Jon B
Thru The Fire
[Intro: Aretha Franklin sample | Scarface]
Lord, in the stillness

You know, I went to bed last night and had a clear mind
When I woke up this morning, I had a headache
Still trying to put my finger on it, where the headache came from
I just know that when I'm with you, I feel good, you know
I don't even remember feeling like this

[Verse 1: Jon B]
Down here on the ground people sacrifice just to try get by
It's hard to get past being caught up in the thoughts of flying high
Gone off that girl, everybody's chasing after her all the time
Seems like Erika Kane, she done got up in the game
Now I'm scared to try

[Chorus: Jon B]
You may not know it right now, nothing's impossible
And when you try to push along, it seems too far to go
And the way it goes down, seems like the end of the road
But it's not, the fire's gettin' hot hot hot
You can go on right now, search deep inside
You're getting strong right now, you need to testify
You've already won the fight, just stay down and ride
'Cause we all gotta walk through the fire
[Verse 2: Jon B]
I walk the block running up the streets looking for a way out
Don't nobody know what I'm running from
Everything is spinning, feel like my world is burning
And I don't know what to do
If I put it all on you to get me where I need to be
Could you really comfort me?
There's so much pain that I see

[Chorus: Jon B]
You may not know it right now, nothing's impossible
And when you try to push along, it seems too far to go
And the way it goes down, seems like the end of the road
But it's not, the fire's gettin' hot hot hot
You can go on right now, search deep inside
You're getting strong right now, you need to testify
You've already won the fight, just stay down and ride
'Cause we all gotta walk through the fire

[Verse 3: Scarface]
Oh, now what a tangled web I've wove
Lost inside of a maze I've made, misled my soul
I often sit down and pray but now I can't 'cause I'm froze
Besides, heaven's too far away so I pave my nose
My pains unfold, whispering words to me that which remain unspoke
Though some pictures tell a story, most remain untold
It's the same old song, Aretha's sangin' to me, Lord, and I can't go on
My eyes are bloodshot, my tears run down and I cry 'til I can't stop
My fears is war now with my heart and I'm shell-shocked
Trapped in mistakes now
You want me to bail in but I want me the hell out
I make you to feel bad but you making me feel weak
I do you to hide you but you making me hide me
Every right I made was left so I'm staggered and gun-shy
Addicted, I stand still 'cause she's making feel I'm
[Bridge: Jon B]
I'm in the world alone, trying to get back home
Please come and rescue me
Someone's in desperate need
Trying to shake the pain so I can breathe again
Somebody pray for me so I can finally see

[Chorus: Jon B]
You may not know it right now, nothing's impossible
And when you try to push along, it seems too far to go
And the way it goes down, seems like the end of the road
But it's not, the fire's gettin' hot hot hot
You can go on right now, search deep inside
You're getting strong right now, you need to testify
You've already won the fight, just stay down and ride
'Cause we all gotta walk through the fire
You may not know it right now, nothing's impossible
And when you try to push along, it seems too far to go
And the way it goes down, seems like the end of the road
But it's not, the fire's gettin' hot hot hot
You can go on right now, search deep inside
You're getting strong right now, you need to testify
You've already won the fight, just stay down and ride
'Cause we all gotta walk through the fire

[Outro: Aretha Franklin sample]
Lord, the midnight...
