Lyrics

[Intro]
No say haffi bun out the demons
No, mi haffi protect mi freedom
Give thanks every morning
No the most high never have mi doubt
As time progress, I just gaining the wisdom
I standing tall with the United Kingzdem
They have couple of mi breddas in the system
From a place called 'Bad Britain'
[Verse 1]
Yo, first things first
I'm second to none
Me, myself and I's the only time I'm third, mmm
Motivation nation flew the flag instead of birds
I've seen a man end up holy when he should have been at church
Oh Lord!
That's a different type of cost of living
Glad I didn't pay the price for what it's worth
I drop gems
Cah I'm tryna keep you down to earth
So reach for them 'cause they don't see the diamond in the dirt
I'm talkin' to the man in the mirror
He was down bad and now he's Michael Jackson in Thriller
Here's a, earth song all my kingmen fi bill up
Had this queen from Kingston she wan' get inna di picture
But I had to crop her out
Man are getting framed, there's no way I'm losing focus
Now that canons got lenses
I'm counting on all my sixth senses
Doing numbers independent
Paid in full cah we're the shottas now!
[Verse 2]
Light up di fire with the fronto
Murda the dance, call me John Doe
Emperor want a palace not a condo
Big ambition in the convo
I just want the milli's not the hundo's
Pressure can't make the rasta fumble
But mi stay forever humble
[Chorus]
I know the streets are talking
(Oh-woah-oh-oh-oh)
I know the badmind watching
I be on the go, jugging pon di road
Walking with Jah cos' he never fail us
Let a bredda know, we forever glow
Heart of a lion and we fearless
[Verse 3]
Call on the Lord when I stress my darg
Only Jah-Jah can remind me that I'm blessed my darg
When the money look calm I collect my half
Spend a penny on a pistol and a prayer my darg
[Verse 4]
What we on though?
I can't fear a thing that I don't control
Money, pussy, power got me cut-throat, hmm
Turn a fine line into a jump rope, hmm
Worldwide stepper, I was local
[Verse 5]
Still I greet my bruddas with a dun know
I could never judge on what they don't know
Stardog killin' my people but not quicker than the gunsmoke
Drums in the yard a couple bands in the bando
Quick money, live fast, die quick and then the funds go
Burn baby burn, city hotter than the front stove
Burn slow, heat might lift you like a fronto
Just another summer in the city that we come from, for real!
[Chorus]
I know the streets are talking
(Oh-woah-oh-oh-oh)
I know the badmind watching
I be on the go, jugging pon di road
Walking with Jah cos' he never fail us
Let a bredda know, we forever glow
Heart of a lion and we fearless
[Outro]
Morning to night
Dem wan' pree the I
What you tellin' I
Mi sing truth, don't ever lie
Greatness never run away
No dat mi affi stay
Badmind get bun away
Nah we don't need a reason
