3rd Strike
Lost Angel
City's On Fire
Burn
my cit's on fire
burn
modern day tragedy
crim on the rise
police brutality
my reality's B-A-D
cuz the F-A-C-T of the matter's
getting sadder
check it
no unity in my community
everyone for themselfes
that's they way it's gotta be
dont think twice in this false paradise
one step ahead
or you'll end up dead

burn up burn up
my city's on fire
step the fuck back
that flame's getting higher
bleed with me bleed with me
bleed with me
forever now
done my time in a world fulla crime
it's my turn to watch babylone burn
bleed with me bleed with me bleed with me

now you gotta pray to god cuz it's on
defeat from the street
now i know i've been beat burning from the heat
notter than the flames of hell
straight scorching me torchin' me
dirty ash tray dreams
busting up scenes
its everyone and everything
the effect is direct and clean from the peasant to the king
no way out this battle's more than we can handle
the town's a slaughter house and we're the fucking cattle

[chorus]
feel it

soul shake down
headed for a breakdown
my town your town
it's about to go down throw down
forget about tomorrow
cuz you cant pay back all the time that you borrowed
it's too late on streets of hate you await your fate
i tell you brother you were gone from the gate
just another kid swallowed by the streets
and retired
i can smell the smoke shit my city's on fire
we were cursed from birth incarceration planet earth
sentencedto die and smile on the face of the outcry
criminal minded blinded i'm barely getting by reminded
constantly i'm nowhere
that i want to be
cuz it's real in this battle field
no where to run
no where to hide
eventually the other side will catch me slippin' on the trip wire
i can smell the smoke
shit my city's on fire
i can smell the smoke




shit my city's on fire
i can smell the smoke

Overall Meaning

The song "Fire" by Radiorama is a powerful political statement in which the singer describes the deteriorating state of his community. He paints a picture of utter chaos and corruption, with police brutality and crime on the rise. The title "Fire" refers not only to the literal fires that are burning throughout the city, but also to the fiery rage and frustration that the singer feels towards the system that is failing him and his people.


The opening line, "3rd Strike Lost Angel", is a reference to the Three Strikes law which was introduced in the United States in the 1990s. The law mandated lengthy prison sentences for those convicted of three or more serious crimes, regardless of the severity of the third offense. The term "Lost Angel" is a play on the nickname for the city of Los Angeles, which is often referred to as the City of Angels.


The singer continues to describe the dangerous and desperate situation in his community, with no unity and everyone looking out for themselves. He warns that one has to constantly stay one step ahead or risk being consumed by the flames of this false paradise.


The chorus repeats the line "my city's on fire", drawing emphasis to the burning and destruction that is taking place. The singer urges the listener to "bleed with me", to feel the pain and anger that he is feeling towards the system that is failing them.


The song ends with a sense of hopelessness, with the singer resigned to his fate and the fate of his community. He recognizes that he is caught in a battle that is larger than him, and that the system is rigged against him. The repeated line "I can smell the smoke" serves as a haunting reminder of the destruction and chaos that is all around him.


Overall, "Fire" is a powerful and evocative song that speaks to the frustration and anger that many people feel towards the systemic injustices that they face. It is a call to action, urging people to band together and fight for a better future for themselves and their communities.
