Come at me, and you'll see
I'm more than meets the eye
You think that, you'll break me
You're gonna find in time
You're standing too close to a flame that's burning
Hotter than the sun in the middle of July
Sending out your army but you still can't win
Listen up, silly boy, 'cuz I'm gonna tell you why
I BURN!
Can't hold me now
You got nothing that can stop me!
I BURN!
Swing all you want
Like a fever I'll take you down!
