They say God save the queen, Britannia rules the waves, Britannia's in my genes But Britannia called us slaves Britannia made the borders Cause Britannia's forces came Britannia lit the match But Britannia fears the flame Where blood stains the pavement Tears stain a cheek And privilege is threatened, the fear reigns supreme Where bankers are earning, from burning and looting

The nervous are shooting, search for solutions I shed a tear for the father in Birmingham Quick swerve of the car and it murdered them In Tottenham the apartments were burning and nobody came just arson is circling All wanna be down till tv's get robbed like jewels on the queens crown They say now no cause for a rebound See now they call me a fool cause i speak out People are humans not mindless animals

This violent tyrannical system is fallable Hand in the loot by the minute you see 'em But the biggest looters are the British museum This happened here and you think its a accident Just relax as we slip into fascism And the fear gets drilled into your hearts but remember these children are all ours

[Chorus] Whoa, give me the words, give me the words That tell me nothing Dear England, Whoa, give me the words, give me the words That tell me nothing

If a policeman can kill a black man where he found him A soldier can kill an Afghan in the mountains A petty thief can get ransacked from his housing While the bankers are lounging That's my surroundings Took land, no one in your family has heard of Before you sleep, whisper the mantra you learnt cause Never will there be a day that cameras are turned off Who runs this country, Cameron or Murdoch Who's the government, a government that can't govern Cant you figure its ways bigger than Mark Duggan

Bigger than Smiley, bigger than Jean Charles

Hundreds are dead not 1 killer is on trial

Just a familiar sound of hysteria

Bombs over Libya but not this area

Downing Street I can find villains

Cut education, privatise prisons

Surprised by theft when it's organised,

But mass immorality is normalised

Assumptions surrounding the looting of London

But this is a system consumed by consumption

Yea it happened here and you think its a accident

Just relax as we slip into fascism

And the fear gets drilled into your hearts

But remember these children are all ours

[Chorus]

This is a clever track. However there are issues in message you are conveying. Every country is corrupt. The riots were a political tactic. The day the Mark Duggen was shot, Theresa May announced they were going to cut 40,000 policemen jobs. The police did nothing to prove a point: you need us. People who live in England need to unit, as a people. The story of our ancestors, from whatever religion or cultural background, make us who we are, and we are blessed to live in one the multicultural places in world. The wars Britain won gave rights that we would never had if it had not fought for our rights.

They let the country riot for days so they can pass new laws to give them more powers and no one will complain

He isn't going against english people, he is half English, he's going against the "democracy" that provides us. I am white British, yet I agree finely in what he is saying here, look in what is going on, he is merely voicing what others fail to notice in our failed society. Muslim, African, Caucasian, whatever, if we live here we deserve what we are promised. On another note, I love England, born and bred, but I can't honestly think (anymore) of anything that makes us great to be fair. Lowkey is a political and lexical genius.

we can all live in the past! yes Britannia has done some pretty disgusting and shameful things in its past, but shameful and disgusting things have also been committed to us! thousands of years of invasion & enslavement upon its land & people but we don't hold grudges and bitch about things that are no more!

Luv this song but the intro is so damn long. But it is still really good to listen too.
