What the fuck? Shit..

It's.. HOT!

I'm steamy sweatin tossin and turnin

The whole house on fire and I can't stop it from burnin

The curtains and the walls all indulged in flames

I yell "Somebody help me!" But ain't' nobody came

I try my best to put it out then I said "Fukkit!"

Break full speed to the back door one room away

But the faster and harder I ran it seemed like the longer I took

Prayin "Please God spare me; I don't want to cook!"

Knew I that I did done some things that I shouldn't of

I knew I didn't come into Sunday service like I could have

But have mercy for your child, forgive me for my sins

I'm too young to die Lord, get me through this

I gotta get to the back do', gotta get to the kitchen

But they got thick black smoke comin from the kitchen

Shit, all other exits are tossed, what I'ma do?

Stay my ass here and burn or -- RUN THE FUCK THROUGH?

Already havin trouble breathin when I started to cough

But no more time to waste, I cover my face and took off!

Dis-en-dehydrate, I'm gettin tireder

I gotta, keep movin, cause it's gettin HOTTER

and HOTTER, WHOO.. WHOAH, shit! I'm on fire!

see-see-call them people to me, I-I-I'm on fire! (6X)

Oh shit! Ain't none of y'all motherfuckers help me out dere?

HELP!!! Motherfuckers it's me! HELP!!!

I gotta get out of here! I've been trapped for over 55 minutes

Looks like I'm finished, this could be a fucked up ending

I done been in some fucked up shit but this the worst I ever been in

"Call them people to me" -- tell them send the fire engine

I hope this ain't my calling y'all cause I ain't ready

I'ma need some alerted emergency units to stand by, paramedics

Runnin through the fire, and I can't turn back

Somethin went {WHOOSH} and everything went black

I can't see, I can't see, I'm BLIND!!

Oh fuck I'm alright I just had my eyes closed the whole time

Oops, shit damn! But that ain't my stop my shoes from movin

cause outside, here I am!

I smashed through the back door like a ram

I made it! I'm still alive! I'm still a man!

Out the house but still I got fire on my clothes

So I stopped, dropped, and rolled nigga rolled

Started goin wild on the ground tryin to get the flames out my shirt

Windmillin in the dirt, but nuttin didn't work!

I heard a {HORN SOUNDS} but that was just a barge

See I live right by the river -- THAT'S IT, WATER!!!

Every step I took made hot footprints in the tar

Runnin over cars to the 12th Ward wall

Get out the way cause everything I touch turn crispy

I'ma be at the riverfront, tell them people come get me!!

see-see-call them people to me, I-I-I'm on fire! (4X)

Hello? Somebody get the fuckin fire off me!

HELP!

Sparks like aluminum foil, in the microwave oven

Where them fuckin people? SOMEBODY DO SOMETHIN!

Can't you see what's hap-pe-nin?

Don't you see the smoke? Can't you hear the cracklin?

Nobody want to listen, everybody was scatterin

I grab a nigga he screamed so loud that shit was eardrum shatterin!

I said, "Don't scream Dawg, I need your help, I'm the one on fire!"

He said, "Nigga you 'sposed to be dead, how you still alive?"

He was right -- by now they should be embalming me

But the shit don't seem to be harming me

Damn this must have been a bad dream the whole ?

I heard them motherfuckin sirens, hollerin

I guess they finally got the people to me, they must have saw me

Huh, cause they was headed right for me

A fireman walked up, and handed me a ticket

And said, "You just been put out, the fire went away!"
