Let Me Live - LowKey

For those who died on the 7th of July, passed tragically

And for many more gettin' killed in Iraq as we speak

Our bombs we as taxpayers are paying for

Everyday we’re slaying more, you’re wrong saying we ain’t at war

56 losses that’s what the telly just said

In Iraq, they’ll never tell us how many are dead

And in the event that’s up to our government

They don’t show the numbers, (Why?) because the public can’t stomach it

How can you represent truth & freedom

When you’re pillaging and killing innocent human beings

That is something Iraqi youths are used to seeing

So tell me truly, what do you believe in?

They’ve been telling us lies for years, still we wanna listen

The public got a shield for the guilty politician

Now at the end of the day, why are they sharing their views?

'cos I never seen The Queen or Tony Blair on the Tube

Let me live my life

Without your prejudice

Why am I getting frisked, I’m not a terrorist

Let me live my life

Evidence is irrelevant 'cos we’re a threat, the feds are getting rid of it

Ever since September 11 they’ve been obsessed with it, oppression is what their

weapon is

Let me live my life

Forget arrest on the spot, death sentences, leave my people alone,

just let them live

These days we can’t even bop through Oxford Circus

Without pointless coppers trying to stop and search us

What’s the purpose, why you wanna bother me?

Increase security?

Pff, tell them to fix up their foreign policy

I can’t even sit on the Tube with my Walkman

And listen to tunes without them getting suspicious and rude

Watching closely at the things that I do

Why are you so interested bitch, I’m probably more British than you

Gotta talk safe on the phone, for years I had the same digits

With jakes who try to take you to court for a train ticket

Don’t argue, just listen instead

ID Card a step closer to a chip in your head

There’s a bomb scare

They ask me, what, where and who, why?

It’s not fair

Many muslims have blonde hair and blue eyes

So think twice

About who you try to bother

'cuz you’re just as likely to be that suicide bomber

Let me live my life

Without your prejudice

Why am I getting frisked, I’m not a terrorist

Let me live my life

Evidence is irrelevant 'cos we’re a threat, the feds are getting rid of it

Ever since September 11 they’ve been obsessed with it, oppression is what their

weapon is

Let me live my life

Forget arrest on the spot, death sentences, leave my people alone,

just let them live

Police shot an innocent man, five times in the head

No militant plan, just died 'cos he ran frightened and fled

Do they really want us to riot and ride on these feds?

Yeah maybe violence will have the desired effect

The other day a man got shot on the Tube, it’s ill

If you were his fam, imagine how you would feel

On the news, you never see the truth revealed

Face it, the truth is them Muslim racists shoot to kill

It’s all gone wild, they got us locked down in compounds

Evidence is not found, no trial, this needs to stop now

And they got the nerve to say we’re hostile

Forget crackhouses, they’re raiding Mosques now

I wish I could say that the future’s bright

But it’s not and I can’t so I choose to fight

What have you got in your heart blood, you decide

'cos everyday they’re abusing our human rights

Let me live my life

Without your prejudice

Why am I getting frisked, I’m not a terrorist

Let me live my life

Evidence is irrelevant 'cos we’re a threat, the feds are getting rid of it

Ever since September 11 they’ve been obsessed with it, oppression is what their

weapon is

Let me live my life

Forget arrest on the spot, death sentences, leave my people alone,

just let them live
