Lyrics Fire Under Sun - Kevin Paul

If I do not make it
My people gone suffer
And that shit I can not stand up for
She in front of me naked
But my mind is distant
A Blink of eye and she's long gone
I got niggas around me
Who's gonna surround me
I traded your pain for my wings
I traded your hate, for my peace
I started to run so you breathe
I watched my momma pawn everything
I watched my daddy lose wedding rings
I watched my sister turn to the world
I watched my brothers turn to enemies
Now it's my time on the watch
Light in my eyes, this is more than a fire
This is the hand on the clock
Knowing my time is now
Yeah

EA southern baby in the mix
Miller Grove Middle taught me to hit
Valdosta State made me practice it
Eastern Atlanta perfected it
EA southern baby in the mix
Miller Grove Middle taught me to hit
Valdosta State made me practice it
Eastern Atlanta perfected it

Grit on my teeth
Up while you sleep
Ancestors in my head
They clawing at my feet
Run Kevin Run
They say you got a gun
Run Kevin Run
They say you got a gun

Grit on my teeth
Up while you sleep
Ancestors in my head
They clawing at feet
Run Kevin Run
They say you got a gun
Run Kevin Run
There's a fire under sun

Sliding with that fire
Like Zuko
And we tired
But you know how this shit go
We built conscious off of pride
Fire in our eyes
Hereditary baby
I see embers in my child
And we can't let it die

Burn for a burn
Eye for an eye
Ain't no difference between lighters and the Sun in my eyes
It's the Summertime
And we frozen in time
I don't wanna die
But I'll rise up for mine

I don't think that you do understand
We been tryna tell you for minute
Pull a Kanye, I won't let you finish
Pull a K Dot, I'm pimping the system
Pull a Nina, but I don't mean a strap
Strange fruit that we see on a app
We might go and target one of your stores
Cuz of targets that you keep on our back
There's a lot of fires under the sun
There's a lot of words that need to be said
They want me to pull up like MLK
But lately I've been feeling like Malcolm X
I got promises that I need to keep
I got fires that I need to be spread
I family depending on me
So what I look like letting you take my head
Conversations with the US of A
Do you see me as terrorist here
Even if I fight inside of your wars
Even if I take a knee for my peers
Even if I got some skittles and tea
Even if I been inside of my home
Even if I follow orders in peace
Even if they choose follow me home
Even if I am holding grudge
Even if we all living in peace
Even if I'm looking just like you
Is it suicide if you kill me
Even if I'm looking just like you
Is it suicide if you kill me
Even if I'm looking just like you
Is it suicide if you kill me

Grit on my teeth
Up while you sleep
Ancestors in my head
They clawing at my feet
Run Kevin Run
They say you got a gun
Run Kevin Run
There's a Fire Under Sun
