letra de wildfire - starkey the messenger

[intro]
(think the city’s on fire
got these n-ggas goin’ crazy)
(yep, yep, yep)

[refrain]
this is our ultimatum, our mandate for salvation (jeez)
the status we been chasin’, just want to save our nation (mmhmm)
40 degrees in the spring, we see rainforests blazin’ (mmhmm)
treat black children like vermin
trapped in like foreign invasion
(yeah, yeah yeah)

[chorus]
this is a wildfire
we got the streets goin’ wild now yeah
we runnin’ riots now yeah
we’re burnin’ it right down, yeah
we makin’ noise in the silence
cause they quiet whеn the lights out, yeah
soon as the lights out
wе’re burnin’ it right down

[verse 1]
i ain’t been on the gram (yeah)
i’m stayin’ away cause i’m sick of the chat, (mmhmm)
performin’ online when they ain’t been about it
they chasin’ the clout and we breakin’ our backs
oh, i ain’t ever broke bad (nah)
i’m just makin’ music i do what i can, (ay, ay)
you give ’em a tenner they’ll bring you a baggie
you give me a tenner i’ll bring you a bag, (jeez)
oh, we just tryna’ stay alive, keepin the bank out the minus, (ay, ay)
think my city’s on fire, i’m watchin’ it spread like a virus, (yep, yep)
sirens patrollin’ our towns i know
the devil controllin’ from down below
they ain’t listened to the crowds and so
we burnin’ this town to the ground in smoke
[refrain]
this is our ultimatum, our mandate for salvation (jeez)
the status we been chasin’, just want to save our nation (mmhmm)
40 degrees in the spring, we see rainforests blazin’ (mmhmm)
treat black children like vermin
trapped in like foreign invasion
(yeah, yeah yeah)

[bridge – john boyega]
black lives have always mattered
we have always been important
we have always meant something regardless
and now is the time
i ain’t waiting

[chorus]
this is a wildfire
we got the streets goin’ wild now yeah
we runnin’ riots now yeah
we’re burnin’ it right down, yeah
we makin’ noise in the silence
cause they quiet when the lights out, yeah
soon as the lights out
we’re burnin’ it right down

[post-chorus]
(burnin’ it, burnin’ it,)
burnin it right down
(burnin’ it, burnin’ it,)
burnin it right down
(burnin’ it, burnin’ it,)
burnin it right down, (yeah)
(soon as the lights out)
we’re burnin’ it right down
[verse 2]
black mirror holdin us dearer
ghost note screams haunt us like thriller
snared to the screen and the sirens are singing
alarm bells ringing, they ain’t ever hear us
meghan dropped jewels for a citizenship
burn buckingham and build a new castle like shearer
now we got stacks but our royalties thinner
now we got bills but we’re cold in the winter
militant rats of the thatcher era
breakin our backs on the docks for our dinner
colour half cast but our skin still thicker
stones half thrown never crossin the river
sos with a tweet and a text (just pray that they hear us,)
tell me who’s next?
tell me who’s dead?
tell me who’s walkin the streets instead?

tell me why all these busies are all so busy
when n-ggas ain’t doin no crime?
tell me why all these k!llers are walkin free
bit of weed and a brother does time?
tell me why custody lookin like death row
and the metro tellin us it’s all fine?
cressidy tellin me met ain’t racist
how come we get searched 9 more times?
how can we get searched 9 times more
when white boys doin drugs times by 4?
coked up boys in the big deep south
and they pin blame on the black brothers up north?
why are black lives even seen as divisive?
tears our tides and it rips our centre
lose ourselves in a deep dementia
all we remember is ash and the ember. (wildfire)
