CHOIR – INTRO
Ooooooh…
Burning roads, broken souls…
Ooooooh…
Lost in smoke, but never fold…
⸻
UNCLE T – VERSE 1 (English)
I came up in the smoke where the sirens sing,
Lost boys on the block never made it to spring.
Friends gone to drugs, jail, death — no blink,
Memories hit hard every time I think.
Sixteen foot chases, running through the night,
At eighteen real charges, trying to stay right.
Breaches, bail, court — living in the firelight,
But I walk through flames like I’m built for the fight.
Lost my baby in the womb, pain cut deep,
But I’m still on my feet when the world wants me weak.
Life dropped bombs but I didn’t retreat,
Uncle T stays strong — that soldier technique.

CHOIR – SECTION 1
Ooooooh…
Through the fire we rise…
Ooooooh…
Soldiers through the night…
⸻
HOOK – UNCLE T + CHOIR (English)
Flames don’t faze me, I walk right through.
Lost so many but I’m still brand new.
Bombs keep dropping, sky ain’t blue,
But I rise from the ashes like soldiers do.
Flames don’t faze me, I push on strong,
Heart full of scars but I keep that song.
Life tried to kill me but it got me wrong,
I’m still burning — still burning on.

EL FUEGO – VERSE 2 (Dominican Spanish)
Crecí entre sombras, fuego en el corazón,
Panas se me fueron: muerte, cárcel, adicción.
La vida me dio golpes sin dar explicación,
Pero sigo de pie con pura determinación.
Perdí mi hijo antes de verlo respirar,
Esa herida todavía me quiere quebrar.
Pero sigo firme, no me voy a doblar,
Un guerrero de verdad nunca deja de luchar.
En mi barrio el fuego nunca se va,
Bombas en la mente, la noche no da piedad.
Yo y Uncle T somos pura resiliencia y verdad,
Dos soldados del fuego buscando la libertad.
⸻
CHOIR – SECTION 2 (BRIDGE)
Rise from the ashes…
Rise from the fall…
We carry the names…
We carry them all…
Flames in the city…
Shadows in the hall…
Still we march forward…
Still we stand tall…
Ooooooooh…
Through the fire…
Through the fire…

Fuego no me quema, yo sigo de pie.
Perdí demasiado pero nunca me doblé.

Flames don’t faze me, still walking through.

Ooooooh…
Rise… rise… rise…

UNCLE T – OUTRO (spoken)
If the world wanna burn, then I burn right back.
