Lyrics The Flame - Protoje, Kabaka Pyramid

The Flame

From the streets of Jamaica coming live and direct
Proto Diggy deh ya we nuh need no mic check
Step inna the place no badda disrespect
Just a warn the Ghetto yutes about the choice wah dem a make BOOM
La-di-da-di naa join nuh party
Look what the politician them do to Claudie
Look what the politician them do to Jim
Him son resurrect it and look wah them do to him
Cah them will use and dispose of you those who are close to you
If you choose to trod this road u nuh
So bredda bredda if you war tonight
Carry the scars of a Garveyite
Carry the fire of a Melchezidek
When you mind get a chance represent
Or you might a no pass the present so
No take them class love you fast then resent you
Want make it fast so them lost every cent too
So we go back to the ancient ways untold secrets that remained unchanged
Mentally get unchained a one goal a one aim a the same wah you saying
Got to stay through to the things you know are right
Nothing worth the gain you attain by sudden flight
Brother keep you goals in sight (true, true)
Even in the darkest night
Have faith in the father the one who shines your light
A palace pikney a, uh
Mercy me dem corrupt and covetous eeh
Cah from me eye deh a me knee a one thing natty a see
The intellect a prey upon the poor poverty
Nobody nah dance to a two party
Oppression brainwashing and nefarious schemes
To keep the have-nots where they think they ought to be
I man hear promises of better when the poll time close
Then a back to the same after winner announce
Rockstone a river bottom never know say sun hot
So many a me brother them trap inna the plot
Glock full a shot but no food inna pot
A wa wa wah kinda livity that
I an I a holla straight up wake up Sons of Jacob
Lay down their arms real tools you fi take up
Stay up way up sons of Jacob time to show the cowards what we made of
Got to stay through to the things you know are right
Nothing worth the gain you attain by sudden flight
Sister keep you goals in sight
Even in the darkest night
Have faith in the father the one who shines your light
So you’ve made it
Tell me what’s the basis
Thinking its so basic
Cruising in the A6
Naa thats an illusion in the matrix
When you miss the payments then they gon' come and claim it
You haffi be focused keep the brain fit
Keep the flame lit
Never twist it when you aim it
So what I’m saying simple and it plain it all look the same when it flushing
down the drain
Watch dem as dem strutting up the lane with the rope gold chain
Chrome suppin in a hand
Look up pon dem face touch a button if you can
Just fi try take you place a no nothing fi dem man
But that no matter cause another come along
And a run the place badder, hotter than the summer sun
Boof, I see the cycle a repeat playing god up in your palace
With disciples pon the street
Ease!
Got to stay through to the things you know are right
Nothing worth the gain you attain by sudden flight
Sister keep you goals in sight
Even in the darkest night
Have faith in the father the one who shines your light
