[Verse]
Time is moving, I gotta make it shake
No time to be mad, no time to waste
I got an advantage, no insurance
This is Red Flame After the Fire
So many vultures acting like they care
I stared at their walk, they walking right by me
Don't ask how I'm doing
But I'm the one that's hurting, and now my feeling's hurt
My next door neighbor tried to help
But in reality it’s his fault
I never call, it's so selfish
I see how people act, deceive you when you're black
Now the table's turned, putting dirt on your lap
This is the opposite of pain
This is Red Flame After the Fire
No I couldn't sleep, lost it all
My clothes and pictures
I'm asking God why me
A new cleanse will change up
Cause if I didn't change up
I would’ve never got my change up
Red Cross gave me a debit card, I was hurting
Sleeping in hotels, motels, curtains
No studio for weeks
I got houses
But I don't wanna be back in the hood
Cause they'll notice me
Thinking back to the old me
Cause when I was hurting I would show you that I'm hurting
And I expose the bleeding
Traumatized child born into a world
Where the Yankees have your back and a baby cooking crack
The alcohol got us living in a shack
There's people in the school that couldn't afford a hat
No starter jackets, I just started macking
Couldn't be a pimp, I ain't have a heart for smashing
I played my lane, and I protect my throne
Build my name
It got real when the officers came
Now I make sure that my office is clean
And the offer to gain
And I can't go back to depression again
Can't go back to them four walls
Looking out a window, screaming out my cell
Fishing for some info, dirt under my nails
Did more dirt than compost
I stayed calm when I was at the post
Some n***as got it then they went ghost
Who would have ever thought that I would have bought the Rolls Royce
Who would of thought that I woulda get the ghost
Who woulda ever thought that I'd be driving Bentley
Used to drive the bus, now I'm driving profit
Turn to income, now here I come
Red Flame After the Fire, Lil B yeah
[Outro]
They said we was done n***a
They said it-
They said it was over
Naw n***a we just starting
Red Flame After the Fire
Lil B mixtape let's get it
