This song is somewhat of a strength chant for me. It's a song of perseverance, Black folk, faith, trust, and personal accountability for me...I absolutely love this song. One of my favorite songs of all time.


The Heat
By Angie Stone

Hope this is enough said
Ain't got time for you, I'm makin' up my own bed
Hope this don't offend you
Yes, I'm salty and I got an attitude
I've been saving up soul like a field rat
Keepin' up by stashing funk in my backpack
Watching other's slide back on politics
Guess to know the game is to know the tricks

If you can't stand the heat, get out the kitchen
If you can't stand, stand the heat get out the kitchen

Ooooooh....Oh no, listen
Went to church on Sunday mornin'
On my knees while I was prayin'
Askin' God for the strength to
To just keep on winning (He said)
Just keep your soul sacred and store your knowledge safely
Your heart is good as gold, I got you in my fold

And if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen
If you can't stand the heat...
