lyrics
Swallowing Fire featuring Dane Ferguson
Verse 1, Chuckie Campbell
Sometimes, it feels like
this is all I have left
My heart’s breaking,
rubber cords snapping back
in my chest
I lost everything
when I was finding myself
No longer seeking your approval
I ain’t holding my...breath
Yes, with nothing to believe in,
in prisons disguised as freedom,
I’m swimming deep in the meaning,
seeking more than simple reasons
that we wake up and push
instead of spend our whole adult lives
healing broken childhoods --
Look, I choose to live my life
on the other side of fear,
so long after I’m gone,
long after a song,
my spirit will live on,
and you can visit it --
here
Chorus 1, Dane Ferguson
Lost in smoke, swallowing fire
End of the rope, down to the wire
I’ll never give up
I’m a fighter
Soaring toward the sun,
I’ll overcome
Verse 2, Chuckie Campbell
Maybe it’s not real enough...
Let me back up, make some sense,
so that I’m clear enough
Let’s be honest, what is honest
just ain’t real...enough,
when the real ain’t realistic
and the truth ain’t what we...trust
Nothing’s what it seems
in a city so cold
that you have to carry heat,
where teens are eating tide pods
and sharing dank memes,
an addict’s sad eyes
become an empty, dark...street
Why? Why wouldn’t you dream...
that Harambe saves babies?
Eric Garner can breathe?
The flow is Doc Ellis
pitching on LSD,
an Instagram post
with tears from Tyreese
Rap is DJ Vlad without Lord Jamar,
an elevator ride with Ray Rice and Solange,
haters like a bunch Vince Staples on bath salts,
who sound better in their interviews
than in their own
songs
Chorus 2, Dane Ferguson
Lost in smoke, swallowing fire
End of the rope, down to the wire
I’ll never give up
I’m a fighter
Soaring toward the sun,
I’ll overcome
Verse 3, Chuckie Campbell
Our love is brilliant,
bending time in a prism of raw feeling,
the physics and endless space
without conditions or limits
I see it vivid,
visit moments meant for more
than to live them,
but to connect, interject –
give myself to the rhythms,
and if you’re smart enough listen,
let's be honest a minute
Some will think that this is dope
Some will think that it isn’t
Some will give up on their dreams
for somebody’s opinion
The best part about my art
is the fact that it’s different
I care more if you relate
than if you think that I’m spitting,
care less about the bars
than if you feel what you’re hearing
I put away the phony punchlines...
big words and the gimmicks
Why would I cover up my soul
if my goal was to reach you?
And, to grow, now I know,
I’m not above or beneath you
but more importantly,
I hope you see
the whole human being
Every scar and every flaw,
dark piece of my heart,
every song is just a shadow
resembling God
Chorus 3, Dane Ferguson
Lost in smoke, swallowing fire
End of the rope, down to the wire
I’ll never give up
I’m a fighter
Soaring toward the sun,
I’ll overcome
