YONAS - Through The Fire Lyrics

Dear lord, I know its been a while
Still killing rappers is just apart of my style
Still keeping fake even though it's harder to smile
Still married to the game, forever's part of the vows
I'm a star, but still part of the crowd
On 'I Am Us' I began carving that out
I've been speaking truth between the march as a dad
I've known the principles since principals was calling my house
Yeah, so just face it
Can't solve how I kill, these ain't verses, these are cold cases
'The Proven Theory' gave me 'Transition' to go places
So it's about time you all rise for the old faces
Take it back to that cold basement
Where it all started, I don't need a map, I know the location
Baby daughter on the way, I keep the throne waiting
And that's where the everything I hold sacred

Dear Riley
You never have to search any farther than right here to find me
And the world's been trying to get the devil to blind me
So the blessing of your presence is timely

Gotta be strong, gotta survive
So many things that I face
Let's just find a way
Ohhh
Fly through the sky, burst through the fire
I'll do whatever it takes
Let's just find a way
Ohhh

I'm walking through the fire
Recently I am troubled by the things that I admire
I think I need a church, so somebody get the choir
Because I am no longer fulfilled by the things that I require
Oh, damn, I think I should retire
Caught between making a family and taking music higher
Driving for the cliff, I feel the shaking in my tires
Right before I crash, see the faces I've inspired
And I give them faith through the wire
Life ain't nothing pleasant, this the place we desire
Somewhere we can dream, and escape being tired
Tell me what you need and I'll take you to the supplier
Tell me where you're headed and I'll pave the way
I ain't trying to say that I'll save the day
But if you need a seat, I'll save a space
Take this map before it fades away

Dear Riley
You never have to search any farther than right here to find me
And the world's been trying to get the devil to blind me
So the blessing of your presence is timely

Gotta be strong, gotta survive
So many things that I face
Let's just find a way
Ohhh
Fly through the sky, burst through the fire
I'll do whatever it takes
Let's just find a way
Ohhh

Walking through the fire only made me stronger
Days are getting shorter, and the nights are longer
Suddenly the airs a little harder to breathe
Ohhhh
But I gotta be strong

Gotta be strong, gotta survive
So many things that I face
Let's just find a way
Ohhh
Fly through the sky, burst through the fire
I'll do whatever it takes
Let's just find a way
Ohhh
