(Verse 1)
I was raised up in the street and came from a broken home
My fam bringin’ down each other every day, every night
Kinda like a war zone - a bruised one in a storm
Or an ash-covered soldier returnin’ from the front

It’s how this world works ‘n spins ‘round
Now I know better that no baddies ‘round
Had to grow up too fast, things seen too much 
My leeched head sayin’ yes, my red heart sayin’ no

I had an attitude, frontin’ like I knew it all
But a doc called me “Pathfinders-Treat-Souls-Deadly”
Rebuffin’ any help, I used to see love ‘n hope as flaws
‘Cause my fuckin’ parents poisoned me against them flows

I’d thought ‘bout I’m a have-not in this world and
All the things I belong are destined to get wrecked
But now I realize, the world in my palm already
And rocked the crown when I was young ‘n fool

(Bridge)
People whoop me out wit’ them whips, ya bastard
To let me jump through the flamin’ hoops required
One beast got defanged but never tamed gon’ bleed
And bare the sharpened fang to keep its creed

Now the time standin’ still cold, has started again
‘Cause I felt the flame raged out of control inside
I cloaked myself in that ragin’ flame and decided
To survey this world wit’ wisdom, will, wrath ‘n word
Like Acala, cryin’ to reach out to the other shore

(Chorus)
Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one 
I gon’ revive through the trials of fire
Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one
I’m feelin’ my energy ‘n hot blood flowin’

Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one 
I gon’ revive through the trials of fire
Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one
I’m the flame keeper wit’ my ragin’ hellfire


(Verse 2)
I keep walkin’ ‘round ‘n ‘round, on the same ground today
Hittin’ more cigs, killin’ my lungs ‘n mind black
I wouldn't let myself cry to lock it up
Somethin’ pus inside I ain’t as the pain

My ghostin’ shadow hang on the rear of me
When I freeze, fawn, faint, flight or fight
Layin’ down, I ain't down, ain't a showdown
‘Cause he’s my double or the alter ego

Then I’ve lost some flavors, cut appetite
Buzzin’ ‘n ringin’ in my ears all day long
Wide awake, and my arms ‘n legs tremblin’ on them own
Kinda like catchin’ some bugs goin’ ‘round?

And also lost the way I show who I be
I gotta follow my trail to take my roar back
One day, I bolted ‘n struck by thunderbolt
And got a stroke - the only neat thing to revolt


(Instrumental Breaks)


(Bridge)
People whoop me out wit’ them whips, ya bastard
To let me jump through the flamin’ hoops required
One beast got defanged but never tamed gon’ bleed
And bare the sharpened fang to keep its creed

Now the time standin’ still cold, has started again
‘Cause I felt the flame raged out of control inside
I cloaked myself in that ragin’ flame and decided
To survey this world wit’ wisdom, will, wrath ‘n word
Like Acala, cryin’ to reach out to the other shore

(Chorus x2)
Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one 
I gon’ revive through the trials of fire
Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one
I’m feelin’ my energy ‘n hot blood flowin’

Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one 
I gon’ revive through the trials of fire
Burn it up, burn it down, from ashes to new one
I’m the flame keeper wit’ my ragin’ hellfire
