The British Are Coming

[Hook]
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi

The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi

[Verse 1]
See I come from the land of kings and castles
Jolly old England in the past rules
If you ask you’ll, find our star falls
We lost it all like Royal Mail with parcels
Now rapping is my passion but fashion won’t let it happen
British rap is automatically wacker and it’s a fact
We lack the support we need for our tracks
UK don’t care so we’ll build it off our own backs
And we get no breaks
Working harder than rappers from the USA
Is that gonna change? Only getting little recognition?
Listen cos Britain is gonna be switching its position
Pull the mic out the stone like Excalibur
American artists think that we’re amateurs
They believe we’ll never reach their calibre
It’s the British Revolution blud, Let’s Be ‘Aving Ya!
…Shhh, quiet so you can’t hear
Side track kidnap Paul Revere
Then it’s too late, and we’re too near
It’s an invasion now Britain’s here

[Hook]
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi

[Verse 2]
I come from the land of Fish and Chips
I got flows ShaoDow hold mics in my grip
I know we’re opposed, keep a stiff upper lip
If we fight for a fix then the game’s gonna flip
Ninety nine percent of rappers living in a fog
We’re Uncle Sam’s well trained British Bull dog
Whenever will we sever this tether, we’ll never flog
Our own mixtapes if we keep following the states
‘Cos we’re not unique
We dress like ‘em, walk like ‘em, talk like ‘em speak
On the track with an accent, just to get signed
But left on the shelf ‘cos nobody’s buying
British rap’s in a coma
It threw itself over the White Cliffs of Dover
You could rap hotter than a Super Nova
Unless you’re American they don’t wanna know ya
Bring rap back, that’s the aim
Lack of interest in our art, that’s to blame
Over shadowed by another land, that’s a shame
But the British are coming we Union Jack the game

[Hook]
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi

The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi

[Verse 3]
Lie back, and think of England
We’ve been held down now it’s time the kings stand
Big Ben rings will you take the call?
We stand tall like the mics of the round table
It’s a shame how the game wanna tame our rhymes
They claim the UK’s reign is in pain and dying, they’re lying
We the biggest gangsters of all time
The British Empire robbed the whole world blind
Took the tea out of India, the gold out of Ghana
Made killers, gave the guerrillas all their bananas
Grab your armour it’s time for war
Make sure that you know what you’re fighting for
We fight for our words to be heard in our own land
Fight cos we blurred and obscured by the pop band
Make a plan and create your brand
If you’re British to the finish time to make a stand, and
Hear my words, make sure you’re learning
We hunger for the top, feel the stomach churning
My team don’t stop by the pound we’re sterling
We’re turning up the heat Guv’, London’s Burning

[Hook]
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi

The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi

The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi

The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
The British are coming, they’re coming British are coming, Oi
