[Verse 1: Davey]
I'm from the biggest little city in the wild wild west
Reno, now you know, it's the city I rep
A little rain, but mostly fire
Though I tire and perspire through the mire I will rise again
Not from the city of sin, from the city that wins
White trash, catching fire, burning bright for my kin
Took my lessons pushing wood every day in the street
Get up early in the morning, cause my daddy always told me boy
'Wake up Jacob
Day's a-breaking
Coffee's boiling and the bread's a-baking
Roll out cowboy
Come and get it
Before I throw it out and spit in the sk**et'
Yeah so I finish up my breakfast, put away the ham
Now I never put a T on the end of can
Cantankerous hankering banging down the double doors
Hear my spurs jingle-jangle as I mount my horse
[Chorus]
I've seen fire and I've seen rain, yea-ah
I've seen fire and I've seen rain, yea-ah
I've seen fire and I've seen rain, yea-ah
I've seen fire and I've seen rain, yea-ah
[Verse 2: David Eff]
Now check it, I grew up inside the 495
In the shadow of the capitol is where I resided
Learned to talk real slick, and to keep my stride
Cause deep down I knew my future was already decided
I had a lot of people telling me off though
Had me marching in the line of a familiar barcode
But I restocked my reeboks, my walk was so co*ky
On the way I took some cheap shots, that would never stop me
So with nothing to my name but some rhymes and game
I took my dream to the coast, seeking fortune and fame
And I've been panning for gold but it ain't come up yet
It takes time to blow so I don't get upset
Cause I'm on it like a bonnet on a pioneer
And I'm the king like Crocket on this wild frontier
To my peers taking shots you can be my guest
Cause the Eff won't rest, 'til I'm known as the best
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Davey]
No more changing horses in the middle of the stream
Chasing dreams full steam, earn esteem with the team
We bringing meat to the table, putting marrow in your bones
To your head, shoulders, knees, and toes
Eyes, ears, mouth, and nose
Then we tickling your senses you ain't even know you had
So get your hands in the air like you was hailing a cab
And if you're down in the dumps and it ain't going swell
Here's a little anecdote that'll do ya well:
It takes both fire and rain to nourish a forest
To make it flourish make it grow and get that timber to tower
Deriving power from the sun and putting roots to soil
'Til the seed that you sow becomes a mighty sequoia
So its a given
I'm not gonna give in
I just keep on living
You know I never quit cause I'm driven
And when I'm done I'll pa** the mic to my next of kin
And 'til we meet again, I'll be dropping demos from my coffin
[Chorus] x2
