[Hook]
I'm watching TV
When it's not on
But I prefer it
I'm watching TV
And it's not on
But I prefer it
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Stalking my shadow in the valley of death
Trying to find the value in collateralised death
We love where the ghosts the walk
Them a talk, them a talk and talk
Can we talk about needing jobs?
Can we talk about cleaning blocks?
Can we talk about grief and loss?
Can we talk about young black boys?
Out in the street and just ah get shot
How you gonna let them killer cops off
Blood on your hands you can't wash
A sermon for a sinner from a prisoner of God
So scream for your life, dream of the dead
Paralyzed by the gun to your head
I can't breathe, with my hands held up
I can't breathe, with my hands held up
Some way, some day
We won't have to cry this way
Some way, some day
My people won't die this way
Some way, some day
We won't have to cry this way
Some way, some day
My people won't die this way
[Hook]
I'm watching TV
When it's not on
But I prefer it
I'm watching TV
And it's not on
But I prefer it
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Babylon ah talk
Some me walk with mi sumthin
How you mean unnu life worth nothing
Skyward bussing for the thief and glutton
Put a whole in God for his war non stop
Pagans mock and bright lights ah get hot
Who forgot the real things
Like steel rings round our neck
Who forgot the real things
Like the screaming of our dead?
I can't breathe, with my hands held up
I can't breathe again
[Hook]
I'm watching TV
When it's not on
But I prefer it
I'm watching TV
And it's not on
But I prefer it
Yeah
[Verse 3]
These people are pagans the shit they believe
But I told you these people are amateur
She ran from the [?]
Put away all your past and you're powerless
[?]
[?]
[?]
These people keep taking and taking from me
But you come around with the family
[?], you abandoned me
Do you get you were never a friend of me?
[?]
Now I can't find no chill, can't find no chill
I'm still here, I'm still here
No I can't find no chill
I need to lock off my mind still
