Fire Burning

I'm tired of working Even when I smile, I'm hurting Is this what life's about? I don't wanna die in search of Finding out what really keeps the fire burning My mother told me that Granny worked her whole life (paying off the mortgage) Granny worked them cold nights (stealing for her daughters) With no man, and feed a slow grind And a sleeping for the thought of her kids' kids (who else?) Kids' kids And this is what I witnessed as an infant For instance, the hardest working artist in England Is him they one day classed as a juvenile delinquent (poor man) Son of Karen, grandson of Ruth Imagine if my mother hadn't met Lennox and had a yout In fact, don't imagine that it's with established who It's who And now you know hard work's in my bloodline But sometimes I ask my mum why she works two jobs And works through lunchtime And most the money's gone when the taxman comes by Well If this is what we're living for Then I don't wanna live at all How can money make me miserable? I'm tired of working Even when I smile, I'm hurting Is this what life's about? I don't wanna die in search of Finding out what really keeps the fire burning Can't afford a car that's called a Lambo Listening to Carter IV wishing I had mad dough (still I'm saying) God bless the people with a nine-to-five Who still end up jobless, they're the people who define as life It shouldn't be stars, it should be commoners we idolise But saying that, a lot of stars were commoners like (InI) Ballers like (Ferdinand) Boxers like (Iron Mike) Singers like Adele And every one of these feminist spitters Have to pay homage to (Dynamite) But the question is when you get what You want, would you be satisfied? Probably not, I bet you want the next thing that they advertise Looking in the mirror to analyse the average guy How can I be happy if I'm never content? Well If this is what we're living for Then I don't wanna live at all How can money make me miserable? I'm tired of working (I'm tired of working) Even when I smile, I'm hurting Is this what life's about? I don't wanna die in search of (I don't wanna die in search of) Finding out what really keeps the fire burning (The fire burning, the fire burning) Long days (the fire burning) Even longer nights (the fire burning) (The fire burning, fire burning) We have different things that keep us going But one thing's for sure Stopping ain't an option I call that drive Finding out what really keeps the fire burning Finding out what really keeps the fire burning
