Shame the Devil Lyrics

[Hook]
Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
Fire, fire, internal fire
Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while
Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
Fire, fire, internal fire
Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while

[Verse 1: No Malice]
The price of hell has its benefits
I pray you not be ignorant
Clearly I am seeing with
My all-seeing eye, no pyramid

I, too, was a derelict
The truth raised me from the dead when I became aware of it

Riding Tony's coattails
Now Tony in a cold cell
Wife home, miss him a lot
She might wait, she might not

Looking at a whole family torn apart
Man, this game colder than a whore's heart
And we don't cop pleas
Never mind snitching, we better not sneeze
Did I scale them keys? You be the judge
Every good boy deserves fudge
[Hook]
Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
Fire, fire, internal fire
Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while
Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
Fire, fire, internal fire
Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while

[Verse 2: No Malice]
Led to the slaughter, precious is the blood
That stained the cross,
there's no greater love
Like the days of Noah, no greater flood
Than when them birds got shipped, no turtledoves
Maybe a few chickens
That I saved,
for the drought, when it was slim pickings
Then with one touch my soul became quickened
When I revisit my past my soul becomes sickened
Clock's ticking, go check your Audemar
The bezel on that Chopard will only get you so far
Mozart never tickled this many keys
And your favorite emcees ain't who they claim to be
The cat's out the bag, whoops! Shame on me
I don't fear death, they tell me it come in threes
Be ye not deceived, we reap as we sow
Life, too, comes in threes: Father, Son, Holy Ghost
[Hook]
Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
Fire, fire, internal fire
Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while
Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
Fire, fire, internal fire
Fire, fire they can't touch the fire
Cause a red hot fire gonna burn for a while
