Lowkey - Let Me Live lyrics

This is for those who died on the 7th of July, pa**ed tragically And the many more that are gettin' k**ed in Iraq as we speak Our bombs that we 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?) 'cos the public can't stomach it How can you represent truth & freedom When you're pillaging and k**ing 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 [Hook] 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, d**h 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 b**h, I'm probably more British than you Gotta talk safe on the phone, for years I had the same digits With jakes 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 How many m**ms have blonde hair and blue eyes So think twice About who you try to bother You're just as likely to be that suicide bomber [Hook] Police shot an innocent man, five times in the head No militant plan, just died 'cos he ran crying 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 m**m racists shoot to k** 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 blud, you decide 'cos everyday they're abusing our human rights [Hook]
