lowkey - fire in the booth (part 2) كلمات الأغنية

Loading...

[intro]
you know what time it is when you hear this right
yeah, fire in the booth, much antic-p-ted part 2
hold tight suspense, listen
if they don’t let us dream then we won’t let them sleep
if they don’t let us dream then we won’t let them sleep
listen

[verse – alphabet -ss-ssin part 2]
it’s the zeitgeist, zapatista, zorro at his zenith
z of zinc in the zebra zig-zagging zealots
zilch to zombies and zionists he’s zen in his zodiac
fire in the booth? it’s zoroastrian the zone he’s at
like yapping like yokozuna in yemen youtubing yoga
or yokozuna in yeovil yodelling in yoruba
they yelling your yardstick of yesteryear like yeboah
they’re yearning, i’m yawning this like a yeti vs yoda
i’m an x-ray you’re xerox, i’m xavier to the x-men
ex out xmas like your xanax to an extent
a wonderful world is waiting while weapons wage war we’re weeping
who’s winning? we’re wishing well while wicked wizards webs were weaving
they whip us ’til we’re wheezing
our words of wisdom won’t weaken
witness these whatl-ss witless wallies waffling with their weekend
their wording is wikipedia virtually void of vitals
verses visceral
vintage but vivid videos going viral
i’m your uncle that understands
now it’s us with the upper hand
we were underlings underrated unhuman to uncle sam
the theory teaches that there are those thinking tactics to take the throne
though the truth tends to be told
through their thesaurus it takes its toll
slivering snakes stipulate systems to sell your soul
secretly seek social stratification set in stone
regiments ravaged the region now its ripe for reparations
rendered refugees can’t retract or repair ramifications
on a quest to quash the quarrels i’m quintessentially qualified
quitters quake the quality of my quotes can’t quite be quantified
people p-ss prematurely and pay the price for p-ssivity
pretext to pillage, plunder prepare to prolong proximity
a puppets pathology pulverized by these possibilities
people power is potent and the peak of positivity
oligarchs ostracise others offer obituaries
overall i overstand the odyssey optimistically
the norms of a nascent nation should never negate nature
nasty as nefarious neo-con naysayers for neighbours
this masterful maverick mic man, will make you meet your maker
meanwhile merciless mercenaries manoeuvre to meet to the majors
lyrically lackl-stre literally lack love
l-st living lavish in luxury listeners lap up
a kaleidoscope of kindness, knowledge, knuckles and kerosene
to k!ll the kleptocracy and cool the kettle that they kept us in
jabbing javelins at jingoism
jealousy justified when jeering at jobless is journalism
information industry interlinked with infantry
instrumentalise ident-ty implant ignorance instantly
hackers in handcuffs, harvesters of hatred hand gliding
harbingers of har-ssment harbour harmful handwriting
gangsters of globalisation glorify glitz and the glam
give us guidance to the graveyard they got the gift of the gab
it’s flawless how they fabricate the folklore of the fiefdom
funnell funds to freelance fighters and fawn over fights for freedom
entertainment is education, empathy is eccentric
economics everything, exploitation an epidemic
exhausting environment is easy but the dividends are deadly
don’t dare dream of doing different dread our destruction is definitely
coming as the catalysts clamour for capital
can’t counteract the cycle this catastrophe could cancel all
bring borders to bear bombarded with the broken
basically bribery beckons business we are beholden
though accurate answers to all of the above aren’t available
i attack the alphabet again and aced it just to aim at you
they say anything is attainable
attack the alphabet again and ace (it just to aim at you)

