Fight Fire With Fire
Ran-D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've tried, to run and hide
Inside, myself
I've tried, to run and hide
Inside, myself

Got the heart of a lion, the eye of a tiger
Got the arms of a giant, Iron Mike fighter
Kings of the jungle, no time to be tired
We bite and we strike like some spiders
And vipers, bitch we fight fire with fire

I've tried to run and hide for way too long
Getting too comfortable, can't make it my home
A familiar place, that I want to be, that I want to see
But it holds me back and makes me too blind to see
There's a better me
That I could present to everybody
Makin' music, it's not just a hobby
Tony D, sold me this beat, sitting in his lobby
And if you're talking shit about Shuga
Oops, I'm sorry
Cause man, we got bills to pay
And it is no game, so why you stay
In the same old lane, we got shit to do
Lions to tame, we 'bout to light your ass up like a fuckin' flame

Often times, seems like I'm off the chain
Like a poltergeist
Most people can't see me, most don't even know my last name
But don't be ashamed
I came with many men with many names
Soon to be aquatinted, ornated with dames and diamond rings
Uncommon things, we call em commonplace
Round this building
There ain't nothing but Our minds to chase
Find you place, unless you choose to withdrawal
Off the scripts of Adderall, I used to take em, but now
Now all I do is spit raw, don't need no chemicals or capsules
If we go to war, I'll take this pencil into battle
Once we leave the scene, the way this story will unravel
Find you face down in the gravel, up shits creek without the paddle
Can't even fathom the thought
I've been all up in the clouds
But I ain't seen one of y'all
Still in the same damn place, at the same fuckin' bars
Spitting the same damn lyrics, to THE SAME FUCKIN SONGS
Doesn't that get old
And I ain't saying it's wrong
But you keep speaking of improvement
How the hell you climb a ladder without even fucking moving
Y'all are clueless. But I guess I'll spit hard until I'm toothless
And disregard all of these clowns saying we really out here doing this

Got the heart of a lion, the eye of a tiger
Got the arms of a giant, Iron Mike fighter
Kings of the jungle, no time to be tired
We bite and we strike like some spiders
And vipers, bitch we fight fire with fire

Hot damn! I just rolled a blunt up that shit got like five grams in it
Feel like jelly when I'm rolling, homie it's a jam
I just took my flow and sold it
Then I kind of ran with it
Everybody trippin', I don't even give a damn
I am different, from the seed I was planted, didn't plan this shit
The pain killed me, the pills, Xan's and ambiens,
But I rose like a phoenix, with the heart of a champion, uh
I was down, couldn't quit, man this can't be it
Paranoid, doing drugs, scared of panicking
Got a brand-new bitch, and she the fanciest
Ample positions man, I can't resist
I do this for my family and friends
Have you ever had your family leave in ambulances, for peace and ambience can't exist
If we stand there and SIT like some mannequins, uh

Got the heart of a lion, the eye of a tiger
Got the arms of a giant, Iron Mike fighter
Kings of the jungle, no time to be tired
We bite and we strike like some spiders
And vipers, bitch we fight fire with fire

Fire with fire, fire with fire
Yeah, fire with fire, fire with fire
Yeah, fire with fire, fire with fire

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've tried, to run and hide
Inside, myself





Yeah, fire with fire, fire with fire
