[Logic]
Let me start with the basic structures of a Western
country
Imperialism, it’s all about the money
While we moan and
complain when it’s not sunny
Little kids hustle foods, tryna fill
their tummy’s
And, every kid’s seen a gun, when you go to places like
Iraq and Afghanistan
While kids over here think that shooting’s
fun
Kids over there shoot to protect their mums
And, over here, we
can’t claim real hardship
Trust me, we don’t really know what hard
is
A hard life, where your family is starving
A hard life, where
your family is killed by the army
A life where you’re seen as a
target
A life that you wish never started
But, they got big
hearts, big smiles and energy to make a change
I make music for them
to play
[Hook: Big Frizzle]
I said we’ll never know
Because the places
we’ve grown
Ain’t nothing like what they know
Cause we’ll never
know
[Maverick Sabre]
Whoa little lad, I know you’re feeling sad
Trust
me there’ll be better days you never had
The pain you face will never
last
Try and say we ain’t the same, walkin’ to different paths
Why
must I hate? Turn on the TV and just sit and laugh
But, that child’ll
never smile, he’s lost his dad
Seein’ foreign flags fly above his
mother land
He’s hearin’ gunshots like shots from your block
When
he bleeds, do we not bleed the same blood?
There’s no lovin’ growin’
up as cold thugs
Imagine growin’ up where every sip of water makes
you throw up
Where soldiers patrol every road, throwin’ stones
To
protect your home, all alone, when there’s no-one else
So they say we
ain’t relatives, cause the difference in our melanin
As hell as being
relevant, fuck it all, to hell with it
This evil has been spreading
it
And, even if my death comes quick
I’ll be fighting ’til the end
of it
[Sample]
We live in a period where our world has both the
resources,
The technology and the know-how to end world
poverty.
But, unfortunately we also live in a point in time
When
at no other point in history has there been so much suffering
[Hook: Big Frizzle]
Cause we’ll never know
[Akala]
Okay, let me make clear my position
I know your estate
feels like shit to live in
And, watching mummy graft to stop bailiffs
from ringing
Is enough to make you wanna hit the block and start
slingin’
I’ve been there, no gas, no electric to the
kitchen
Fridge cuts off, defrosts and starts stinkin’
Whether
Gorbals in Glasgow, Mumbai or Brixton
May not be the same shit but it
is the same system
But, this is Britain. As hard as some of us have
it
We’re still far better off than ninety-percent of the
planet
And, that is what you learn, when you get to start
travelling
Unravelling the bullshit that they are babbling
So,
this is for the nameless, faceless
Millions that die everyday, but
don’t even get a funeral
And, we tell ourselves because where they
were born
They are less worth, less intelligent or beautiful
Well,
I don’t agree, they are you and me
And we are them, but we’re too
blind to see
While some have everything, they ain’t got shit
And,
we tell ourselves, well that’s just how it is
There ain’t enough to
go around, on this abundant planet
Of course there is, it’s just that
some of us are ganits
And, the habits we developed
That are so far
divorced from the source
We don’t even stop to pause, at the
destruction everyday
Of counts of this human family, it’s just normal
insanity

I said we’ll never know (We’ll never know, never
know)
Because the places we’ve grown (Places we’ve grown)
Ain’t
nothing like what they know (Ain’t nothing like ohh-oh)
Cause we’ll
never know (We’ll never know, never know, never know)
I said we’ll never know (We’ll never know, never know, never
know)
Because the places we’ve grown (Places we’ve grown)
Ain’t
nothing like what they know (Ain’t nothing like they know, ain’t nothing
like)
Cause we’ll never know
