Keep My Feet in the Fire (Mexico Song)
Words of John Charles Rood in blue
Words
of Joshua
Stetson Carter in green
…just so you know what
green is
if both of us are rappin’ at the same time: it’s just black
Verse 1
Joshua
Carter and Jrood
bringin’ back a tune for you
aint
no opportunity we could dismiss
we serve and then we serve it up, like this
comin’ at ya with a rap attack
you know we, kick it back like a hacky sack
we took a trip to catch a fire like tobyMac
and now we(‘re) back intact… woot!
Chorus
I been feelin’ ho hum for such a long time
I got to fill myself up with somethin’ divine
I got a burnin’ desire, to put my feet in the fire
I got a burnin’ desire, Lord keep my feet in the fire
Verse 2
We
went to
To
be plain, loosin’ it would be a shame
‘cause to live is Christ, and to die is gain
To live for this life would be insane
Felt
lame like Novocain
Stick
my foot in the fire and I feel the pain
Missions: we know it’s not a game
So all my J-freaks: help me fan the flame
Chorus
Verse 3
Your heart’s gotta be burnin’ before you start stirrin’ your friend’s hearts
Are you set apart by truth?
Are
you ready to show ‘em the proof?
Scream the good news from the top of your roof
“Cristo te ama”
That’s
what I did on a spiritual high, ‘cause I saw the need
to rep’ my El Shaddai
Don’t
you know time is passin’ by?
It’s you and I, and It’s do or die
Chorus
*scratching a clip
of JRood and JCarter sayin’ “Cristo te
ama”
btw, “Cristo te
ama” is “Jesus loves you” in Spanish*
Verse 4
You
gotta keep your eyes on Christ
The
things of this world will never suffice
Think
of Him in how you prioritize
He
saves us from eternal demise
The
elect gotta flex when in mex(ico).
It’s
not complex; leave behind your Rolex
If
you wa’na see the effects, leave time behind, and
you’ll
see that you’re blessed
Gotta rep’, gotta work,
We’
the salt and light
Even when it’s 98 Fahrenheit
By the sweat of my brow, even in the shade
Can’t
drink: concrete ‘s in my lemonade
We grab the shovel, and we sling the dirt
No pain to gain, come feel the hurt
But everything is worth it to me, ‘cause I’m livin’ for my life in eternity
Chorus
Have you been feelin’ ho hum for such a long time?
You want to fill your self up with somethin’ divine?
I got a burnin’ desire, to put my feet in the fire
I got a burnin’ desire, Lord keep my feet in the fire
If your wondering
what the phrase “keep my feet in the fire” is all
about, it’s a reference to
something that Puddleglum does in the book The Silver Chair
