SOUL FOOD II 04:42
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.
