Intro:
When I’m dead & gone hmm
I’ll be in my grave hmm
I’ll be six feet down hmm
I won’t be a slave, Slave to this world
When I’m dead and gone, When I’m dead ‘n gone
When I’m dead and gone, When I’m dead.
When I’m dead and gone

Can’t tell a lie from a truth these days
The way they gunned down that Brazilian guy on the train
He definitely wasn’t a man with an arsenal
Just an electrician on his day to day
He wasn’t a Muslim with a suicide bomb
Apparently he didn’t even run
He didn’t have a gun
He didn’t even struggle before he got stung

2
And every day on the streets
They stop and search all the youth
Licence for thrill licence to joy ride licence to kill
Wailing through the streets, Its ear damage, Seven shots to the head, An innocent man is dead

Repeat Chorus

(Rap)
They can’t take it, they say I’m too real, that’s a load of bull..
Whoever told you, “You should stop growing”, flowing, moving forwards
Don’t get caught up or sell yourself short
So you’re scared to admit that you’re lost,
Frozen, static, stagnant
You need to change your nappy
Cos everything I see about you’s just crappy
No it don’t make me happy to put you down,
Watch you drown
Drown in your own sh…… glub glub
You’re drowning in your own shit .. glub glub
In your own shit….. glub glub
You’re drowning in your own shit…. glub glub

Can’t tell a lie from a truth these days
The world is getting stranger, folks losing their way
Don’t trust the news and the papers all the same
Its not how they say it is
Someone’s getting paid, paid to give orders
Paid for mistakes, paid to feed ignorance
Paid to feed greed, paid in blood and a mother’s tears

Repeat Chorus

(Scat Outro)
