Devil’s Fire

Some days I'm older than pa, some days I'm 21

Some days I'm infantile, but that's only when it's fun

Sometimes I'm momma's baby, sometimes I'm momma's pain

But I'm always God's son even when I'm inside the flame

I had to tell Bubba, "Stop fuckin with Andy, please

You see he's just tryin to live, and salvage what sanity

is left," every breath is humility versus FUCK y'all

Strapped on my big boy shit, and stood up tall

We came a long way from houses with dirt floors

to country boy turf wars, and this music ain't yours

All that I got to give 'em is everything that I gave

But they gave me nothin but pain, respect I have to take!

And tell me what is fake, I'm fuckin unfamiliar

Say what I mean, mean what I say, I have a plug to filter

Perhaps I feel the heat, maybe the flame engulfs me

But you will not sit on the fence about me, hate or love me!

Standin in the devil's fire

Loadin up the furnace with black coal

I'm standin on a tight rope wire

Over the void that fills my soul

I'm burnin aliiiiive

In flames of desire

I'm standin in the devil's fire...

I'm standin in the devil's fire...

Yeah yeah we all know, I fucked off a shitload

of money and did mo', dope in a fish hole

We all know I'm washed up, we all know it's been over

We know I can't get sober - anything else?

Oh yeah, Timbaland don't fuck with me no more

He's fed up with me of course, I still love him, he's my boy

The only thing I do know on some days is keep goin

Keep bustin, keep flowin, I'm somebody's hero and

the great thing about life is as long as you got it you got a

chance to do somethin about the room full of doubters that's crowded

I need to know they there, they are so vital to me

As long as they can boo-hoo, I know that I can do me!

The warmth of the devil's fire has me come uncovered

Through it all I call it caused but what it wasn't, was it?

It keeps me up and runnin, the past is the cold

The stove's the furnace of my soul, WHOA!

Standin in the devil's fire

Burnin out the soul that bears my shame

In the kingdom of thieves and liars

If I could just go back again

I'm all out of looooove

And the flame's burnin higher

I'm standin in the devil's fire...

I'm standin in the devil's fire...
