lyrics

VERSE 1

Its not a sprint its a marathon me and Nipsey Hussle would have got along
I cried tears of pain I’m like oh God
We all took a hit we just lost a real one
Self hatred ancient sick patients
Like the love and hate from Caucasians
Wanna sex us up and get racist
Better set us up with compensation
Repatriation conversation
Afraid we’ll break the bank but I ain’t waiting
Empires build the sky is blazing
Hope I ain’t killed by hired masons
They got the iron will the pride of Satan
But it ain’t just colour related In all shades you face hatred
You better guard up until you rise in greatness
Keep your eyes on faces, these snakes get shaken
Realised in this matrix faking like praises
To my ancestors who fought and died to be a patron
Saluted your Queen it’s outrageous
Theresa May told my people go back to JA
When UK raised us and raped us for our culture blatant

CHORUS 1

It’s judgement time (Jah know this Jah know this)
And all of the world will feel it
None shall escape what’s coming

VERSE 2

We need peace and love
We’re eaten up inside where we bleed in cuffs
And deeds are done,
They wanna take the land that freedom run
Demand that they see the wrong and heed the tongue
Coz it’s heating up the deepest cuts are made by the rich it’s fucked were sleeping rough
It’s like judgement day is speeding up
The meek on the right held high healing come
Until my breathings done I want progress
Less hate for self and more justice
Don’t shank the guy you could buss with
You could work for him or he could work for you
You build together if trusted takes time and patience
Discuss this who else could understand how you suffered I’ve had enough of this
Our grand folk joined the war for great Britain
Built the NHS with strong black women
Brought you carnival lovers rock
Dances too they ate food and we shared our traditions
Imagine your grand parents on a plane kicked out
From a place they were given years of ungratefulness and back breaking labour
Should all be forgiven
