My Queen Is Doreen Lawrence - Sons Of Kemet, Joshua Idehen

Don’t wanna hear that racist claptrap

Anybody chat that crap get clapped back

Don’t wanna take my country back, mate

I wanna take my country forward

Don’t wanna hear that racist claptrap

You chat that chat, get clapped back

Don’t wanna take my country back, mate

I wanna take my country forward

Cha!

Yeah

To want to know you’re in safe hands

Whether you utter a bang

Or a whimper you’ll be heard in this wasteland

To believe in due process

Lawman, your man, either side of the fence

Is regarding the other as suspect

To approach the killer of your child, demand the respect

Pressure underwater like Loch Ness

A few choice words will calm the unrest

And react to the

To want

And say «fuck it»

Brush aside all notions of justice

Make good the engine for vengeance

To be surrounded by strangers

United in a wordless statement

It is frightening having this much presence

To belong to something bigger than a Jobcentre queue

See the wall from a not-so-desperate point of view

Wash your grievances in public

With a horde to your sides and your back

Go menace

Cause mayhem, make madness

To hurt your own home so hard that

The whole world knows you’re alive

And to not give a damn if it doesn’t

To say something, anything I like

Face down the law even if it’s just for one night

Go ahead

Put your lips to my power and sip

Feel big like Caesar

Roman road

Stride not, run

Do not just be there when Rome burns

But to hold the torch now

Hulk smash, grab cash

You’re not a fool brother, just brave

Just foolish and, let’s face it:

Who raids the shop and leaves the loot behind?

Who raids the shop and leaves the loot behind?

Who raids the shop and leaves the loot behind?

Who raids the shop and leaves the loot behind?

Who raids the shop and leaves the loot behind?

Who raids the shop and leaves the loot behind?

Who raids the shop and leaves the loot behind?

Who raids the shop and leaves the loot behind?

Who raids the shop, leaves the loot behind?

Who raids the shop and leaves the loot behind?
