[Intro: sound of dragon flying, followed by dragon breathing fire]
[Verse 1]
I'm fed up of people talking shit
I'm fed up of people talking myths
Like I'm the one you wanna be with
But next you'll be in bed with him!
Thrown me in, but I can not swim
In all this fucked up pool of sin -
Bleeding me dry; deep within
Made me weak; broke my skin
I have lost, but thought I'd win
On my own I'm surviving
It's clear that I'm not thriving
Hell, I must be a dragon
The way mi roast ah be draggin'
These thots that cyah nah stop slating
Anyone wanna tell a man wah he haffi do to stop all dis hating?
[Chorus]
The skies are burning, there are flying flames
Your cheats are working, but I'll win this game
[Verse 2]
Now they know me as The Fire Mage
Who has a dragon that sets ablaze
They say that rage burns through my veins
Thanks to the vindictive games you play
Can you tell me why you've betrayed
Your friend who had only an aim
To brighten your dying flame?
The tales that you'd told
Were so loud;
That I had foolishly allowed
Myself to be deleted when I speak aloud
To the consuming, growing crowd
You must be so fucking proud!
What did I do to cause you pain?
Cos now I'm gonna have to end your reign
You were wrong to think that I was weak
Cos you could never, ever be in my league -
Switch up my flow so easily
Like every time you speak, It should be treason
You lie so much, like what is the reason?
When I create it's summer all across the region
Rhymes so hot winter's skipped for the season
Oh please
Why win's guaranteed
Concede
You'll never be like me
- sips tea!
To be honest with you I'd forgot you existed
Until i was the villain that you had depicted
In your twisted, persistent quest
So really why are you so obsessed?
Know what? Fuck you & your group too
You look the same, 'xcuse me, who are you?
I ain't got a clue
I'm waiting for an apology that's way overdue
But keep it, mi done, cah mi through
You've burnt our bridges, guess what? Fuck you
[Chorus]
The skies are burning, there are flying flames
Your cheats are working, but I'll win this game
[Bridge]
Your shadows tried to extinguish my flame
But my magic banishes your shame
I can be selfish but I'll take the blame
I wonder is you could ever do the same?
[Chorus]
The skies are burning, there are flying flames
Your cheats are working, but I've already won this game
