my dreaming anymore
all that i know is
i’m falling, falling, falling, falling
might as well fall in

[verse 1: frank ocean]
won’t be gettin’ sleep tonight
and i’m crying as i write this
prayin’ for my brothers, locked up, fighting fires
my heart goes out to all the daughters, missin’ all our fathers
never seen their loved ones, ‘cause the prisoners fighting fires
and i might be biased, but i feel god standin’ by us
and the prisoners fighting fires
and i might be biased, but my soul
needs you lord, jesus come now, take control
oh, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

[verse 2: kanye west & james blake]
what if i start off the track, hum the beginnin’
f+cked up the middle part and mumble the endin’?
it just feels better in my humble opinion
much more n+words, but humble beginnings
when i act like the n+word, somebody get injured
that’s why we stay in court and go to the pen’ for it
before i forget, let me go get a pen for it
cancel culture, before i get censored
all i really meant for is you to get mentored
before we get sentenced, before we get sent for
remember the sentence, remember repentance
only god can judge me, gds and vice lords
over in danville, stateville, taylorville, menard
jacksonville, pontiac, pinckneyville
we mass targeted, mass marketed
mass incarceration, mass in police stations
mass incorporated
all that i know is+

the kids need the inspiration, i’m the source to ’em
i’m the chosen one, bring out the stone with the sword for ’em
this my magnum opus
bring hope to hopeless, know i been where you been
undoubted soulless, psh
don’t be ashamed of your pain, rearrange your focus
it hurts way less when you know what the goal is
it’s on me if i never see the day
i was on the same flight as virgil to meet ye
just a couple black boys, ready to create
it’s like time stealin’ from us how it keep gettin’ away
so many friends dyin’, i gotta live inside my truth
i been takin’ my vitamins and lovin’ the family too
she said, “thank you for the money that you sent me for the roof”
i said, “we went through wars under yours, i guess we’ll call a truce”
she said, “i know you stressin’ hard, doin’ everything you do”
i said
“h+ll yeah, baby, sh+t, better me than.. you”
