lyrics
LYRICS:
[Hook - Young Haiti & The Wiz]
Yeah I know you gonna make it, anyway
Even though you gonna fake it, day by day
I’mma stay prayed up so you can make it to the top
The worlds gon see you, when you hot
(The worlds gonna see you)
When you hot
(The worlds gonna see you)
When you hot
(The worlds gonna see you)
When you hot
[Verse 1 - The Wiz]
When you're hotter and your bars flow like lava
Mixed with a Black Mage, spell casting rhymes like Firaga
The fire starter, make saunas seem colder than Hagen-Dasz
These contents stay hot, please exercise extreme caution
With the Heat comes the rise and also comes the fame
And the fans like a bandwagon for Lebron James
My flames, are catching more fire than the Hunger Games
No pain, these 3rd degree burns I'm feeling left no stains
Stay the same, don't change, and hold the torch in your lane
Like Johnny Blazin down the street, sayin' money aint a thang
It can drive you insane, all the pain and gain
And combustion of these functions makes it hard to maintain
So like a match we sustain the tinder cinders that remain
And we illuminate to elevate our life and what we claim
Easy all this is not, so keep God as your rock
And the devil out yo spot, he's in Hell's Kitchen tryna plot
When ya hot
[Hook]
[Verse 2 - The Wiz]
And I keep that fire burning
Something like Jim Rome with a will-o-wisp and furnace
Standing too close can burn us so I recline on the surface
Meanwhile just tryna live my life with a purpose
All in earnest, just a wordsmith in ring of fire like a circus
Dodging curses, praying that the Lord keeps us in these verses
Out these hearses know your worth is far from worthless
Got a million reasons to love life, yet I’m far from perfect uh
Cause I know that the fire that’s inside of me
Burns eternally, shoutout to the prodigies
So this light of mine, I'm gonna let shine
And when I let it shine you'll see the flame inside
This little light of mine, pass it on make it shine
And when you let it shine you gotta really let it shine
This little light unites my people let it shine
When ya hot, when ya hot
[Hook]
