Well, baby
I thought you were my best friend
How can I trust you again?

Well, baby
I thought you were my best friend
How can I trust you again?

Seven Days Down
Money Gone, Trust Gone
Slide My Heart Shut
Seven Days Down
Money Gone, Trust Gone
Slide My Heart Shut

You left me down on that day, woman
I could not come home again

That was seven days ago last week
I gave you all the money I had

Seven Days Down
Money Gone, Trust Gone
Slide My Heart Shut
Seven Days Down
Money Gone, Trust Gone
Slide My Heart Shut

That was seven days ago last week
I gave you all the money I had

I come home every single night, come on
For you, my dear, you swore it

Seven Days Down
Money Gone, Trust Gone
Slide My Heart Shut
Seven Days Down
Money Gone, Trust Gone
Slide My Heart Shut

I know my mama never been a real one
It's like a sliding door shut tight
I know my mama never been a real one
It's like a sliding door shut tight tonight

Seven Days Down
Money Gone, Trust Gone
Slide My Heart Shut
Seven Days Down
Money Gone, Trust Gone
Slide My Heart Shut

Seven Days Down

Rain WhenI Die

The Fire Don't Quit
The William Altig Choir

🔥 Karma Compounds

Here's the truth: whatever fire you're building, it's gonna grow.

Do evil, and you burn now—"I did that terrible thing." That thought alone scorches you. Then when the consequences roll in? You burn even more. The fire don't quit.

Do good, and you rejoice now—"I helped, I told the truth." That thought lifts you up. And when the blessings come back around? You rejoice even more. The joy don't quit.

This isn't about heaven and hell up in the sky. This is about the fire you're building right now, today, in your own heart. Your consequences compound. Your seeds grow.

So the question isn't whether there's gonna be a fire. The question is: what kind of fire are you building?

🔥 Make sure it's the right one.

🙏 Part of The Blues Dhammapada series—testimony set to music.

[Verse 1]
I knew a man who burned from the inside out
Couldn't escape the things that he'd done
Every quiet moment, that fire would start
"I did that evil"—and the burning had begun

He tried to run, tried to hide, tried to drink it away
But the flames just followed him down
And when the consequences finally came around
That fire burned him to the ground

[Chorus]
The fire don't quit, no it just gets higher
What you plant today, tomorrow grows the fire
You can't outrun the heat of what you've done
The fire don't quit until you're overcome
But flip that script and plant the good
Watch the joy grow like it should
What you give out comes back twice
The fire don't quit—make sure it's the right fire

[Verse 2]
I knew a woman who glowed from the inside out
Everything she touched turned to gold
Not 'cause of luck or magic or some cosmic deal
But 'cause her hands were clean and her heart was whole

She'd think about the good she'd done and smile
"I helped that stranger, I told the truth"
And when the blessings came back around to her
She had joy piled high to the roof

[Chorus]
The fire don't quit, no it just gets higher
What you plant today, tomorrow grows the fire
You can't outrun the heat of what you've done
The fire don't quit until you're overcome
But flip that script and plant the good
Watch the joy grow like it should
What you give out comes back twice
The fire don't quit—make sure it's the right fire

[Bridge]
Karma ain't punishment from the sky
It's the law of the harvest, the truth that don't lie
Burn now, burn later, burn even more
Or rejoice now, rejoice later, joy through every door
The seeds you're planting today
Are gonna grow either way
So choose what you're growing
'Cause the fire keeps on flowing

[Verse 3]
So I'm checking my hands before I move
Checking my heart before I speak
'Cause I know that whatever fire I'm starting
Is the fire I'm gonna feel

If burning's what's coming, I'll change my ways
If joy's what I'm after, I know the path
Plant good seeds, think good thoughts
And let that joy compound and last

[Final Chorus]
The fire don't quit, but I'm choosing my flame
What I plant today won't bring me shame
I can't outrun the seeds I've sown
But I can choose what fire I've grown
So I flip that script and plant the good
Watch the blessing grow like it should
What I give out comes back with love
The fire I'm burning lights me up

[Outro - Spoken]
You see, this ain't about scaring nobody.
It's just the truth—how it works.
Your actions compound.
Your consequences grow.
The question isn't whether there's gonna be a fire—
The question is: what kind of fire are you building?
A fire that burns you down?
Or a fire that lights your way?
The fire don't quit.
Make sure it's the right one.

Lyrics:
Mama sweet mama nature
Please forgive us and what we’ve done
Mama sweet mama nature
Please forgive us and what we’ve done

We’ve gone and hurt our mama
And her wrath has begun

Mama sweet mama nature
Punish my brothers but don’t hurt me
Mama sweet mama nature
Punish my brothers but you don’t hurt me

Cos I’m a good boy to my mama, but I got bad siblings
Cos I’m a good boy to my mama, but I’ve got bad siblings
