"Hey Kaminari," asks Shoto. "What's Burn It All Down about?"
"OH," blushes Denki. "I kinda had a anxiety attack when I was in middle school, and had a lot of bullies make fun of me for it. So I wrote this song to remind me who I am."

"This ain't where the legends come from

You're not what a hero looks like
Pretty little flower, won't you sit back down and go play nice?"
"Who," asks Jiro.

"My bullies. This next part is to me."

"So keep talking, keep laughing
One day you'll wish you hadn't
All the people want fire, fire
Maybe it's time they meet their dragon

If you're gonna hold me down
You're not gonna let me in
Into your castle walls
None of you can keep them"
"WHAT," cries Class 1-A as the beat dropped. "Dude!"

"'Cause if I gotta
Bu-bu-burn it all down
Then we'll burn it all down
My, oh my, look at who ends up bigger this time
And if I gotta
B-b-break it all down
Then let's break it all down
Bye, bye, bye
Playing with fire
And we'll burn it all down (down, down, down, down)

This is where the bruises come from
This is when the game gets ugly
These blood, sweat, tears keep running
Licking my plate 'cause I'm so hungry

Keep talking, keep laughing
One day you'll see what happens
All the people want fire, fire
It's about time they meet their dragon

If you're gonna hold me down
And you're not gonna let me in
Into your castle walls
None of you can keep them

'Cause if I gotta
Bu-bu-burn it all down
Then we'll burn it all down
My, oh my, look at who ends up bigger this time
And if I gotta
B-b-break it all down
Then let's break it all down
Bye, bye, bye
Playing with fire
And we'll burn it all down (down, down, down, down)

It starts right now
Baby, you're surrounded
Put your money where your mouth is
Bury your doubts under the ground
And they gonna watch you step over the ashes
Right now I'm taking my turn with the matches"

"What do you mean by that," asks Shoto.

"Oh just that all of this bullying wasn't going to hurt me," smiles Denki softly. "I was still going to be a hero, even if my quirk made me stupid."

"'Cause if I gotta
Bu-bu-burn it all down
Then we'll burn it all down
My, oh my, look at who ends up bigger this time
And if I gotta
B-b-break it all down
Then let's break it all down
Bye, bye, bye
Playing with fire
And we'll burn it all down."
