Guerilla Black
Hearts of Fire
[Verse 1]
There's no reason I'm as evil as I can be
I pray to Jesus, "Please keep my mind at peace."
I just wanna stay humble and patient
That's when stupid n***as come at you with gay shit
"He look like Big. He sound like Big."
Yo I'm B-L-A-C-K, n***a—you dig? (Ha ha ha)
I guess it all started when Keesh left this Earth, dawg
And the doc gave me my worst call
And told me that my boo goin' through convulsions
Imagine my mind state and emotions
Hell, my mom's goin' though it with my step-pops
He got cancer in his lungs and his chest's rottin'
All I wanted to do was be a winner
All I ever ate was hot dogs and chips for dinner
I sacrificed so much for my career
That's why my eyes shed blood for tears

[Chorus]
In my heart, it burns this fire
And I don't fear none of y'all
In my heart, it burns this fire
And I don't fear none of y'all
In my heart, it burns this fire
And I don't fear none of y'all
In my heart, it burns this fire
And I don't fear none of y'all
[Verse 2]
I been in the industry for a year now
All my life, I wished for this—I'm here now
I didn't know it was so much politickin' (Uh-huh)
I feel like a motherfuckin' politician (Uh-huh)
Just yesterday I was out there hustlin'
Did a three song demo; now, they want me in
Nines and four fives, pots and drawers
Got Virgin callin' me with P Farmer
Give shoutouts to my n***as down and rich
They was with me ever since I was on the bench
When I had no shoes, had no clothes, had no food
Had no dough, had no hoes
Shit was real thirsty back in them times
Like Martin Lawrence: a real thin line
I ran across a few real n***as
A lotta hatin' n***as, a lot of fake n***as
Oh, lord!

[Chorus]
In my heart, it burns this fire
And I don't fear none of y'all
In my heart, it burns this fire
And I don't fear none of y'all
In my heart, it burns this fire
And I don't fear none of y'all
In my heart, it burns this fire
And I don't fear none of y'all
[Bridge]
If I see you 'round the way and you catch me in the hood
Show me love, n***a, show me love, yeah
If I see you roll a spliff and you seperate the seeds from the buds
Let me get a puff, yeah
If you see me pissed off with the hammer in my hand, loadin' slugs
N***a, I'm a thug
If you see me with a bitch that you never seen before
I'ma fuck or n***a, I done fucked, yeah

[Verse 3]
I remember when I was just a little boy (Yessir)
Watchin' moms play that organ with that big voice
It touched me in a certain type of way
Like the bomb smooth sounds of Marvin Gaye
I didn't know Compton was like that (Uh-huh)
Until I got out there and had to fight back
Walkin' back and forth up the way-ly
Them Lucas Park n***as tried to beat me daily
I guess that shit made me tougher (Yeah)
Thats why I love every last one of my brothers (Yeah)
Hide always, they're with me in the struggle
Whether I'm glad or sad, I'ma always love 'em
The game is so fuckin' treacherous
A buncha bullshit n***as—fuck y'all rhetoric!
[Chorus]
In my heart, it burns this fire
And I don't fear none of y'all
In my heart, it burns this fire
And I don't fear none of y'all
In my heart, it burns this fire
And I don't fear none of y'all
In my heart, it burns this fire
And I don't fear none of y'all
