From to Floyd to till
It’s time to end our conceal
How we watching our people get killed
Why we let em just steal what we build
Taint the water, take our meals
Come take a walk and see how it feels
Inside my shoes, they might just shoot you
Just for the thrill
And then look in your eyes with no guilt
They know not of the pain that they cause
No justification or cause
I think hatred is part of your law
I understand
If you don’t take, you’d withdrawal
Like all of the addicts you left on the floor
That I see when I step out of my door
Oh, you want more? You know I keep it raw.
We need to talk and stop all the war
words are weapons, a blessing, no question! I tell em that we put the word into sword!
We’re fucking kings
Give us our diamonds back
Take em out your crown your ears and your fucking ring
Move and I’ll done the ting
Its a robbery!
like what you did to colonies
Like what you did to the artefacts
That thing That you call Egyptology
Man, fuck it what’s a bit of poverty?
Atleast there’s diamonds on the monarchy?
Kill our people, kill our hope
And put Corona on the autopsy
What’s freedom without the honesty
I call it Democracy
I do not know all the policies
But the ones that I know look corrupt to me
Steal from the people then call it Equal
That’s an economy
The world is full of hypocrisy
But Imma explain it all properly
Yo
Lemme take you back to where it begins
Imma show you all the evil and sins
nobody’s know where we’re going and barely anybody knows where weve been
and that’s why we continue to spin
Stuck in a cycle, nobody wins
Look at your idol, stuck on a string
She aint a god and he aint a king
They ain’t got no moral compass
And that’s why they followed columbus
He did not discover shit
He jumped on a ship and followed his compass
First stop the Taino, Christopher sounds the trumpet
Taino’s got free gold and spices
For the Congress
But that ain’t enough for Columbus
the greed of this man was monstrous
He jumped straight back on to the Santa Maria, Columbus continued the conquest
Then crashed into Hispaniola
Unfortunately he was conscious
He Left them to build up a colony
And said he’d be back as Promise
That day he went home a hero
Spice and gold by the kilo
The queen and king
Got a thing a for the bling
They sent him back to the tainos
So Christoper went on a tour
Christopher went from shore to shore
Christopher, killed and caused some wars
People got killed and toured for
for you to enjoy this privilege
People lost homes and villages
People got sold by evilest souls
Even the women and little kids
murdered all of the indigenous
A thousands years later were living it
Tea n biscuits we ain’t innocent
Here is just some of what Britain did
Britain’s the place that claims to be great
But doesn’t own anything it own only takes
Britain’s the place, where the will smile in your face but diss you because of your race
Britain’s the place, my mother took me and my bigger brother so we could escape
Britain’s the place, where my mother goes to work with people who discriminate
This is the pain, that I inherited
From my ancestors when hit with cane
This is the pain, that I felt when I realised that they hate me for my dna
This is pain, triple six all in my vein
Sorry, man! I can not change.
Since I was 8 I’ve had to stand up to racism when I was just tryna play
Spit in his face, you can not call me a nigger and think that your sliding away
I’m Feeling a way, I wish neighbours a good Morning, they don’t give me time of the day.
I’m seeing the hate, I had to kill to get it
And you don’t even fight for your place
Britains is great, Like America’s United
But I think it’s time for a change
I wouldn’t pick another way
If anything I would be blacker
Nothings as precious as life
So tell me why do they think mine doesn’t matter
Tell me why I have to pick at your crumbs
Whilst you’re at the top with a platter
my lips should be thinner and her body flatter
But still they copy the swagger
I learnt your ways I studied your grammar
We seek for change, with chants and banners
It’s stay the same, we see the patterns
And still the say that it doesn’t happen
So what about Shukri ?
What about mark?
They can not shush me
Everything done in dark
Will eventually come to the light
Fuck the colour of my skin
This is about wrong and right
The is about Good and evil
The system versus the people
This is about a division
And the sum is making us equal.
