Iron Fire Songtext
von Mic Righteous

I can hear the fire talking to me
Tell me you′ve been passed the torch
I hear the fire talking to me
Tell me that you are important
Hear the fire talking
Spoke of challenges that are in store
And I ask if I have the heart to bear the stuff I walk with, look
The spark is dimming, dark is dawning
Demons from my past are calling
Suicidal thoughts come crawling, back to me I can't ignore it
And there′s the fire talking
Saying you came too far to forfeit
Just think of all the aching arms that played a part to build this
I can't take apart the fortress
Yet we're so quick to forget
We say our fathers forgive
He built the arc and we destroyed it
Maybe all the drama that we′re facing is just karma
For the carnage that we′re causing
I'ma walk into the heart of the storm


And ask for a chance to sort it
′Cause I can't applaud it, if you can it′s cool
You're accountable for your sins
I′ma count up all of my sins
And counter all this bullshit
We just cower in the corner
Until we have no calling
It's in our nature to explore shit
But emotions get exploited
There should be no poor, or rich
We should all just play our part
To help the world we're in
So we′re free from selfishness
Where before we save ourselves
We′re saving someone else's skin
Too much greed
Can′t seem to shed the sense of helplessness
Like homeless people with no shelter when the hail hits
Like talking to your girl and kids
From a jail that smells of piss
The reality that I rap about is as real as the cell they're in
You got an album that′ll sell
My albums gonna sail the ship
For everyone that's like myself
They′ve been through hell, they held it in
The system threw the hook
You bit the bait and you fell for it
The world we're in is unwell
It's like the Devil is welcome here
Yeah, what if the Earth just stopped turning?
The universe stopped working
And fire filled these skies
And the Earth began to burn
Would you all learn to forgive?
I feel deserted like I burnt every bridge
This life′s a curse and a gift
I feel the heart of the world hurting
I just put it in to words in my head
Then let you look inside my closet
On some personal shit
I′ve seen fire, seen violence
Seen murder and sin
Disarray, missing planes
I felt turbulent winds
More claims, crooked policemen
And they're bursting at kids
More claims than Jimmy Saville
Fucking perving on kids
Hurling abuse at the Gogglebox
When I turn on the news
Nurses refuse to be slaves
Are these constant cuts not enough?
Consumers need pay, we steal
We kill, we rape, each day
Blood′s being spilled in Ukraine
Children being killed
And we complain when they emigrate to the U.K
There ain't enough space for you
Two kids in that suitcase
Who′s to blame? neck in the noose
Newsflash, we the new slaves
We vermin, take something beautiful and burn it
Tell ourselves that we ain't perfect
Tell ourselves that we are worthless
How do we know ourselves
When we do no soulsearching?
They wanna lock us in cages
In case we find our soul purpose
Oh, still so far from freedom
Bbut at least i ain′t the furthest, no
There's a war between us
Believe me I'ma be the first in, yo
A brutal fight between the truth and lies
I know who I am serving
I′ma serve them with these verses
Who′d have thought I'd be a wordsmith
It′s the 21st century
The internet's a place of worship
So I′m rapping on the radio
Tryna reach my generation
They ain't singing hymns
And they ain′t listening to sermons
You question my heritage?
Born in Britain, blood is Persian
Due to circumstance
Had to fit in with a certain clique
Grew up on the church-in the church
Can't call myself a Christian or a Muslim
I'm a person
Viewing every day worse and shi-
Who wants pain?
I′ve seen a familiar face in Syria
Waiting to get strapped with that AK
Sent on, that long way
I′ve lost mates, can't follow religion
We′re killing in God's name, using God′s name in vain
For God's sake
I′ve got faith, I do pray
I want change, you want chains
I've been around the pain
This shit it wasn't fame
These man just act like they′re famous
And you think that they′re actually famous
I tried rap for the fame too
Got a pengting 'cause that′s what they do
Got arrogant online
'cause you have to be hated
Then it backfired in my face
Feel like someone inside of me trying to escape
They say that the real me is hiding away from the (Power)
Spoke to my brother the other day
Yeah I′ve been told I'm a runaway
He said my entire fate relies on this time and place
So I′m up from, 9 'til 8
My eyes are tired, my eyes are wide awake
My mates are wired for days, I'm tryna change
I wanna go back, I′m finding ways
In a situation only I can change
I′m high and low, and I'm high again
I tried to solve it through fighting
I ain′t resolving no violence pissed
Why is my son never smiling?
Why do I have to sell drugs to provide for him?
Why is my father crying again?
Why is he saying his life is shit?
Why is he saying his mind is like a prison?
It's like he never left prison
Answers, I′ve got none to give him
Fuck all your trends and your millions of views
Beause I have a vision
All I can give is my pride when I spit on this mic
Yeah it's Mic, I′ma kill it
This minute in time, I'm the shit, I'ma shine
God willing you feel it, it′s Righteous, listen
For all of the people that told me I couldn′t
The policemen, the teachers
The hoodrats, the hookers
You shouldn't have give me this bullet
I put it inside of this shotgun
Instead of me shooting myself in the head
I just put it to them, pop one
All I′ve got is one shot son
You rappers are pop tarts
You chatting to top charts
And I channel a lost art
You man have forgot heart
And man I've just got art
Come with a passion when I′m on the mic
When I'm done, I just dash it, like that′s it I'm gone
