Miskeen - Flames

Man I came up in the streets, it turned me crazy

They call me Miskeen but then the streets done changed me

They rushed me cause I was small and on my own

So I went and brought a mask and a .380

Man I came up in the streets, it turned me crazy

They call me Miskeen but then the streets done changed me

They rushed me cause I was small and on my own

So I went and brought a mask and a .380

I was only fifteen, got with them olders, it came in handy

I knew Mum was gonna freak out so I cranked it off at my Auntie’s

It’s funny how time can change

Cah the same man that thought they were brave are now too scared to look me in

my face

It’s more than a music name; why they wanna call man Flames

Too erratic on the road so they put a lock on my cage

Mum said she missed me, sat down in, built up a rage

Depression, anger, can build something that just can’t be tamed

I smell the fear, they don’t want me back on ride-out

I’m the reason man had to close up shop and hide out

I kidnap dons like «You ain’t going nowhere brudda you’re mine now»

I take off fingers so you better get your bro on the phone right now

Man it’s scary the things that we do for paper

But paper’s the only way to change the way we live

When I say I’m with Maccy, Lucy and Layla

Don’t get it twisted, there’s no females in the whip

Man I came up in the streets, it turned me crazy

They call me Miskeen but then the streets done changed me

They rushed me cause I was small and on my own

So I went and brought a mask and a .380

Came up in the streets, it turned me crazy

They call me Miskeen but then the streets done changed me

They rushed me cause I was small and on my own

So I went and brought a mask and a .380

I was only young them times so what did you expect me to do?

Ever stuck up the plug and he reads out your address to you?

Tell me what would you do?

Of course guns got brought, bro I nearly brought Mum one too

Thought they could diss me, thought I was Miskeen till I went and flipped the

script on them

But now it’s all stutters and nervous greetings when they bump into me in the

ends

This lifestyle’s a fuckery, sitting in the dusty, it may not be right but it

pays the rent

In this game of sides you don’t trust a friend

Just like Lenny in Of Mice And Men

In Of Mice And Men you can’t trust no one and that’s what it’s like when you’re

out in the streets

Only get stabbed in the back by a friend, no one else could get close enough to

me

Ain’t no lions leading packs, now it’s just wannabes leading sheep

But I’m back now, opps got sat down when they were stuck on the wing with me

Man it’s scary the things that we do for paper

But paper’s the only way to change the way we live

When I say I’m with Maccy, Lucy and Layla

Don’t get it twisted, there’s no females in the whip

Man I came up in the streets, it turned me crazy

They call me Miskeen but then the streets done changed me

They rushed me cause I was small and on my own