[verse 2]
if they don’t let us dream, then we won’t let ’em sleep
if they don’t let us dream, then we won’t let ’em sleep
how can i do a fire in the booth, when i’m trying just to maintain
and since june don’t hear the word fire in the same way
heard screams, splutters and them gasping for air
that’s not bars in a booth it’s so hard to compare
if i use fire as metaphor
does that disrespect the people that are never more?
how does that bomb sound sound to those that bled in war that we never saw?
remember when they settled scores with metal swords like skeletor
chinese made gun powder, n-bel invented dynamite
they say the guilt in his mind compelled him to design the prize
we know what einstein’s mind was like
how many g*niuses we never knew that were deprived of life?
i can’t philosophise on horrifying flames
we don’t have to apologise or qualify our pain
degrenfellise our loved ones of the colonisers name
should we let the corporate media lobotomise our brains
you are beautiful, no matter how this life disfigures you
you’re beautiful even if that image you emulate isn’t you
i don’t know if history is linear or cyclical
but know i’m ridiculed for making invisibles visible
that’s why plato said banish poets from the republic
‘cause they know that we can shake the social system and disrupt it
the land of liberty, they tell us leave it or lump it
when trump comes to the country we hope he chokes on his crumpet
before we sink in the ocean, consider this as an omen
natures blessings aren’t ours just ‘cause we think that we own them
never think that you’re broken, or think that you’re no-one
remember a rope is strong because of strings interwoven
would they love you more if you mock the people that you’re from
self-orientalise and believe that you belong
overcompensate and propagate the image of the imbecile
not uninvolved though you’re further from the k!lling field
take solace in the fact there’s always cracks in the monolith
now we’re practically lobbing bricks like asterix and obelix
distracted with gossip it’s twisted news an interlude to adverts no hidden truths to listen to it’s pitiful
rosa luxembourg gave us this simple truth
you won’t feel your chains till the day you begin to move
he photographed a corpse and they flung him in the cage
those that signed off on the cladding are still receiving their wage
helicopters hovered close, pictures for the front page
tried to speak all i really felt deep was numb rage
how could they see this pain at such a young age
leaning out the window, screaming for help but none came
if it bleeds it leads, trauma tourists they gravitate
shock doctrine in effect, disaster capitalists salivate
privitisation, deregulation and austerity
to zero hour contracts, exploitation and precarity
adults didn’t make it, children to be fostered
saved pennies on the block, dropped 20 million on the opera
we see through your cold plans, your programme is done
we don’t want a prime minister that holds hands with trump
we don’t want djs doing shows on military compounds
can’t trivialise fire or hear any more bomb sounds
how can i smile when i know the remains are still not found
and echoing in my mind is exactly how the sobs sound
they say we’re criminals for the syllables and stanzas
when they subsidise the k!llers tools, the pillagers and bankers
who are the engines of history, people like me and you
who got m-ssacred for the right to vote at peterloo
it was imagineers, the poets and the artists
the miners, tolpuddle martyrs, william cuffay and the chartists
rebel and resist even through something small
create windows with words and mirrors where once were walls
manure contributes to the beauty of a rose
why can’t we accept our pain as something that helps us grow
they wonder why songs that make you cry are more moving
‘cause crying’s the only thing that we were born doing
they tell us tea is tradition to the english
when i look around this island not a tea plantation in it
earl gray gave 20 million to the slave traders
multi-polar world now the indians are sp-ce raiders
freedom to be even or merely alienate labour
freedom for fossil fuellers to desecrate and invade nature
albert was an immigrant, prince phillip is an immigrant
were the celts, normans and the anglo-saxons english, then?
the words sugar, cotton and rice come from arabic
now we import democracy to civilise the saracens
-n-lysing planets when this back water was wilderness
it seems we’re still obsessed with immortality like gilgamesh
pessimism of intellect, optimism of will
wear the skin of their victims its syndrome buffalo bill
in times of permanent war there is always someone to k!ll
but when life and death are virtual almost nothing is real
they got my snapshots in a padlocked box
settle with the heavy metal this is rap not rock
it’s fire in the booth but man’s not hot
i just got g*nius bars like a laptop shop
they wanna know if i’ve got a flow, or i’m gonna blow
back like geronimo pratt let’s rock ‘n roll
i never sold my soul for a pot of gold
now feel this scholar’s solid knowledge in your collar bone
subject of propaganda, that terrifies the slumbered
but the alb-ms still sell you can verify the numbers
collectivise or die, protect your mind or suffer
life is paradise to some and a pair of dice to others
while these twittering teens, are sinking in screens and thinking in memes
they blink and this machine is pimping their dreams
i think it’s obscene, as sick as it seems
they don’t know what lyrical invincibility means
barge through for part 2, i can’t lose
labels astroturfing trying to make it look gr-ss roots
gone are the days we sold our cds from the car boot
a sharpshooter shooting harpoons through your chart tunes
i saw pain in the eyes of a tired retired fire man
knowing he couldn’t save a child survive the frying pan
when we riot we disquiet the leviathan
forget iron man i got an iron lion’s diaphragm
my salutation to those with imagination
most antic-p-ted and that’s no exaggeration
the flag doesn’t exist let me back up that statement
what happens to the nation, if the queen has a tax haven?
what’s commonsensical is sensible to question
what seems to be a lesson is intellectual repression
say the ting goes… as expression of aggression
remember there are two victims on either side of the weapon
we won’t let ‘em sleep
if they don’t let us dream, then we won’t let them sleep
if they don’t let us dream, then we won’t let them sleep…
listen, check it

