24-7 - Foreign Beggars, Feed Me

I could give a fuck about an honest day's work

Your weapons ain’t defence, you ain't shoppin' God’s work

Every penny earned's gettin' spent on more wars

Sweatin' blood for the tax just to live on planet Earth

I could give a fuck about an honest day's work

Your weapons ain't defence, you ain't shoppin' God’s work

Every penny earned’s gettin' spent on more wars

Welcome to the L it's peak in these boroughs

Police run among us discreet in deep cover

They seek more of us, shift in mad numbers

So they breach more of us, quick to handcuff us

Getting hassled by cops, just cotchin' on the block

Followed round the shops they're watchin’ round the clock

Thought man was on a shot?

That's not even a shock

When your view of 'our lot' is rotten from the top downwards

I tend to speak the mess I see ‘n' this is a disorder

Never been no better sheep to lead to the slaughter

I dare believe a better dream, let's lift up the borders

In memory of refugees that slipped in the waters

While tabloids radicalise

And strategise, to separate with bad advice

I bury those in stereo, while they stereotype

The profile of one ready to fight, yeah

I could give a fuck about an honest day's work

Your weapons ain't defence, you ain't shoppin' God's work

Every penny earned's gettin' spent on more wars

Sweatin' blood for the tax just to live on planet Earth

I could give a fuck about an honest day's work

Your weapons ain't defence, you ain't shoppin' God's work

I could give a fuck about a 9-5

Operation 24-7 I got plenty more to do

I was destitute now I'm destined for the booth

You could get beheaded just for questinin' for the truth

Or get the leather boot from those terrorists in blue

Maybe get death sentence from oppressors in a suit

Why am I a threat for simply mentionin' my views

If they were tellin' me the truth would I second guess the news like

The fuck is this on my TV

All I hear is lies comin' from these debriefs

Why they spendin' all their time goin after Greenpeace

When the cancer's at the top but they blamin' these streets

Fam, I'm yellin' “Black Lives Matter”

If all lives did then why this black child battered

Why this black mind splattered on the pavement no recourse

Shouts to Kaepernick sacrifice open discourse

I could give a fuck about an honest day's work

Your weapons ain't defence, you ain't shoppin' God's work

Every penny earned's gettin' spent on more wars

Sweatin' blood for the tax just to live on planet Earth

I could give a fuck about an honest day's work

Your weapons ain't defence, you ain't shoppin' God's work

Every penny earned's gettin' spent on more wars
