Have you ever had somethin' that you knew you had to say
But the message wasn't so pretty, couldn't say it the nice way
Kinda like you're jealous, you're selfish, you got a bad attitude
Gotta watch the way you livin', 'cause it all comes back to you
See my grand mamma told me that I'd better tell the truth
'Cause if I hold this information and just let it brew
It's gon' feel like
Boom
First comes the match and then the smoke and then the fire
Boom
You feel the flames and then it grows and takes you over
Boom
It burns a while, can't calm it down like explosion
Boom
Gotta tell it, I got, got to tell it, Jeremiah said it's like fire
Boom
You don't seem to have a problem when my language is profane
But you're offended and insulted when I say in Jesus' name
Still I close my eyes, I bow my head and fall to my knees
'Cause my conviction is much stronger than my knees would please
See my grand mamma told me to better tell the truth
'Cause if I hold this information and just let it brew
It's gon' feel like
Boom
First comes the match and then the smoke and then the fire
Boom
You feel the flames and then it grows and takes you over
Boom
It burns a while, can't calm it down like explosion
Boom
Gotta tell it, I got, got to tell it 'cause Jeremiah said it's like fire
I've been holdin' back too long, just been goin' along
But I've got somethin' to say, need to make a little bit more noise
Have the confidence to use my voice startin' today
There's a hope you can't deny, there's a love that never dies
A power that you just can't hide, too brief to keep inside
Boom
First comes the match and then the smoke and then the fire
Boom
You feel the flames and then it grows and takes you over
Boom
It burns a while, can't calm it down like explosion
Boom
Gotta tell it, I got, got to tell it, Jeremiah said it's like fire
Boom
First comes the match and then the smoke and then the fire
Boom
You feel the flames and then it grows and takes you over
Boom
It burns a while, can't calm it down like explosion
Boom
Gotta tell it, I got, got to tell it 'cause Jeremiah said it's like fire