[verse 3]
power to those who read bell hooks
power to those who sell books
power to those who know how the inside of a cell looks
all those feeling helpless, forgotten or discarded
power to the strange fruit they thought was rotting in their garden
power to those sitting alone seeking solace in the calmness
power to those feeling stained know your tomorrow isn’t tarnished
power to those who sweep the streets
with more knowledge than phds
power to those who keep their keys
return is promised please believe
power to those that suffer in silence
and those it hurts to hear
power to those that hold their ground
power to those that persevere
power to those that love humanity more than they love style
power to immigrants that’s probably raising donald trump’s child
power to the blind who can’t imagine what sight is
power to those staring at the moon and all those working night shifts
power to readers, the writers, the illiterate
power to those that struggle to decolonise their syllabus
power to the shy ones that always struggled to make friends
and to the half of humanity worth less than 8 men
power to those that risked their lives to dig the coltan from the ground
for the mic i’m spitting on and the phone you’re holding now
power to those that built the stadium they’re playing in
power to those that mowed the gr-ss and the st-tched the ball that their playing with
every rapper that doesn’t rap about k!lling
power to the builders who build buildings that outlived them
power to the slaves of ancient greece that never had the right to vote
democracy dead like gary webbe when they import it like it’s c-ke
power to those that write to prison
power to those writing home
power to those writing poems, power to those that died alone
power to curtis mayfield, power to ronald isley
power to the fishermen that were forced into piracy
power for every person that is working in a library
power to every nurse that we turn to in our times of need
power to the unions and the miners thatcher punished
power to those that drive the buses and those that collect the rubbish
power to the youth desiring the truth
power for every rapper that is dying for a fire in the booth
for those that lost limbs to king leopold’s quota
and those risking their lives for the p&o to dover
power to union leaders murdered by…
power to victims of this globalised cosa nostra
power to those dying on the sh-r-s and the borders
power to human beings that were rendered fauna and flora
power to those that clean up after the stage shows
and carnival goers haunted by kelso colchrane’s ghost
power to kevin carter his picture taunts us ever after
so many questions never answered….
remember the last words of abd al-mohsin al-sadoun
الامة تنتظر الخدمة الانجليز لا يوافقون
power to al-jawahiri and his rebellions
they k!lled his brother jafar and he cursed the rotten thamesians
enlightened despots pursuing tactics machiavellian
chinese steel preceded europe a millennium
think about it, printed press half a millenium, never get close
power to ken loach and every volunteer in lesbos
cuban doctors sent to sri lanka for the tsunami
power to those that cleaned up after the bullingdon parties
kids knowing apple products before they know what an apple is
forgotten like p-ssengers on the uss indianapolis
dying days before they could see what little boy’s damage did
on precipice of fascism our p-ssiveness is cancerous
power to those strong enough to dream
power to those that choose not to be a cog in the machine
power to those that love first and hate never
power to those that sleep on streets through grey weather
power to aziz ali and bone thugs and harmony
power to norman baker, david kelly’s ulnar artery
power to the genocided population of tasmania
the internet descends to trumptastic fantasia
let them try quote this, you’ll never find a better diagnosis than collective psychosis
it’s getting quite hopeless but hope is all we have
trying cultivate the positive not focus on the bad
but the globe’s under attack
the obnoxious rage of a fake intellectual
amazing grace in the age of the spectacle
not the first time they found a racist electable
to raise to the pedestal and desecrate the place that translated the decimal
i don’t want to tempt fate
power to corpse washers like salvador allende
power to language learners from bernie sanders fans to flag burners
one man’s inertia is another man’s purpose
in utopia of song we are victorious
but the bitter sweet reality’s not this glorious
power to coltrane watching malcolm x
power to paul robeson under house arrest
power to galileo under house arrest
power to ibn haytham under house arrest
forgive me if i sound obsessed
forgive me if i sound depressed
believe me that’s not how it’s meant
they probably thought i couldn’t come back and k!ll the alphabet
el pueblo unido jamas sera vencido
el pueblo unido jamas sera vencido
sayin’ pueblo unido jamas sera vencido
الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام
sayin’ pueblo unido jamas sera vencido
el pueblo unido jamas sera vencido
sayin’ pueblo unido jamas sera vencido
الشعب يريد إسقاط النظام
