lirik lagu lowkey - politics remix
[intro]
did you hear what they said?
yeah yeah
another brother’s dead
it’s all politics
listen
[verse 1: lowkey]
this is lowkizzy and i ain’t got no choice
but to rep for the kiddies that ain’t got no voice
for the girls and the snot noses boy that don’t know
why the queen’s face is on those coins (let’s let them know)
all the jewels, the crown, even the throne’s stolen
they hide it ’cause the truth is ugly like mo mowland
how could you live large when kids starving to eat
why bring war if bin laden’s asking for peace?
i’ve got gems to drop on weak emcees
and got a middle finger up to the bnp
while our kids get fed lies from teachers
the news teach us to hate all asylum seekers
still youth man’s is sending food cans to the sudan
while we’re knocking out tunes like chris eubank
even danny williams, me and my activists
they legalise cannabis and free the palestinians
i’m watched my manor by cameras and helicopters
while third world countries are hungry for better doctors
they didn’t help their kids in rwanda, escape the massacre
you think blair really cares about aids in africa
i see kids on the news with their arms horribly thin
why vote if only one of two parties can possibly win
’cause if we don’t let our voices be heard
there’s no way of stopping these pr~cks destroying the earth
many people i know find it hard to cope
they don’t have a say ’cause they just can’t be ~rs~d to vote
i’ve got to help the man better themself
imagine you were right with nelson mandela in jail
giving your life for a freedom we take for granted
what’s the point in having a choice of you don’t take advantage
at the same time, i don’t love living in this place
i appreciate all the gifts i was given on a plate
it’s politic
[chorus]
did you hear what they said?
another brother’s dead
did you hear what they said?
another brother’s dead
[verse 2: yungun]
what’s politics? a way to represent the populace?
a way to find common ground between opposites?
i’d like to think so, i’d like to play the optimist
but i’m not sure it works, i’m sorry if i state that obvious
but i got deep problems with tryna be conscious
’cause i don’t want to sound preach, the or seem pompous, but
this is a so~called civilised country
and there’s people mentally caged and living like monkeys
what’s politics? getting raped by the state in each orifice?
something most kids don’t even bother with
’cause the problem is, who the h~ll do we vote for?
when both major parties would have sent us to those wars
to settle the old scores of a mad son, from a bad dad
tryna drop bombs over baghdad
so kids don’t want to vote and all they do these days
is shoot at planes and desert storm computer games
chasing teenage dreams
but did they know there’s only been the women’s votes since 1918?
it wasn’t seen as a right through the 1800s
it was more a privilege that these days we squander
but people think there’s no hope, so we don’t vote
and the noose gets strung around our own throats
until we’re hung from our own rope
and playing dumb’s no fun when you’re sprung and it’s no joke
i know because i didn’t vote myself
wouldn’t support ’em, i ignored them, told them, “go to h~ll”
and told myself that even if i talk they won’t listen
but that apathy was actually a form of submission
and because i didn’t vote the authority was given
to the current government to set the policy and britain
so who’s the more fool? the fool? the fool that follows him? (us)
or that fool’s foolish following?
it’s politics
[outro: lowkey]
yungun, dj snips. it’s the politics remix?
yeah. yeah
this is out to everybody that intends to vote
we gotta use the opportunities we have
ake advantage
make a difference
so we can change the way we’re living in great britain, f~ck being a slave to this system
