Who Did That to You?
John Legend/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now Iโ€™m not afraid to do the Lords work,
You say vengeance is his, but Imma do it first.
Iโ€™m gonna handle my business in the name of the law.

Now if he made you cry, oh, I gotta know,
If heโ€™s not ready to die, he best prepare for it.
My judgementโ€™s divine, I'll tell you who you can call,
You can call.

You better call the police, call the coroner,
Call up your priest, have him warn ya.
Walk in no peace when I find that fool
Who did that to you, yeah,
Who did that to you, my baby,
Who did that to you,
Gotta find that fool who did that to you.

Now I donโ€™t take pleasure in a manโ€™s pain,
But my wrath will come down like the cold rain.
And there wonโ€™t be no shelter, no place you can go.
It's time to put your hands up, time for surrender,
Iโ€™m a vigilante, my lawโ€™s defender,
Youโ€™re a wanted man, here everybody knows.

You better call the police, call the coroner,
Call up your priest, have him warn ya.
Won't be no peace when I find that fool
Who did that to you, yeah,
Who did that to you, my baby,
Who did that to you,
Gotta find that fool who did that to you.

Now heโ€™ll keep on running, but Iโ€™m closing near,
I'll hunt him down, take ability,
If you see me coming near, who you gonna call?

You better call the police, call the coroner,
Call up your priest, have him warn ya.
Won't be no peace when I find that fool
You better call the doctor, call the lawyer,
I chase โ€˜em all the way to California,




Get my best trying to find that fool
Who did that to you

Oh, the fire, the fire
Oh, the fire, the fire
There's something in your heart
And it's in your eyes
It's the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
You don't say good luck
You say don't give up
It's the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
Yeah, and if I'm ever at the crossroads
And start feeling mixed signals like Morse code
My soul starts to grow colder than the North Pole
I try to focus on the whole of where the torch goes
In the tradition of these legendary sports pros
As far as I can see, I've made it to the threshold
Lord knows I've waited for this a life time
And I'm an icon when I let my light shine
Shine bright as an example of a champion
Taking the advantage, never copping out or canceling
Burn like a chariot, learn how to carry it
Maverick, always above and beyond average
Fuel to the flame that I train with and travel with
Something in my eyes says I'm so close to having the prize
I realize I'm supposed to reach for the skies
Never let somebody try to tell you otherwise
There's something in your heart
And it's in your eyes

It's the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
You don't say good luck
You say don't give up
It's the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
One love, one game, one desire
One flame, one bonfire, let it burn higher
I never show signs of fatigue or turn tired
'Cause I'm the definition of tragedy turned triumph
It's David and Goliath; I made it to the eye of the storm
Feeling torn like they fed me to the lions
Before my time starts to wind down like the Mayans
I show 'em how I got the grind down like a science
It sounds like a riot on hush; it's so quiet
The only thing I hear is my heart--I'm inspired
By the challenge that I find myself standing eye to eye with
Then move like a wise warrior and not be a coward
You can't escape the history that you was meant to make
That's why the highest victory is what I'm meant to take
You came to celebrate, I came to cerebrate
I hate losing; I refuse to make the same mistake
Oh, the fire, the fire
Oh, there's something in your heart
(The fire)
There's something in your heart
(The fire)
There's something in your heart
And it's in your eyes
It's the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
You don't say good luck
You say don't give up
It's the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
Oh, the fire
Inside you
The fire
Inside you
The fire
Inside you
