Please officer
Why you wanna kill me, officer
When you already know that I'm innocent
But you don't really care cos I'm a Black citizen
I know it's hard to swallow like cinnamon
But when you see me you see an immigrant
So tell me why you're getting so vigilant
When everybody knows that we're the most diligent
Please officer
Why you wanna kill me, officer
When you already know that I'm innocent
But you don't really care cos I'm a Black citizen
I know it's hard to swallow like cinnamon
But when you see me you see an immigrant
So tell me why you're getting so vigilant
When everybody knows that we're the most diligent
Is it cos my skin ain't white that
You treat me like a parasite and
You don't understand our movement
So you try and keep us paralysed
I'm tryna get this clarified cos
Me I like to analyse and
I'm seeing what's advertised and
Man it's just a bag of lies
Death by association they say
But it's death by assassination that way
We had enough of this presentation
So we did a little demonstration
But, it ended up in violence
They wouldn't even here us if the world went silent
The whole world could have seen our vision
But everybody wanna be blinded
You can't chat to me about silence
Cos if I speak up, I'm silenced
When a structure's built from racism
I can't defend myself without fighting
You give a white man time to heal
You see a Black brother and it's shoot to kill
Went and took a job that should have saved me
And instead used it to enslave me
Makes me wanna book a flight from Heathrow
But there's a problem here and we know
That the UK's just as racist, but
They just keep in on a d-low, cos
Everybody's so discreet
But all you gotta do is look at history
If police had guns in this country
How many of my brothers would have been six feet
If police had guns in this country
How many of my brothers would have been six feet
If police had guns in this country
How many of my brothers would have been six feet
Why they gotta do George Floyd like that
Why they gotta do Mark Duggan like that
Why they gotta treat us bad cos we Black
Black lives matter everyday and that's a fact
