Fast Lava Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't make me smash your melon up
Try throwing shade on melanin
Send them 7UP, I'm better bitter with the lemon in
They put their boots on our ground
I put my roots in their ground
I put my truth in this sound
I spit my truth and it's brown
I don't give a fuck about the cash you stack
Or the crown on your skull, you ain't Basquiat
Or the Prince of Denmark, so rizzy boy
Piss on their benchmarks 'til white kids wanna be Paks
And your brown planet, it's gonna be that
Them man frown, panic and wanting me out
But I'm outstanding 'cause I stand out
Where I was standing there's gonna be plaques, it's my house

[Chorus]
I spit my truth and it's brown
I spit my truth and it's brown

[Verse 2]
Who made you as cool as me?
Who gave you jewelry?
Gave you real food to eat
Mughal to Mowgli
Not gonna ask for it back, it's mine
Them bastards don't want a Pak to shine
Leave the tea leaves, I'll spell out the sign
That, that, that, that's mine
Them a try pulling me down, I'm not having that
Swam too far to drown it’s my habitat
Buried in a English field, they can't dig us out
Riots, we turned Bradford to Karbala
Just want a zoot, cup of tea and my country back
Porsche, a portion mixed grill my sadaqah
Live with Mum, bought a Bimmer
'Cause Heaven's at her feet, Wilmslow Road on Eid's Madina

[Chorus]
I spit my truth and it's brown
