Oh, he know the way that I take
And when he has tried me,
I shall come forth as pure gold
Have you been tried in the fire?
Have you been tried in the fire?
Have you been tried?
Yes
Have you been tried in the fire?
In the fire
Tell me have you been tried?
Have you been tried?
Like a phoenix, I arose from the ashes of the yester
Passed the days of lecture. Still, life is the professor
Now I amplify endeavors. My scepter and I, contenders
Without being a pretender, this presenter will not sever
To better his own position
Focused on the big picture, IMAX is the description
No holding back. No code to crack to witness that encryption
I won't diminish the depiction while I'm living with decisions
What I'm giving is from within
This living organism got ism inside the veins
The vision has a wider range that differ from night or day
Still, walking with G-O-D as he provides the way
Yea, Brown is the name and Gold-N-Brown I won't sign away
So I say.. (Yes) to what's moving me
Brought to me so congruently
Ought to be something truth will lead
Even darker times didn't ruin me
It's the beautiful combination
Yin and Yang have salutations
Taught me to value patience
While working to sell you greatness
Breaking's how it started, Hip Hop is now where my heart is
Through life, I became an artist. Now this fire burns regardless
I harvest from daily life
Remember some crazy nights
Some people with shady vibes
Shit, that time made me wise
Now with my way of life, aiming high is all I speak through
These shoes and experience, here it is through a preview
Seek truth through the journey while learning what it brings you
Whatever you desire, let the fire lead you
Have you been tried in the fire?
Have you been tried in the fire?
Have you been tried?
Yes
Have you been tried in the fire?
In the fire
Tell me have you been tried? (Trial by fire)
Have you been tried? (Trial by fire)
Like walking bare foot in the summer in Arizona
On the concrete, the strong heat could put you in a coma
Or you change the destination
Take away the hesitation
That fire under attire in the chest, it strengthens
The aiming, it lengthens. Better seeing further down
Like it's third and long, I'm playing strong while leaping verbal bounds
Ambition when thinking, nonfiction when speaking
The difference? I'm leading and believe in Earth renowned
With or without the word of mouth
B-R-O-W-N, learning through trouble God sent
Didn't go troubleshoot win, still earning my W in
What do you win if you don't even ever try?
That's why I encourage. The curse is leaving it inside
Believe in you and I, the reason I'm moving right
Is increasing my view of life and leaving my truth on mics
This dream improved my sight, gave me something to work towards
Now feeling like a vet, a soldier on their third tour
Words pour as I learn more through my timing in
Never minding who's denying him. My sight remains to climb and win
A genu-one's who Simon is. Dodging flats through the mileage
Lately I've been more dialed in. Verbal sword I've been filing
Putting my style in anything I come across
They say if you learned something, then the time wasn't lost
So if it cost to be the boss, I put my money where my mouth is
And with the fire steady burning, there's no way to douse it
Have you been tried in the fire?
Have you been tried in the fire?
Have you been tried?
Yes
Have you been tried in the fire?
In the fire
(Trial by fire)
(Trial by fire)
Tell me have you been tried (Trial by fire)
Have you been tried? (Trial by fire)
