The universe stopped working And fire filled these skies And the Earth began to burn Would you all learn to forgive? I feel deserted like I burnt every bridge This life's a curse and a gift I feel the heart of the world hurting, I just put it in to words in my head Then let you look inside my closet on some personal shit I've seen fire, seen violence, seen murder and sin Disarray, missing planes, I felt turbulent winds More claims, crooked policemen and they’re bursting at kids More claims than Jimmy Saville fucking perving on kids Hurling abuse at the Gogglebox when I turn on the news Nurses refuse to be slaves, are these constant cuts not enough? Consumers need pay, we steal, we kill, we rape, each day Blood's being spilled in Ukraine, children being killed And we complain when they emmigrate to the U.K There ain't enough space for you, two kids in that suitcase Whos to blame? neck in the noose Newsflash, we the new slaves We vermin, take something beautiful and burn it Tell ourselves that we ain't perfect Tell ourselves that we are worthless How do we know ourselves when we do no soulsearching? They wanna lock us in cages in case we find our soul purpose Oh, still so far from freedom, but at least i ain't the furthest, no There's a war between us, believe me I'ma be the first in, yo A brutal fight between the truth and lies, I know who I am serving I'ma serve them with these verses, who’d have thought I'd be a wordsmith It's the 21st century, the internet's a place of worship So I'm rapping on the radio, tryna reach my generation They ain't singing hymns, and they ain't listening to sermons You question my heritage? Born in Britain, blood is Persian Due to circumstance, had to fit in with a certain clique Grew up on the church-in the church Can't call myself a Christian or a Muslim, I'm a person Viewing every day worse and shi- Who wants pain? I've seen a familiar face in Syria waiting to get strapped with that AK Sent on, that long way, I've lost mates, can't follow religion We're killing in God's name, using God's name in vain, for God's sake I've got faith, I do pray I want change, you want chains, I've been around the pain This shit it wasn't fame, these man just act like they’re famous and you think that they’re actually famous I tried rap for the fame too, got a pengting 'cause that's what they do Got arrogant online, 'cause you have to be hated Then it backfired in my face, feel like someone inside of me trying to escape They say that the real me is hiding away from the (Power) Spoke to my brother the other day Yeah I've been told I'm a runaway­­ He said my entire fate relies on this time and place So I'm up from, 9 'til 8, my eyes are tired, my eyes are wide awake My mates are wired for days, I'm tryna change I wanna go back, I'm finding ways, in a situation only I can change I'm high and low, and I'm high again, I tried to solve it through fighting I ain't resolving no violence pissed Why is my son never smiling? Why do I have to sell drugs to provide for him? Why is my father crying again? Why is he saying his life is shit? Why is he saying his mind is like a prison? It's like he never left prison Answers, I've got none to give him Fuck all your trends and your millions of views Beause I have a vision All I can give is my pride when I spit on this mic Yeah it's Mic, I'ma kill it This minute in time, I'm the shit, I'ma shine God willing you feel it, it's Righteous, listen For all of the people that told me I couldn't The policemen, the teachers, the hoodrats, the hookers You shouldn't have give me this bullet, I put it Inside of this shotgun, instead of me shooting myself in the head I just put it to them, pop one All I've got is one shot son You rappers are pop tarts You chatting to top charts And I channel a lost art You man have forgot heart And man I've just got art Come with a passion when I'm on the mic When I'm done, I just dash it, like that's it I'm gone, what [Outro] Woah Mic Righteous!
