Kid Ink feat. MGK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been from hell and back
When the heat is on
I fire back
In this cold world
Where your lighters at?
Lets burn it down
Fire back
You can tell them that
I've been from hell and back
When the heat is on
I fire back
In this cold world
Where your lighters at?
lets burn it down
Fire back
Uh, let's take it to the ground
Don't too many make it coming through our town
Looking for a detour nowhere to be found
When the pressure's on seems nobody's around
Uh, but I won't let 'em see me sweat
Yeah it took a little time,
But can't really be upset
Long way to the top,
I can barely see the steps
Yeah, they sleeping on me still
But I barely need to rest
See me standing here head high
Face up, I don't need no X-Ray
Show you what I'm made of
Tell 'em I paid my dues and
You can check the pay stubs
Never had a chance so
I had to go and make one
Say some, you can tell them that
I've been through hell and back
But I'm home, can't really complain when
It's the life that I chose
Sacrificed it all and everything that I owned
Say what doesn't kill me can only make me stronger
You can tell them that
I've been from hell and back
When the heat is on
I fire back
In this cold world
Where your lighters at?
Lets burn it down
Fire back
You can tell them that
I've been from hell and back
When the heat is on
I fire back
In this cold world
Where your lighters at?
Lets burn it down
Fire back
Yeah, can you feel the heat
The block is hot as ever
In these city streets
You only get one shot
Keep your arm steady
They tried to make me wait
But I'm more than ready
To go and get mine, grind like an in-line
Skater check your wrist watch you'll see that
This time it's my time,
And I don't need no invite
To the party, got roll over minutes and it
Feels like my calling, uh
I'm just doing what I can
With a whole lot of drive
Trying to make my own path
Take a chance, can't sit and worry about
No five year plan gotta live for the day
'Cause I could die where I stand
Tell 'em
You can tell them that
I've been through hell and back
But I'm home, can't really complain when
It's the life that I chose
Sacrificed it all and everything that I owned
Say what doesn't kill me can only make me stronger
You can tell them that
I've been from hell and back
When the heat is on
I fire back
In this cold world
Where your lighters at?
Lets burn it down
Fire back
You can tell them that
I've been from hell and back
When the heat is on
I fire back
In this cold world
Where your lighters at?
Lets burn it down
Fire back

You can tell them that
I have been through difficult times and overcome them
I've been from hell and back
I have faced extreme challenges and come out on the other side
When the heat is on
During times of pressure and stress
I fire back
I am resilient and respond with strength
In this cold world
In this harsh and unforgiving world
Where your lighters at?
Where is your passion and enthusiasm?
Lets burn it down
Let's bring our energy and passion to this situation
Uh, let's take it to the ground
Let's get real with the challenges we face
Don't too many make it coming through our town
Not many succeed in our environment
Looking for a detour nowhere to be found
Searching for a way out or an easier path, but there isn't one
When the pressure's on seems nobody's around
During difficult times, it feels like no one is there to support
But I won't let 'em see me sweat
I won't show my weaknesses or struggles to others
Yeah it took a little time,
This success didn't come easily or quickly
But can't really be upset
But I can't dwell on the past or negativity
Long way to the top,
It's a difficult journey to reach success
I can barely see the steps
It's hard to see the path to success, but I keep going
Yeah, they sleeping on me still
Others underestimate or underestimate me
But I barely need to rest
But I don't need a break, I keep pushing forward
See me standing here head high
I stand tall and confident
Face up, I don't need no X-Ray
I'm not afraid to be vulnerable or show my true self
Show you what I'm made of
I'll prove my strength and abilities to you
Tell 'em I paid my dues and
I have earned my successes through hard work and sacrifice
You can check the pay stubs
My hard work is reflected in tangible results
Never had a chance so
I didn't have a lot of opportunities
I had to go and make one
I had to create my own opportunities
Say some, you can tell them that
You can share my story with others
But I'm home, can't really complain when
But I'm happy with where I am now and won't dwell on past struggles
It's the life that I chose
I chose this path and will accept any challenges that come with it
Sacrificed it all and everything that I owned
I have given up a lot to pursue my dreams and goals
Say what doesn't kill me can only make me stronger
My past struggles have made me stronger and more resilient
Yeah, can you feel the heat
Can you feel the intensity and pressure?
The block is hot as ever
The situation is as intense and challenging as ever
In these city streets
In this harsh urban environment
You only get one shot
We only get one opportunity
Keep your arm steady
Stay focused and determined
They tried to make me wait
Others have tried to hold me back or slow me down
But I'm more than ready
But I'm fully prepared now and won't be held back
To go and get mine, grind like an in-line
To pursue my goals and work hard for them
Skater check your wrist watch you'll see that
If you check your time, you'll see how hard I'm working
This time it's my time,
This is my moment to shine
And I don't need no invite
I don't need anyone else's permission or approval
To the party, got roll over minutes and it
I'll always be ready to work and push forward
Feels like my calling, uh
I feel like this is what I'm meant to do
I'm just doing what I can
I'm doing everything I can to succeed
With a whole lot of drive
With intense motivation and determination
Trying to make my own path
I'm trying to create my own way forward
Take a chance, can't sit and worry about
I'm willing to take risks and not worry about failure
No five year plan gotta live for the day
I don't have a set plan and am living in the present
'Cause I could die where I stand
The future is uncertain, so I need to make the most of every moment
