Band of Crooks - Dragon in the Mouth Lyrics

There's a beast inside me, needs to get out
Fork in the tongue, a dragon In the mouth
It's from deep inside me, it's what I'm all about
Smoke in the lung, flames are coming out
There's a beast inside me, needs to get out
Fork in the tongue, a dragon In the mouth
It's from deep inside me, it's what I'm all about
Smoke in the lung, flames are coming out

I won't stop I don't stop, jump into my melting pot
I'm so flaming hot it's like I'm frying in the wok
Yeah my feet are burning what? I burn it up to the top
My verbal hammer pulled back, my sick grammar just right
You know you wanna burn that, but po be after your pipe
It's like toke toke pass, inhale a bit of life
I be rapping at the stars out in pale moonlight
Spitting sixteen bars to a beat that's in my mind
I didn't grow up in the ghetto so I don't whinge and whine
Never done no time, never flexed a nine
Sure I've crossed the line and I've dabbled in crime
But then I was back across, before you could say time
Cold like winter frost, but I'm hot for my time
I was once lost, nobody gave a toss
Now I'm solid as a rock, I do it like a boss
Now I just can't stop, I got it on lock

There's a beast inside me, needs to get out
Fork in the tongue, a dragon In the mouth
It's from deep inside me, it's what I'm all about
Smoke in the lung, flames are coming out
There's a beast inside me, needs to get out
Fork in the tongue, a dragon In the mouth
It's from deep inside me, it's what I'm all about
Smoke in the lung, flames are coming out

I invoke dragon energy, slay any enemy
Mic up the weaponry, play a dark beat to me
I'll paint perfect pictures, framed with dark scenery
Emerging from a smoke cloud, the thick smoke of greenery
A slim silhouette, standing tall on a balcony
Chucking dolls off, like a dark mj parody
The medias' massing in massive numbers for miles
Looking like crocs on the Nile, snap you from atop of the pile
I'm still painting all the while, displaying my guile
Like a chess master with zero, losses on file
I swing my sword like a hero, destined as child
I say hi with a smile though, cos my temper setting's mild
I keep it well chained, the side of me that's wild
It's lankee with the raw style, band of crooks on course now
We Keep it far from sterile, live not a compressed file
Live so we can show you how, live so we can touch the crowd

There's a beast inside me, needs to get out
Fork in the tongue, a dragon In the mouth
It's from deep inside me, it's what I'm all about
Smoke in the lung, flames are coming out
There's a beast inside me, needs to get out
Fork in the tongue, a dragon In the mouth
It's from deep inside me, it's what I'm all about
Smoke in the lung, flames are coming out

Third verse going in and I'm about to begin
I'm a beast in my own skin, heart pumping deep whithin
My tail is coiling like a spring, my tongue whipping watch the sting
My fangs are wet with poison, I eat rappers with hoisin
I won't give you a choice in, your death or how it sets in
Six million ways ways, I'll keep you guessing
My words are Cyanide, a deathly blessing
I'm just here for the ride, I'm just scheming
You might wish you had died, last night dreaming
I'll be up in the scaffolding, nesting in bloody feathering
Focused on self bettering, into the fire I'm bellowing
Forgotten foes are festering, my middle finger gesturing
I'm landscape rendering, spraying with no lettering
F*ck all language sensoring, all my words are worth mentioning
I don't believe in hell, because I don't believe in sin
And Even heaven's a hard sell, if no one cool can get in

There's a beast inside me, needs to get out
Fork in the tongue, a dragon In the mouth
It's from deep inside me, it's what I'm all about
Smoke in the lung, flames are coming out
There's a beast inside me, needs to get out
Fork in the tongue, a dragon In the mouth
It's from deep inside me, it's what I'm all about
Smoke in the lung, flames are coming out
