Double Standards (feat. Sampha)

Check the foundations Structural imbalance Calling Double Standards I fell on my face Hands in the rubble People walking over me I was one of them and kept walking away I kept walking away Away Away Away Away I kept walking away Away Away Away I kept walking away Look around the world all I see is Double Standards A mum naming her son Mohammed is a madness Jacks in the airport with drugs in his baggage And security are troubling Mohammed bout a sandwich I was on the phone with a pal of mine They asked me why their helping Ukraine and not Palestine And I've replied brown skin we was so whitewashed Laughing at names we had problems pronouncing Kwam said that his name is Jerome And he's from the Caribbean just so people leave him alone And I remember it was fufu and voodoo jokes Until he found the same ting that gave the zulu hope Sarah's dad hates blacks but her babies mixed race And all he's thinking is she may have been raped Imagine being light skin and grandads racist And every time your there you hear an African statement Look around the world, all I see is Double Standards Even Mark Zuckerberg covers up his cameras Steve Jobs never let his kids use an iPad And my thinks that I'm bad "MAD" Nye had no TV until she was a grown up I used to think what the fuck when she told us The government have got us in a chokehold A hero if I kill for my country And a villain if I kill for my postcode Only fighting for my freedom if it comes to it You gotta use your brain before you put a gun to his I had to loose my way before I understood the trip The good die young the cemetery's full of shoulda been There's days I'm doing more and saying less What's war wars rich white men playing chess What for well it's all about the land they finesse God mad man and then man made a mess Check the foundations Structural imbalance Calling double standards I fell on my face Hands in the rubble People walking over me I was one of them and kept walking away I kept walking away Away Away Away Away Away Away They giving brothers life sentences for drugs When a paedophile will probably get less than 20 months In the same day same court same judge We only break the law cus the laws try to break us So how am I meant to be corrected When they put my name and address in the papers But a child molesters identities protected Is anyone addressing these failures I just spoke to my mum ahh man She said police just killed another unarmed man Everyone complains But nobody wan go back home it come like we don't love our land Everyone's in Ghana in December Come back home and start complaining about the weather Raheem could score a hundred goals When he miss a penalty it's monkey jokes whoa And they got everybody clapping for the NHS But they don't wanna put no cash into the NHS Soon it's gunna be what happened to the NHS Politicians getting paid more than teachers Satan getting prays more than Jesus Most bad bitches ain't artists But they still paid for their features It's the realest coming through the speakers Yeezys the only reason we wore Adidas And I don't wear Balenciaga anymore And now I've said it fashion week probably won't have me seated Deep it here's a little insight Peep it there goes my invite I preed it no one's speaking that's why I'm a outsider on the inside I got beef with the HMRC The tax man jacks man takes half my p I'm looking at the total blue can't you see Every time I pay tax it's hard to breathe I don't know if I'm parro man But I can talk about killings and drug dealings But Black Rose is my only tune that's shadow banned
