Fire
A friend or a foe?
A little flame to light the eyes
A little heat to warm the rice
What lights the cannabis of blazing tokes?
What warms the hopes of the country folks?
Fire, fire, fire
Fire
A friend or foe?
A little flame close to the gas
A little heat close to the ass
What causes men to sprint like cats?
Tumbling like calabashes
Leaving behind their guts
And life’s work to burn into ashes
Fire, fire, fire
