Текст песни The Fire Next Time (Intro) - Billy Woods

My, uh
Unfortunately we'll be going back to Washington after my remarks

Crime became real, for example
For the first time
Not as a possibility, but as the possibility
One would never defeat one's circumstances by working and saving one's pennies
One would never by working acquire that many pennies, and besides
The social treatment proved that one needed
In order to be free
Something more than a bank account
One needed a handle, a lever, a means of inspiring fear

(Times have changed)
(The world gas gone mad)

I have spoken to spoken to the vice president
The governor of New Orleans
And the director of the FBI
And I have ordered the full resources of our government

To hunt down and to find these folks
(Times have changed)

He called you here
He called you right here
So he knows where you are?
That means he's sending some guys over here
Probably right now
Ginger, that means he's sitting by the phone like a dumbbell
Waiting for me to call him back
Sitting by the phone like a dumbbell just waiting for you to call him back
That's what he's doing? He's never gonna do with you
He probably had guys outside the fucking house!
