BURN IT Lyrics

For all the homies doin' time, look alive
For every day your mama cried, look alive
When the five-0 arrive, look alive
Everybody look alive, look alive

You ain't ready, uh
Yeah

See we always on the run
'Cause they be chasing us for fun
When the neighbourhood in pieces
They say to pray and look to Jesus
Light a candle with the sun
'Cause we lost another one
Got us pledging our allegiance
To a hand that doesn't feed us
Preach

I got a mouth like Malcolm
And hands just like Ali
Black Panther, white mother
You better not try me
I got a mind like Martin
Visions of Rodney King
My city's on fire

You know sometimes you gotta burn it down
To build it up again
Lights go out in the town we're living in
Burn it down when no-one's innocent
Burn it down

I am a gun on the run
I am a gun on the run
I am a gun on the run

We live behind the lines
That they be keeping us inside
And if red denotes the devil
Then in hell is where we'll settle
If I had to pick a side
It's Inglewood until I die
We the necessary evil
For all these fake angelic people

I got a mouth like Malcolm
And hands just like Ali
Black Panther, white mother
You better not try me
I got a mind like Martin
Visions of Rodney King
My city's on fire

You know sometimes you gotta burn it down
To build it up again
Lights go out in the town we're living in
Burn it down when no-one's innocent
Burn it down

I am a gun on the run

(Fight for survival but we was dead on arrival
So we gon' fight for survival until we)
Put me in front of the gun
(Fight for survival but we was dead on arrival
So we gon' fight for survival until we)
Put me in front of the gun
Oh, bang, bang
Oh, put me in front of the gun
Yeah, okay, yeah

You know sometimes you gotta burn it down
To build it up again
Lights go out in the town we're living in
Burn it down when no-one's innocent
Burn it down

We point our fingers while they point their guns
Bullets, they miss us, we're guns on the run
So burn it down and built it up again
Burn it down

I am a gun on the run
Oh, we still killers
I am a gun on the run
I am a gun on the run

What is the Meaning of BURN IT?

A powerful outcry against social injustice, this track is a potent blend of raw emotion and fervent rebellion. FEVER 333 uses their platform to shed light on the relentless struggles faced by marginalized communities, particularly those of color. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of police brutality, racial inequality, and systemic oppression. The recurring phrase "I am a gun on the run" symbolizes individuals who are constantly targeted and forced to fight for survival in a society that often views them as threats. The line "sometimes you gotta burn it down to build it up again" suggests that sometimes radical change is necessary for progress. This track is not just music; it's an anthem for change—a call to action for listeners to challenge the status quo and strive for justice and equality.
