(Chorus):
Children, all the yawning
Burning, fire is coming
Children, all the yawning
Burning, fire is coming
(Verse 1):
Yeah, born and bred in this city (That's right), Made P and ducked feds in this city (That's right)
I was raised wrong, my mindstate was shitty
Everything they taught me in school was lies teacher tried dissed me (Fuck Em')
Told me about Henry VIII, but not my history?
I'm a product of slavery, they can hate me but it's there fault
They made me
If it weren't for them, I'd be in the sun eating mango speaking native tongue
But instead I'm in London selling drugs, where police harass us, but really they're the thugs
We're just trying to bring some money home for mom living below the poverty line, jobseekers ain't enough trust
The System's damaged, my mindstate's malice, fuck the long ting, let's all go to Buckingham palace
I was innocent at birth, but they created a savage
I smoke weed cause I love it, not cause it's a habit Fuck what you think
(Chorus):
Children, all the yawning
Burning, fire is coming
Children, all the yawning
Burning, fire is coming
(Verse 2):
The blindfold is off, I ain't working no jobs
I ain't paying no taxes or worshipping their gods
I'm anti-system and anti-religion, this all bullshit
Don't hate me, so cut the wisdom
These other rappers don't teach you shit when they're spitting
Straight puppets, standing there smiling looking smitten
Just happy to be there, stupid house niggas
Looking like slaves, I'll change the game without you niggas
Jesus wasn't white, In fact his name was Jesus
Why the fuck do we believe all these lies that they teach us?
They say Africa's a third world country, but they don't tell us why
The british went there, and committed genocide
They went Australia and America, more genocide
South America and India, mass genocide
Can't forget the Caribbean, cause that's where I'm from
We were slaves, they even erased our native tongue
You can't blame me for my mentality, religion is division
It's lacking spirituality
Don't be mad at me for expressing how I feel, I'm just a human being keeping it real, I don't want a deal
Fuck your major record labels, you couldn't own me if you offered six figures
I ain't no house nigga
(Chorus):
Children, all the yawning
Burning, fire is coming
Children, all the yawning
Burning, fire is coming
