WHAT A WORLD

Rest in Peace, George Floyd
And every other life that’s been taken by the police
Or by anyone
Due to the colour of their skin

He had a knee on his neck
Gun to the chest
Punch in the head
But they’re innocent
To police in the West
Colour’s a threat
But don’t forget about England
Knee on a neck
Gun to the chest
Punch in the head
But they’re innocent
The police in the West
Colour’s a thrеat
But don’t forget about England

I’m from a place wherе people act before they even think
The closest you will come to Africa is wearing Lynx
These different cultures weren’t about for much experience
As I’ve got older now I get it, yeah, it’s really clicked
I went to school where it was rare to be Black
So I never understood the terror that you go through
Now I get it - I never can
I’m a certain colour I don’t suffer from what you do
That’s scary to think
But I know it’s much more scary to be
I’m fair in my skin
How can we be so unfair?

He had a knee on his neck
Gun to the chest
Punch in the head
But they’re innocent
To police in the West
Colour’s a threat
But don’t forget about England
Knee on a neck
Gun to the chest
Punch in the head
But they’re innocent
The police in the West
Colour’s a threat
But don’t forget about England

At the end of the day we’re all different shades of brown
Can you call it a race if a runner doesn’t count?
Treating people the same is a right, don’t play it down
If you hear something racist you gotta take it out
Oh oh oh
I’m inspired by so many Black role, role models
I’m involved in a culture of Black origin
Oh oh oh
I gotta speak for the fact that there’s not equality
Oh oh oh
What a World
Reform the World
Let’s reform the World
