Lyrics
Out of the fire, I found a fire inside
Expressing the discovery of an internal passion or motivation emerging from challenging experiences.
You can see the pain still alive in my eyes
Visible emotional distress remains in the eyes, suggesting past pain still lingers.
I've loved and I've lost, through heaven and hell
Reflecting on a journey of love and loss, spanning both positive and negative experiences.
They turned their back on me too many times to turn back now
Facing betrayal multiple times, reaching a point of no return.
My nigga, I won't stop now
Determination not to give up despite challenges.
I can't, I can't, I can't stop now
Reiterating the determination and the inability to be halted.
I can't, I can't, I can't be stopped now
-It wasn't easy but I learned the hard way and let me tell you how
Explaining the difficulty of the journey and the lessons learned through hardships.
Lived life and learned my lessons
Describing experiences of earning blessings, facing obstacles, and adapting to challenges.
Spent dough and I earned my blessings
-Southside my tat and necklace
-Ball like I'm ambidextrous
-Every time they tried to block me, switched hands and changed directions
-Fist in the air like Rocky
-Bitch, I think my name Sylvester
-That's the difference between me and them
Highlighting differences in mindset and ambition compared to others.
When they thought it was the end, I was still trying to see a M
-Another difference between me and them
-Even in a Mercedes Buick, I was still tryna see a Benz
-I was backed into a corner
Recalling past struggles and feeling a resurgence of power and influence.
Sat chasing, catching charges
-It's re-election season
-Bitch, I think I'm back in office
-You don't know my pain, how far I came
Expressing growth, resilience, and perseverance in the face of adversity.
Those days have gone, you curse my name
-I pray to God to shine the sun, he gave me rain
-I took that water and walked on it
-Marching harder than a million martyrs
-On my darkest day, I'm still a star, I shine regardless
-Out of the fire, I found a fire inside
Repeating the theme of overcoming challenges and not succumbing to setbacks.
You can see the pain still alive in my eyes
-I've loved and I've lost, through heaven and hell
-They turned their back on me too many times to turn back now
-My nigga, I won't stop now
-I can't, I can't, I can't stop now
-I can't, I can't, I can't be stopped now
-And I thought they said light skin niggas went out of style
Addressing stereotypes and asserting individuality while navigating challenges.
André 3k said you only funky as your last cut
-So I'm state to state, and I act like a Mack truck
-Plus I gotta keep a Mac tucked
-For these big soldier niggas on the net trying act tough
-Y'all too alternative, get your facts up
-I shoot to Heathrow, get my stacks up
-I get pounds to spend, that's English
-Bitch, I think I'm 'bout to rack up
-You don't get it, do you?
Exploring the consequences of deviating from societal expectations and facing character attacks.
When you on that big screen, there's a lot of little people living through you
-When you don't stick to the script
-They assassinate your character and act like they never knew you
-That's just how the game goes, I guess
Commenting on the harsh realities of the entertainment industry.
Change clothes, I dressed like Project Runway meets the projects
-Write like Noah but a little more complex
-I fed niggas and they shitted on me
Expressing disappointment and betrayal by those close, yet maintaining resilience.
Took the piss out me, then spilled it on me
-When I broke down like Britney Spears
-Said they throw me "Oops" and never did it on me
-So I wrote 'em out and make a bigger story
-Vic's story, that's victory
-Niggas never did shit for me
-Show them the ropes and they jumped ship on me
-But I never drowned, stayed down
Despite challenges, staying grounded and providing support for the less fortunate.
Sang songs for my hometown
-Made homes for the broke kids
-Steppin' over needles in the playground
-Y'all the only thing that matters to me
Affirmation that the support of loved ones is paramount, giving strength against external obstacles.
If y'all love me, fuck everybody
-If y'all love me, they can never stop me
-If y'all love me, they can never stop me
-Out of the fire, I found a fire inside
Reiteration of determination and the unstoppable nature of the journey.
You can see the pain still alive in my eyes
-I've loved and I've lost, through heaven and hell
-They turned their back on me too many times to turn back now
-My nigga, I won't stop now
-I can't, I can't, I can't stop now
-I can't, I can't, I can't be stopped now
-Yeah, I gave you my pain through a pen
Offering personal pain through artistic expression, acknowledging the collaboration with producer No I.D.
No I.D. on the track, let the story begin
