I've been workin' so my moms don't have to do it
Blood, sweat and tears,
I done put in to this music
Goin' through it
Cause my hearts on fire
And I know you love me baby
But my mind is on this money
And I cannot let you take it
Cause my hearts on fire
Feelin' like I'm chosen one
Somebody do me wrong
I just ignore it, keep it rollin
Cause my hearts on fire
Friends and enemies they look
The same and I can't sleep
Cause people dyin' in these streets
I love my family to the death and that's just real as it gets
Even when we had our problems I was willin' to fix
I was tellin' you to chill, but you was still in the mix
And I just ain't be feelin' stronger, not for healin' the sick
Mmm, heart on fire, I don't know if I can love again
I just want my down time to be right where my brothers stand
If that don't work then we comin' up with some other plan
'Cause if my brother don't know, I know for certain that my mother can
So many bodies I see droppin' in the dirt
My friends be on that block like they be clockin' in for work
Don't walk inside my life if you can't walk inside the church
'Cause so many people dyin' so it's probly' not the first
I've been workin' so my moms don't have to do it
Blood, sweat and tears,
I done put in to this music
Goin' through it
Cause my hearts on fire
And I know you love me baby
But my mind is on this money
And I cannot let you take it
Cause my hearts on fire
Feelin' like I'm chosen one
Somebody do me wrong
I just ignore it, keep it rollin
Cause my hearts on fire
Friends and enemies they look
The same and I can't sleep
Cause people dyin' in these streets
Born in the dirty South, but I took a clean approach
Mama told me watch my mouth and I do just what I'm told
I can't trust nobody, but I try to move along
'Cause, I don't have no hope and I done live my life on wrong
Doubt, be creepin' on me, but I got stay on fire
'Cause my life been tight rope and I been balancin' the wire
I don't spray no hate, but if I did then more would listen
You gon' feel me through my love and all the gifts that I was givin', yeah
Headbands, got me focusin' on the brand
More money come around the less I see my friends
Don't know if it's worth it, but I guess it all depends
'Cause I sent my heart to blaze and put my soul out with this pen, yeah
I've been workin' so my moms don't have to do it
Blood, sweat and tears,
I done put in to this music
Goin' through it
Cause my hearts on fire
And I know you love me baby
But my mind is on this money
And I cannot let you take it
Cause my hearts on fire
Feelin' like I'm chosen one
Somebody do me wrong
I just ignore it, keep it rollin
Cause my hearts on fire
Friends and enemies they look
The same and I can't sleep
Cause people dyin' in these streets
