My Queen Is Doreen Lawrence (feat. Joshua Idehen)

Don't wanna hear that racist claptrap

Anybody chat that crap get clapped back

I don't wanna take my country back, mate

I wanna take my country forward

Don't wanna hear that racist claptrap

You chat that chat, get clapped back

Don't wanna take my country back, mate

I wanna take my country forward

Yeah

Yeah

To want

To know you're in safe hands

Whether you utter a bang or a whimper, you'll be heard in this wasteland

To believe in due process

Lawman, your man, either side of the fence disregarding the other as suspect

To approach the killer of your child demanding respect

Pressure under water like Loch Ness

A few choice words will calm your unrest

And react till you know you'll be answered back

To want

And say fuck it

Brush aside all notions of justice

Make good the ancient professions

To be surrounded by strangers

United in a wordless statement

It is frightening having this much presence

To belong to something bigger than a jam session queue

See the world from a not so desperate point of view

Wash your grievances in public

With a horn to your sides and your back, go menace

Cause mayhem, make madness

To hurt your own home so hard

The whole world knows you're alive

And to not give a damn if it doesn't

To set something, anything alight

Face down galore just for one night

Go on, hey, put your lips to my power and sip

Feel big like Caesar

Roman road, stride not run

Do not just be there when Rome burns

Got to hold the torch now

Help smash, grab cash

You're not a fool where I can just brave this, foolish

And let's face it, who raises your belief to loop behind

Who raises your belief to loops behind

Who raises your belief to loop behind

Who raises your belief to loop behind

Who raises your belief to loop behind...
