lirik lagu jones (rap) - roof on fire
[intro]
in this world so full of evil we must pray for all the people
children dying people hurting, i just wonder if it’s worth it
[verse]
and i, lord have mercy, i’m screaming lord have mercy
somebody come and save me think the devil’s tryna hurt me
or maybe its vice a verse like that pastor once said
and since we’re talking ’bout pastors not to mention-
one’s dead right along with a father, a mother, and someone’s sister
he murdered ’em while they worshipped
and we’re supposed to forgive him? how?
sway my perspective and i ain’t talking that ‘ye west
tryna find some answers this the hardest i done prayed yet
now they’re tryna save him by claiming that he was crazy
or temporary insanity acting like he ain’t plan to be
the devil in disguise while his eyes saw demise
and left some blood on them aisles
man i swear this world is wild
trying not to hold a grudge but i swear i got a vice grip
far from gabby douglas but i promise you i might flip
throw salt in that wound, guaranteed to make it sting
that b-st-rd is still alive and they took him to burger king
but let the roles reverse and the shooter one of my people
and not a baptist church but a roman catholic cathedral
he would’ve been six hundred and sixty six types of evil
and the bullets mutilating his body like they did jesus
[hook]
set the roof on fire, maybe we should let it burn
you may not feel it now, but i bet you’ll get your turn
’cause respect wasn’t given its something you gotta earn
and you’ll never get an ounce of that as far as i’m concerned
[verse]
lawd, forgive me
lawd please forgive me
i know it’s prolly sinning as softly as she’s been k!lling me
telling me not to let the world stress me
now come on over here and let me take all your aggression
just use your special tool and come fill up all my sp-ces
now give me that bic til you feel alleviated
i know its not too often but i swear that you’re the greatest
when you throw me on my back and then get deep with my pages
(in my pages)
man, its outrageous a place we should feel safest
can literally take us from praising to meet our maker
what if martin was your neighbor with malcolm touting as pastor
would your story carry-on for would that be the final chapter
there’s k!llers roaming free, while activists are in prison
should that roof cave in or should we hold up the building
there’s many more just like him
it’s frightening that we don’t know about
maybe if we set this roof on fire we can smoke him out
hmm.. well i don’t know ’bout that
every we time we get a grip, they keep holding us back
and by they… well you define whatever that means
but it don’t matter to you ‘less its on your flatscreen (hey)
[hook]
set the roof on fire, maybe we should let it burn
you may not feel it now, but i bet you’ll get your turn
’cause respect wasn’t given its something you gotta earn
and you’ll never get an ounce of that as far as i’m concerned [nope]
[outro]
in this world so full of evil we must pray for all the people
children dying people hurting, i just wonder if it’s worth it
