Mai Khalil - Terrorist? Part 2 lyrics

{Chorus: Mai Khalil} They calling me a terrorist, we know who the terror is Tell them that I'm not (guilty) They calling me a terrorist, it is time to settle this Tell them that I'm not (guilty) I'm all about love and peace, why you wanna trouble me? Tell them that I'm not (guilty) My intentions are clear to see {Verse 1: Crazy Haze} First of all, allow my client Kareem Dennis Simplify his messages and dissect the evidence That placed him on the terror list, spread the lies of television My client is standing accused of encouraging terrorism He's promoting peace, far from violent encouragement I believe it's unjust that this court has summoned him How can one man rapping, lead to terrorist actions? This misunderstanding merits a retraction Accused of calling for attacks on military facilities You can't equate violence with criticism politically Where's the freedom of speech? He's just another young musician who is seeking a dream My client is accused of inciting racial tension He's half-Arab, half-English, did I fail to mention? The media rendered his reputation ruined Think about how many youngsters he has influenced To quit a life of crime and do the opposite Most of the man's tracks are completely devoid of politics The evidence is unseen, the verdict is a done deed How can you compare a song to invading a country? My client isn't hungry for the blood of the people Since when has making a rap song ever been illegal Or murderous? The only thing that drives this person is love I rest my case to the jury and the merciful judge {Chorus: Mai Khalil} They calling me a terrorist, we know who the terror is Tell them that I'm not (guilty) They calling me a terrorist, it is time to settle this Tell them that I'm not (guilty) I'm all about love and peace, why you wanna trouble me? Tell them that I'm not (guilty) My intentions are clear to see {Verse 2: Crazy Haze & Lowkey} Sir, can you confirm you're the artist that's known as Lowkey? I can Are you aware the state has been building this case since 03? I am You claim that you're all about love and you promote peace I'm here to prove that your hot speeches lead to cold deeds Your lyrics are a virus infecting all the youths You say whatever it takes to get a mention on the news You're an insult to the people and offend the soldiers too Objection, your Honour Objection overruled Do you denounce the monarchy and hope for a republic? Monarchy is inequality, systemic injustice While you strangle Afghanistan and tangle with Taliban Our taxes have to pay for David Cameron's cameraman How can you compare spreading anarchy to spreading democracy? Like you compare resistance to extension of colonies Did you really refer to the U.S. as an abomination? No, I posed a question in reference to its domination I scrutinise governments, you scrutinise songs Did you compare predator drones to suicide bombs? Yes and I question where such brutalised youth would rise from It's true, I choose to write songs but you can write wrongs But what if your questions equate to the spreading of hate? Is it true you labeled Israel a terrorist state? Yes, cause it's based on the threat to erase an indigenous population you could never replace {Chorus: Mai Khalil} They calling me a terrorist, we know who the terror is Tell them that I'm not (guilty) They calling me a terrorist, it is time to settle this Tell them that I'm not (guilty) I'm all about love and peace, why you wanna trouble me? Tell them that I'm not (guilty) My intentions are clear to see {Verse 3: Lowkey} Please allow me to state the most relevant of facts I'm charged with section 1 of 06's Terrorism Act It is alleged the music I'm publishing for exhibition All amounts to the encouragement of terrorism My face was placed up on the news as a wanted person Cause it caused controversy when they saw my songs emerging If I was commercial would I have to ride all these hurdles? Raided my home, take my phone, put some spies in my circle? Not on it, no comment, I will never change my position Not in jail, but they gave me these stale bail conditions And this is the part where the plot just gets sinister They banned from the City of London and Westminster I do this for the rebels that do this without the medals For Smiley Culture, Jody McIntyre and Alfie Meadows Before you throw it at me, have a look at your backwards book Definition of terrorism, Columbus and Captain Cook I can't lie, it's getting deep, our lives are very cheap And one person dies in police custody every week They're editing my tracks cause I'm telling them the facts You're more likely to die like that than from a terrorist attack When you try to fight a war, they will say you defy the law Can't quiet me, this is R.I.P. for Brian Haw We know the truth, no matter what you tell 'em on the television IMF, World Bank, economic terrorism I refuse to produce chart nonsense Not a servant to the Zionist lobby like Mark Thompson The BBC want me making music to impress crooks Or doing shows on military bases like Tim Westwood Murdoch might have the news, but me, I have the tunes Your cameras move onto celebrities to distract the youth Remember this fact is true When you point your finger at me there is three fingers pointing back at you
