Hook:
Burn in the river, bathe in the flame
I burn in the river, bathe in the flame
Burn in the river, I bathe in the flame

I burn in the river, bathe in the flame
Burn in the river, bathe in the flame
I burn in the river, bathe in the flame

Burn in the river, I bathe in the flame
I burn in the river, bathe in the flame

Verse 1:
Watchin’ the news and all I see is killin’
They got our children idolizing villains
We tell ‘em education is the way
And all the while our teachers barely gettin’ paid
We sit and pray while they plot and scheme
Create the world while we watch and dream
Talkin’ ‘bout Illuminati on the net
But it’s gone and dead if it’s on the web
Prices on my head ‘cause of what I read
Some of us shall lead, some of us are led
Some are bustin’ lead to crucify the truth
If all of us are thugs, who supply the youth?
As I rebuke the devil vocally
My poetry’ll touch somebody hopefully
This wisdom that I’m giving more than just a rhythm
Penetrate their hearts and reside within ‘em
‘cause if it hit ‘em then they’ll taste the pain
That’ll be the day that they embrace the rain
Burn in the river, bathe in the flame
’til our pleasure is our pain, once again
Hook:
Burn in the river, bathe in the flame
I burn in the river, bathe in the flame
Burn in the river, I bathe in the flame

I burn in the river, bathe in the flame
Burn in the river, bathe in the flame
I burn in the river, bathe in the flame

Burn in the river, I bathe in the flame
I burn in the river, bathe in the flame

Verse 2:
Poor are gettin’ poorer, rich are gettin’ richer
Listenin’ to rap you get a different picture
In a recession yet they pourin’ liquor
On sistahs, one day karma’s gon’ getcha
And while hip hoppers argue and they bicker
Racists makin’ Barack pictures look like Hitler
Labeled a socialist from outta Kenya
They called him everything except for n*gga
They have the people votin’ against their interest
To sell their books and their agendas
And they’re offended by what time has done
Gotta deal with now, can’t rewind it son
The time has come for true democracy
So through the internet the youth can watch and read
We ask for more than you decide to stream
Children bring your cups, the truth’s inside the stream
I still believe that one day we will see
That all of our divisions really needn’t be
So will you burn in the freakin’ sea
As I bathe in the f-l-a-m-e
Hook:
Burn in the river, bathe in the flame
I burn in the river, bathe in the flame
Burn in the river, I bathe in the flame

I burn in the river, bathe in the flame
Burn in the river, bathe in the flame
I burn in the river, bathe in the flame

Burn in the river, I bathe in the flame
I burn in the river, bathe in the flame
