Through the Fire - YONAS, Emma Zander

Dear lord, I know its been a while

Still killing rappers is just apart of my style

Still keeping faith even though it’s harder to smile

Still married to the game, forever’s part of the vows

I’m a star, but still part of the crowd

On 'I Am Us' I began carving that out

I’ve been speaking truth between the marches and doubt

I’ve known the principles since principals was calling my house

Yeah, so just face it

Can’t solve how I kill, these ain’t verses, these are cold cases

'The Proven Theory' gave me 'Transition' to go places

So it’s about time you all rise for the ovation

Take it back to that cold basement

Where it all started, I don’t need a map, I know the location

Baby daughter on the way, I keep the throne waiting

And that’s where the everything I hold sacred

Dear Riley

You never have to search any farther than right here to find me

And the world’s been trying to get the devil to blind me

So the blessing of your presence is timely

Gotta be strong, gotta survive

So many things that I face

Let’s just find a way

Ohhh

Fly through the sky, burst through the fire

I’ll do whatever it takes

Let’s just find a way

Ohhh

I’m walking through the fire

Recently I am troubled by the things that I admire

I think I need a church, so somebody get the choir

Because I am no longer fulfilled by the things that I’ve accquired

Oh, damn, I think I should retire

Caught between making a family and taking music higher

Driving for the cliff, I feel the shaking in my tires

Right before I crash, see the faces I’ve inspired

And I give them faith through the wire

Life ain’t nothing pleasant, this the place we desire

Somewhere we can dream, and escape being tired

Tell me what you need and I’ll take you to the supplier

Tell me where you’re headed and I’ll pave the way

I ain’t trying to say that I’ll save the day

But if you need a seat, I’ll save a space

Take this map before it fades away

Dear Riley

You never have to search any farther than right here to find me

And the world’s been trying to get the devil to blind me

So the blessing of your presence is timely

Gotta be strong, gotta survive

So many things that I face

Let’s just find a way

Ohhh

Fly through the sky, burst through the fire

I’ll do whatever it takes

Let’s just find a way

Ohhh

Walking through the fire only made me stronger

Days are getting shorter, and the nights are longer

Suddenly the airs a little harder to breathe

Ohhhh

But I gotta be strong

Gotta be strong, gotta survive

So many things that I face

Let’s just find a way

Ohhh

Fly through the sky, burst through the fire

I’ll do whatever it takes

Let’s just find a way

Ohhh
