SWITCH PLACES Lyrics

How about me and you switch places

Now it's your turn to call me racist

I'll complain about immigration

Everything we ever had they came to take it

Riches and Rajas

Every saga in the land been decimated

Centuries of violence escalated

They wonder why we emigrated

Same smile on a different face

Meant to fly they put us in a cage

Same vibe in a different space

Take time to a different age

Life of an immigrant

Get em to deliver it

Language deliberate

Won't take a knee

Cos we bow down to Elizabeth

Social media's got echo chambers

Spouting gibberish

These billionaires been moving the coldest

Upstairs the tactics the oldest

They keep us fighting each other

And hope that we won't notice

Cos they're pulling the strings from the top

Got puppet politicians on the drop

Have us fighting to the end for the crops

Catch us setting fire to the shops

I'm just tryna set fire to the booth

I'm too tired to just hit mute

There's decay but they can't find the root

Most of the public can't handle the truth

Country built on immigration

How ever did we get so racist?

Now how's it discrimination?

How about we just switch places?

Cos they came

They saw

They took

It all

A million shades of brown

But none of them are expats

Seeking asylum?

You're gonna get sent back

Used to see light

And now it's dead black

Walk outside

Her heads gone get smacked

Post-truth era

If they said facts

Sensationalism is all about extracts

Not enough jobs?

Put the blame on us

Not enough schools?

Put the blame on us

No healthcare?

Put the blame on us

We're not like them

They not like us

Adam lit a building on fire

Simply a protest

He took it to the wire

But it's backwards if Amad conspired

Politicians and the press are full of liars

I'll play this tune through the speakers

I hate fascists call me Antifa

It's like all of them got amnesia

Supremacists spots don't change like a cheetah

Use melanin to label the terrorist

Cos you would never ever catch them shelling it

Now it's our job to keep benevolent?

I can't breathe in the room cos the elephant's

Staring at us in the face

Still about Colour

Genes

Race

Work 10 times harder for some praise

Old habits die hard what a disgrace

I thought our kingdom's united

Majority still unguided

Can we just admit

It's been decided

We suffer together when we're divided?
