24-7

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 your wars Sweatin’ blood for the tax just to live on planet Earth Welcome to the L it's peak in these boroughs Police run among us discreet in deep cover (They seek) more of us shiftin' 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 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 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 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 your wars Sweatin’ blood for the tax just to live on planet Earth 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 questin’ 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.
