Falcons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dem too soft like tortellini
Man ah roll up in a Lamborghini
With a fist full of bribes and his rhymes are cheesy
Don't act like say you need me
An ah chat bout how you whan fe breed me
Just cut dem off dem nah go see me
Escape quick just like Houdini
Bow to de queen like Nefertiti
Dem too sleazy, nah go see me
Pon Insta in a my bikini
Wish fe meet me, don't be greedy
Tell em roll out go dream ah genie
I sip tea while watching TV
And ah you've been read so you'll never read me
Me nuh get why dem act like dat
Tell me why dem act like dat
Stush gyal never act like dat
Mek em all ha fe snap right back
Know say dat me not like dat
Can't tek when dem act like dat
Why dem really ha fe act like dat?
Push me and me snap right back
They whan de feature, but I'm riding solo
Find out dem gyal a teef my flow though
Try lay low but I caught them 'oh no'
Singing it back just like Moloko
'Is that Stush?' Dem a tek me photo
Cor dem see one real life virtuoso
Pure madness when I play de promo
Falcons, Stush we a drive dem loco
'Yeah baby' can't lose my mojo
Natural high don't touch de 'fro though
You get kick round with one Minolo
Up and down just like a yo yo
Whan de cho cho? that's a no no
Kill dat dead as a dodo
After the show wid a glass of Merlot
Laid back wrapped up in my silk kimono
Me nuh get why dem act like dat
Tell me why dem act like dat
Stush gyal never act like dat
Mek em all ha fe snap right back
Know say dat me not like dat
Can't tek when dem act like dat
Why dem really ha fe act like dat?
Push me and me snap right back
Right back
Push me and me snap right back
Full of adrenaline dark with the melanin
Star sign Aquarian if you are querying
I am a veteran, ladies and gentleman
No David Letterman, but I am better than...
...A hit of heroin, any old medicine
Trust me it's only the power I'm peddling
Round a mi yard but I'm not in a tenement
Big up my family, my peeps and my bredrin
Me nuh get why dem act like dat
Tell me why dem act like dat
Stush gyal never act like dat
Mek em all ha fe snap right back
Know say dat me not like dat
Can't tek when dem act like dat
Why dem really ha fe act like dat?
Push me and me snap right back
Push me and me snap right back
In Falcons's song "Flame," Stush expresses her frustration towards people who act phony and try to get close to her for their own gain. She starts by warning them not to underestimate her by saying, "Stand firm don't t'ink me easy" and calling them out for being "too soft like tortellini." Stush further says that she won't tolerate people who try to use her, brag about wanting to breed with her, or don't respect her, warning them to cut off contact before she disappears like Houdini. She asserts her power and royalty by likening herself to Nefertiti and reveals that she sees through their greed, deceit, and superficiality.
Overall, Stush is challenging the societal pressure to be polite and accommodating when people disrespect or take advantage of her. Instead, she is standing up for herself and calling out their fake behavior. Through her confident and assertive tone, Stush inspires listeners to value self-respect and authenticity in their relationships.
