[00:20.13]Look, imagine an island where the party never ends
[00:23.20]Where it's less about money and it's more about friends
[00:25.67]Where the vibes can't done
[00:27.70]It's less about fundin' and and more about fun
[00:29.83]Tropical sun, this life in the '60s comin' from the Caribbean
[00:33.94]You know Ian, Delroy, Vivian, Winston
[00:37.25]Who got drafted to England
[00:38.98]Windrush babies from Kingston to Brixton
[00:41.61]To say they're the life of the party, you're wrong
[00:43.71]My Jamaicans the entire party, you can't see?
[00:47.34]Big Notting Hill carni, you can't see?
[00:49.57]And the ride's fiber glass, G, you want see?
[00:52.30]Imagine a place wherе you raise your kids
[00:54.30]The only place you livе says you ain't a Brit
[00:56.81]They're deportin' our people and it makes me sick
[00:59.18]'Cause they was broken by the country that they came to fix
[01:01.78]It's like
[01:02.49]They came on the invitation of the British Government
[01:04.92]The passports were stacked indefinitely to remain
[01:08.30]But for some who were children then, that was a false promise
[01:12.44]Thirty-seven years of paying taxes and I
[01:14.83]Got a letter saying I was an illegal immigrant
[01:17.28]I came to England at the age of
[01:19.61]Ten and I've lived here all my life
[01:22.85]Look, imagine a world that's flawed and full of evil
[01:25.62]Where dictators and leaders are persecutin' your people
[01:28.53]The bodies of the innocent are pilin' to the steeples
[01:31.60]The ironic part is they're preyin' on the feeble
[01:33.82]That's life in the 90s, you're Eastern European
[01:35.85]And you seein' people dyin' 'cause they're fightin' for their freedom
[01:39.00]They show you violence for havin' a voice
[01:40.99]You move out with your kids in hope of havin' a choice
[01:44.00]Life throws you a spanner, you can't handle the pain
[01:46.62]So you gamble and you drink and then you gamble again
[01:49.32]You argue with your wife and then you sleep on the couch
[01:51.79]You hit your children, then start freezin' 'em out
[01:54.32]You try and work things out, but it's never the same
[01:56.82]All the women in your household are livin' afraid
[01:59.63]When you look into the mirror you're reminded again
[02:01.98]That you've become the dictator you were fightin' against
[02:04.58]It's like
[02:05.83]We're fightin' for, fightin' for our mother
[02:08.51]And then we, we, we are fighting for our homes, fighting for our... for our own...
[02:16.59]
[02:25.38]Look, imagine a world that's fucked and untrue
[02:29.20]Where the many pay a price for the few
[02:31.37]And every day the sun rises a little later
[02:33.91]That's how it is when your oppressor is your liberator
[02:36.55]That's right now, livin' in the Middle East
[02:39.72]Praise Allah for the peace
[02:41.78]Death from a sky littered with stars
[02:43.81]You run away with your kids so you can give them a chance
[02:46.51]But your asylum has got you in a different war
[02:49.60]Because the British wanna know what you're livin' here for
[02:51.74]We rely on migration more than ever before
[02:53.98]They're key workers, but they couldn't even get in the door
[02:56.97]When you're at Heaven's gates, what you tellin' the Lord?
[02:59.62]You wouldn't even let a kid into some steadier shores
[03:02.17]That's a life they may never afford
[03:03.88]Surely you would wanna give your
[03:05.39]People chances that were better than yours?
[03:07.18]No?
[03:07.84]Ten years of conflict
[03:09.54]And twelve-thousand children have been killed or injured
[03:13.40]The children here are just a tiny fraction of the
[03:15.61]Estimated six million in need of emergency humanitarian assistance
[03:20.21]And still perhaps as many as three million no longer live in their own home
[03:23.88]With up to two million children no longer attending school
[03:27.19]The opportunities of this generation
[03:29.39]Have been changed forever by this conflict
[03:32.12]
[04:13.37]I went to silence when I need to know who the, who the fuck I was, bro
[04:18.82]Like, I won't hear anyone else, shut everyone else out
[04:23.43]So I could just hear myself, bro
[04:25.56]You know what I'm sayin'?
[04:26.29]'Cause we live in this world, yeah
[04:28.35]You stand still, the way the tides set up
[04:32.12]It will take you away from yourself, you feel me?
[04:35.12]So then I was like, "Aight, cool"
[04:39.62]But I had to get silent
[04:41.53]But it's not like man's goin' against the tide
[04:44.80]'Cause goin' against the tide still makes it about them
[04:46.75]Still makes it about the poison that you've internalized, that's in your mind, you feel me?
[04:52.38]It's like "Bro, why am I in this water?"
[04:54.76]Man, this isn't even water, it doesn't even like me, 'cause it's not even for me
[04:58.80]It's not takin' me where I wanna go, it's not takin' me where I wanna go
[05:00.59]It's who, who the fuck I am, bro
[05:03.00]What I'm sayin' is like the tide will tell me that bein', bein' black is a obstacle
[05:08.60]Know what I'm sayin'?
[05:10.66]I just... switch rumors, bro
[05:14.51]I say bein' black is a asset, I am who I am because I'm black
[05:19.13]And I love everythin' about it, you feel me?
[05:23.72]And that's who the fuck I am
