1. Noel Miller is a member of… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists named Noel:
1. Noel Miller is a member of the American comedy hip-hop duo, Tiny Meat Gang.
2. Noel Pagan, a Cuban-American born New Yorker, hit the ground running with the release of his knockdown dragout smash dance single, "Silent Morning," released in the first half of 1987. We had to wait until September of 1988 for his first album to be released in its entirety. Another hit to come off was "Like A Child," while songs like "Change," and "City Streets," among others, further demonstrated Noel's writing skills and vocal talent.
In 1990, Noel cameo'd on "How Could You Have The Heart," by fellow Freestyle artists Girls Club, as well as releasing the maxisingle "The Question," a collaboration with Tony Moran, which proved to be another powerful megahit for him. One of those songs that as soon as you hear it, you've got no choice but to hit the dance floor. If one puts it together, this 1990 tune could almost be a continuation of the story told in "Silent Morning."
When 1993 rolled around, "The Questionm" was re-released on a project which included several artists, the end result being the album "Concept Of One." However, Noel found his musical heart in a different place at this point, and decided to experiment with "pop-rock. ' The album entitled "Hearts On Fire," continued to showcase his maturing writing ability, and proved further vocal range for the deep-voiced artist. One of the songs was even featured in an episode of "Baywatch." Despite the quality of this album, it wasn't accepted very well by the general public, as many of them couldn't get the "freestyle artist," label out of their head when it came to Noel.
September, 2001 brought us Noel's new one, a collaboration with producer FORD. "Will I Find True Love." Going for "trance / tribal," now, Noel is currently working on an album with the likes of Eddie Arroyo and Eddie Baez.
3. Leonid Malkov a D&B producer professionally known as Noel emerging from the town of Vladivostok, Russia. Releasing on labels including Ram, Fokuz, ProgRAM, Critical, Citrus, Syndrome, Demand, IM:Ltd, Peer Pressure, Addictive Behaviour.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you step out of line and you do it twice
They'll throw you a thin lie
And tell you how this is the way of life
How long must I wait
Just one of a crowded human race
I won't wait forever
I am a part of the
A victim of
The city streets
I'm on the wild side
I rule with pride
Keep this is mind
I tried to remember
A time when I thought I was in the right
But time couldn't change me
And alone that I learn rearrange my life
I do anything
To recapture the simple life I lived
But I won't live in sin
So give me some space, let me show my face
I am a part of the
A victim of
The city streets
I'm on the wild side
Keep this is mind
I rule with pride
I am a part of the
A victim of
The city streets
I'm treated royally
By those who know
My heart's too cold
They'll never accept you
If you do what you want and you do it right
They're trying to get you
To give up your proud wild way of live
But so many dreams
Are always a thousand streets away
I won't wait forever
So give me some space, let me show my face
I am a part of the
A victim of
The city streets
I'm on the wild side
Keep this is mind
I rule with pride
I am a part of the
A victim of
The city streets
I'm treated royally
By those who know
My heart's too cold
I am a part of the
A victim of
The city streets
Noel's song "City Streets" addresses the pressure society places on individuals to conform to a specific way of life. The lyrics suggest that there is an expectation to fall in line and follow what society deems acceptable, and those who dare to step out of line are shunned and perhaps even treated as outcasts. The song highlights the intense desire one can feel to live a life that is not constrained by the expectations of society, but to instead live life on their own terms.
The first stanza of the song speaks to the concept of being labeled and blamed for your mistakes. The lyrics suggest that if you make a mistake, people will not only judge you for it, but they will hold that mistake against you forever. This is especially poignant for individuals who step out of line more than once - society does not give individuals the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them. Instead, they are punished for it, almost indefinitely. The chorus of the song, "I am a part of the victim of the city streets" suggests that the singer is a victim of society's expectations, and the pressure that it places on individuals.

They'll blame you forever
You will be held responsible eternally
If you step out of line and you do it twice
If you disobey twice
They'll throw you a thin lie
They will deceive you with a flimsy excuse
And tell you how this is the way of life
And justify their actions with the claim that it's how life works
How long must I wait
How much more time must I endure
Just one of a crowded human race
Just another face in the midst of many others
I won't wait forever
I won't be patient indefinitely
So give me some space, let me show my face
Give me freedom to express myself
I am a part of the
I am included in the group of people who
A victim of
Suffers as a result of
The city streets
The urban environment
I'm on the wild side
I have a rebellious nature
I rule with pride
I have a sense of self-respect and authority
I tried to remember
I attempted to recall
A time when I thought I was in the right
A period when I believed my behavior was justified
But time couldn't change me
But I remained unaltered over time
And alone that I learn rearrange my life
And only when I was alone did I realize I needed to make changes in my life
I do anything
I will do whatever it takes
To recapture the simple life I lived
To recover the uncomplicated existence I had before
But I won't live in sin
But I refuse to engage in immoral behavior
I'm treated royally
I receive preferential treatment
By those who know
By those who are aware of my true nature
My heart's too cold
I lack sympathy or compassion
They'll never accept you
They will never approve of you
If you do what you want and you do it right
If you act according to your own desires and you do it correctly
They're trying to get you
They are attempting to influence you into
To give up your proud wild way of life
To abandon your self-respect and rebellious lifestyle
But so many dreams
But there are many aspirations
Are always a thousand streets away
That are always beyond reach
