Fire

Realest shit I ever wrote
One time for my aunt Annette
And yes I do have a testimony baby
A real one
Check me out

Cold night, in the air nineteen ninety-five
The night I supposed to die but God kept me alive
Electric heaters plugged up tryna keep warm
We just left the grocery store wasn't lookin for harm

Momma let us play around for bout a hour
And after that she hollered, "Y'all go get off in the shower"
And when I took a shower, it took a whole hour
But this night I had to rush, she wanted to read the Bible
Just me and Tambo, Pam-Pam was gone

One room apartment, we made it outta home
She turned the television off and then she start to read
She read a couple scriptures then we got down on our knees
We got through prayin to God then she cooked us somethin to eat
When y'all get through playin, y'all take y'all ass to sleep
We ate real good, now off to bed we go
She made sure we was safe, she put the dresser cross the door

Hey, said stuck off in my head
I can't forget that night when all that fire was round that bed
Huh, I said stuck off in my head
I can't forget that night when all
That fire was round that bed, you know

One bed, queen size, it was three of us
Debra cut the lights off and said, "God be with us"
Got my eyes closed and then I fall asleep
But when I wake up it ain't nobody next to me
I'm stuck in this bed, feelin Hell bounded

Scared to make a move because it's fire all around it
T-shirt, a pair of boxers, and some socks
I'm lookin at that door like I wanna make it out
The fire gettin higher, walls startin to pop
I jumped down, went for the door, the knob was too hot
A voice said, "You gon' make it", stuck off in my head
No way out so I jumped back in my bed

Closed my eyes, went back to sleep
But I woke up this time and I was standin in the streets
The firemen fightin the fire, momma passed out

Quana told Debra, "I seen God come out yo house"
They woke my momma up, she thought that I was dead
She seen me and hugged me and kissed me on my head
Annette came in and got me, now she's an angel
I never will forget, I looked at death like a stranger

Hey, told y'all it was a real story
Know I'm sayin', huh
Stuck off in my head
I can't forget that night when all that fire was round that bed
I said stuck off in my head
I can't forget that night when all that fire was round that bed
I said stuck off in my head
I can't forget that night when all
That fire was round that bed, you know

Damn
Y'all
