| 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 |

| 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 |
