Streets On Fire (Remix) Lyrics

[Intro: Matthew Santos]
Tonight, tonight, tonight
The stars are aligned, and the planets colliding
The plan is arriving, and she's out there smiling
The fear is upon us, the skies tried to warn us
Their perils are goners, no children to mourn us
It's driving me crazy, this war is my lady
We've lost all our babies, and God is amazing
The tick of the timer, the slip of the rhymer, the pimp and the riser
Your cross, there you'll find her
Hey, hey

[Hook: Matthew Santos & Maestro Cam]
Death is on the tip of her tongue and
Danger's at the tip of her fingers
Streets are on fire tonight
Death is on the tip of her tongue and
Dangers at the tip of her fingers
Streets are on fire tonight

[Verse 1: Maestro Cam]
Let me tell you a story about a little boy
He always had nighttime dreams of glory
He wanted more than anything to be a rapper
Started out by putting his music online
In the beginning everybody loved him
Even though his quality was crappy
Everybody knew his lyrics were tight
But that all changed after song number uno
Never had any fans but he knew he
Could count on haters in advance but he
Kept on making music regardless
Cause in his eyes, everybody was a pussy
As in they didn't have the balls to do what
He did on a weekly basis
Which entails putting up his face
On the Internet to be disgraced
Day after day, night after night
They're tellin' him he sucks
And he shouldn't ever write
He might just get a knife
And go and slit his throat
Cause maybe they're right
That guy, he knows it all
Knife in my hand
Should I use it or lose it?
I don't really know
I just wanna make music
Knife in my hand
Should I use it or lose it?
I don't really know
I just wanna make music
[Hook: Matthew Santos & Maestro Cam]
Death is on the tip of her tongue and
Danger's at the tip of her fingers
Streets are on fire tonight
Death is on the tip of her tongue and
Dangers at the tip of her fingers
Streets are on fire tonight

Thank you
