Well i went down to the water but i never quite got clean
so i took a train to st. louis just to see what other people seen
i tried to fight the power but i never seem to win
i been down a long time but i'll be coming back again
cause i got fire, fire, fire
shot up in my bones.
i got fire, fire, fire
shot up in my bones.
now there's a feast upon my table
and i got polish on my boots
and i remember what my mama said, she said
"son don't forget your roots"
so i went back to where i came from
and i started all over again
but if you think you've seen the best of me,
you better look out now my friend
cause i got fire, fire, fire
shot up in my bones.
i got fire, fire, fire
shot up in my bones.
well i got lightning in my veins,
thunder in my soul
and i'm bringing down the fire
fire
fire
fire
shot up in my bones
i got fire
fire
fire
shot up in my bones.
i got fire, fire, fire shot up in my bones.
